Tiny campervan with toilet, shower + kitchen, sleeps four : Dreamer Cap Lande

[@VanlifewithAlan]

See description for details of van spec.

[@JohnSmith-zv8km]

The shower arrangement looks crazy, just a way of getting your van wet.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I think the idea is to take care John!

[@loucipher7782]

most likely will zap that fridge too lmfao then the van will flood and everyone get electrocuted inside

[@neefeef]

I love the warm voice from the man who presents the video.

[@patcoburn1960]

Seeing you "making" up the bed was hilarious. Great entertainment. 👏

[@mrsjanhannah]

Shower areas should be laminated not veneered wood panels.

[@EdVanWest]

Such a beautiful built complete with kitchen shower and toilet; awesome wood furnishing as well. Thanks for the great share.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@fozzir]

This guy can sell! Rock-Star content right here!

[@merlin0215]

You're a joy to watch

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Thanks Merlin!

[@homehomeontheroad3003]

After watching hundreds of camper van videos, this van has the most cumbersome bed system ever. It’s absolutely ridiculous!

[@GrumpSkull]

I'd need a nap half way through setting up the bed.

[@merlin0215]

It's absolutely hilarious!

[@seanfallon4580]

You just pop the roof up and you have a bed in one minute or so, easy pesy

[@davidhutton7709]

@@seanfallon4580 ...yep...agreed. Just leave the dinette in place and use the top bed. If you're elderly and don't want to climb up and down... simply...this van isn't for them. I like it tbh.

[@cablb9118]

Making the bed "downstairs" looks like Tetris for "runaways" ..... like Otto Waalkes would say :-) ...... Alan ... happy holidays and a good start in 2021

[@sybilyap7949]

Lovely set-up. Easy parking

[@Frost-tb9qs]

This van is perfect for 1 person or a couple. It has everything you need. I imagine if I was ever in position where I needed housing quick, this would be a life saver

[@gerrynightingale9045]

*if you had the $$$$$$ to buy this 'Ultra High-End Small Camper' WHY would you ever worry over 'Quick Housing?'*

[@adtrance7308]

bring it to USA.. lots of small family are waiting for such van including me.

[@onthefly4711]

Wow you can have a beer while using the toilet.... Why don´t they have a TV on the fridge?

[@BEACHLIFE78]

Awesome camper great share 🙂👍

[@MrKlawUK]

that extra rear facing bench seat just looks like it wastes space. I like the rear toilet arrangement but would it be possible combined with a traditional rock and roll bed that slides forwards? Or a shorter R&R bed that perhaps uses the front seats to extend the length?

[@MINKIN2]

The answer to what nobody was asking... Yes it is possible to feel claustrophobic whilst living outside!

[@petervan7372]

toa next to refrigerator, inputting and outputting at the same time

[@mariad4183]

Great walkthrough! Thank you!

[@littletiara374]

I need one like right now

[@Fujin5566]

Puzzle cushion bed

[@davidbrodie5044]

An interesting layout but probably too many compromises for me, particularly that lower bed.....imagine putting that together after a couple of glasses of wine!

[@felterhills7973]

Thanks but the inertia design has lots of room to improve comparing with some European mini models.

[@smooman792]

What a faf 😫that bed is and I would love to see how much of the shower base I could see under my size 12 feet and are the controls waterproof. I think the nugget does it better even without the shower and fixed toilet.too many compromises.

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

Definite hints of the Kepler One, but on a Ford base vehicle so ideal for those of us not so keen on VW - and probably a bit cheaper for that too. Having the second sliding door on the UK passenger side is a real plus too, compared to the K1 which only has the single slider. I noted you mentioned the €3k extra for the auto box option, but did you include the base/as shown price please?

[@garysmith63]

"Coco the 🤡 failed to mention the 2 doors. He most probably didn't even notice!!!

[@rolandsuch]

Westfalia Mobile belongs to the Rapido Group as does Dreamer.

[@chrisdunn3235]

This is a good van if you happen to be a minimalist. It looks to have everything one would want but on a smaller scale. The one downfall I saw was that the shore power hookup is on the inside of the van. Why would they have done that? Am I missing something?

[@jamesyuen9390]

You should like jigsaw puzzles to get this van.

[@douglashouston81]

Nice van, But a fixed bed for me. Merry Christmas Alan

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I would want a fixed bed too! Happy holidays!

[@ribotadesajambre7061]

Exactly what I need and want...can I buy it in the US?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

No, not available in US. But Westfalia will be in a couple of years time and they have something similar.

[@marjmilitar6716]

Won't it leak or get wet all over when you take a shower? Also, I know that we have to make it work what we have to... But I'm really not comfortable having the fridge in front of the potty or shower. The other no-build or non-pro built vans manage to position it more strategically.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

One has to be very careful - bear in mind that this is no bigger than many cars but is has all this equipment inside!

[@ulihxx]

That is also the question that I had in mind. I‘m really impressed by the layout but would I use the shower inside? Anyway the shower doesn‘t take up much space. I would probably use the outdoor shower more frequently. Great camper, love it.

[@SueElliott1]

Think I’d rather freeze to death in the tent 🤣

[@chadclark2684]

OMG that bed is a nightmare!!!

[@kevyndignum4636]

A lot of seating but didn’t notice seatbelts,

[@VanlifewithAlan]

You can clearly see them when I remove the cushions.

[@insideXperience]

What other models bar this one and the Ford Westfalia Nugget Plus are available in this category with pop up roof (i.e. vehicle height max 2,05m) and with toilet/shower?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

The biggest choice is from Westfalia, although other companies have tried too such as Hymer and Karmann Mobil.

[@constructioneerful]

The Wildax Pulsar seems an excellent alternative.

[@alanwilson1651]

Hard work noway would I want it after 200 mile drive 😢

[@darekcituk491]

yep, this table won't last long..chipped edges in no time

[@EladansClan]

Do you think the 130PS motorisation will be enough?

[@ralphbernhard1757]

A shower in such a small space is going to be messy, especially with kids or those inclined to have little discipline. Why not just make an outside shower? Attach a shower curtain to that big upward opening back door for privacy, stand on a wooden grid to allow water to flow off, a pair of crocs for afterwards...finished.

[@AllAboutNat]

Yeah, lovely van but the configuration is a nightmare.

[@KaptainKastle]

I see shower base but no shower

[@BWanderers]

A lot of faff, but I suspect that if you need/want/have to operate in such a small space, you'll be accepting of it. There are places & times only a small van like this would be viable. Good 'adventure' wagon. R.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I would like to give it a go!

[@coolcat1148]

Does it sell in US CA?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Not at present.

[@debramcdonald2516]

Need one in the US.

[@HOPE.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeClub]

The DUMBEST decision I ever made was passing in Dodge Grand Caravan that had been converted into a camper car. The company added a raised roof. And the layout reminds me of this one. Uhh, what was I thinking 🤔

[@stuspawton]

I really wish companies would stop using the Ford Transit custom for conversions, they're actually some of the worst bodies for converting, your rear windows are completely useless too.

[@MarkM-on4xk]

lol video (van) was great until the puzzle bed process was revealed .. surely this can be made easier

[@VanlifewithAlan]

One could always use the cushions to sleep on the floor!

[@MarkM-on4xk]

@@VanlifewithAlan hah

[@warecho]

yes I was about to say! if with a couple of beers you need to do a puzzle when you go to sleep, I would rather sleep on the floor!

[@garysmith63]

It would be a lot simpler if you didn't have such a clown demonstrating it.

[@miftahulmaulidha1252]

the car is awesome but the explanation is confusing, you should filming it one by one from the front to the back systematically. So it easier to watch.

[@renskeldon8309]

LOL I liked the lay out until you put the bed together. I was LOL the whole time, never in a million years would you want yo do that every day. LOL 😂 thank god cushions are numbered. LOL 😂

[@Jan.Sk8]

[@radarplotextractor3168]

Logically I'm waiting for the cameraman to tell me to put the table in the empty slot. 😆

About the beds. I suppose French logic has never been exactly the same as British logic. I'm surprised Canada has never been blown apart.

[@cellinimedusa4679]

You sound like Paul Daniels. Not a lot, but you do

[@kerrybutcher283]

I would not like that bed. Imagine trying to do that when you are tired and after a drink 🙄 I think I would just use the drop down bed.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

or leave it made!

[@GoldieGold356]

Woah, I'm exhausted watching you do the bed, and really why bother with that shower, can you imagine everything will be getting a hose down when you try and change water angles. Just say no.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Obviously one has to be careful.

[@istanbulguide2279]

Making this bed requires an engineering degree 🤔

[@istanbulguide2279]

Alan, I appreciate your effort for showing it to us 👏🏻

Peugeot engine and gearbox though......ugh 😕

[@robertcoren7318]

Too much crammed into too small a space.

[@stonemason4902]

It is an ok concept, but at 60 odd thousand euros, it is poorly executed. eg the shower base trip hazard. eg the roof top is just flimsy material eg why have a relatively giant wardrobe when the toilet and shower area are so badly done. They need one good bed solution and less of this "dinette" area. Good videos though, thanks.

[@Turbomgzt]

No point having a shower if no hot water feed.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

There is hot water to the shower.

[@thinkingoutofthebox.9421]

Ford Transit custom Devon Firefly hightop is cheaper and better.

[@seanfallon4580]

Ya wouldn't want to be drunk making up that bed 🤔🤔🤔 westfalia Nugget is way better This is to much of a faff to do crazy system

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I think the idea is to do the bed before you start drinking.

[@gerarddorle7141]

Et les toilettes, l'école pour les gosses...

[@loucipher7782]

what horrible design that shower is just there for the tick on paper you will destroy the vehicle by taking shower in there lmfao

[@brendabardsley3082]

This is the worse lay out i have ever seen in a van, does not work .

[@TheRoamingBen]

This might actually be the worst bed setup/design I’ve ever seen! Id probably just sleep on the floor. 😂.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Ben, I think that one has to bear in mind the size of the vehicle which makes it difficult to set a bed up but on the subject of sleeping on the floor, I have argued for this in many videos. I have ordered an air mattress to see how well this works!

[@TheRoamingBen]

@@VanlifewithAlanSometimes the best solution is the simply solution indeed Alan! Airbeds nowadays can be pretty darn good!

[@Digital0.0]

This looks horrible

[@michaelpowell9625]

Too much in to small a space.

A point I often make in my videos.

Why don't you familiarise yourself with the product first instead of fiddling your way through a presentation.

What a horrible bedding solution! It would drive me crazy in no time.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Perhaps we should have showed me putting it together once I knew how to do it instead of trying to work it out as I went along. However, maybe the course of action we took was the most realistic as it is what normal people face!
