ULTIMATE FAMILY CAMPER VAN - With 5 Belted Seats & Bunk Beds! Dreamer Family Van

[@supersonicsid5930]

That’s a great van , The layout is really clever one of the best vans I’ve ever seen to be honest

[@LisaMarli]

Love Harvey. He's so cute. And I love the swinging wall in the bathroom. Nice way to deal with the shower and making a wet bath almost dry. Nice space in the back for the kids and storage. The compact genius of the Camper Vans are finally coming to America and I love seeing it.

[@flybyairplane3528]

Lisa Marli, hi that vehicle is a FIAT, WHOM OWNS FIAT CHRYSLER, the RAM devision does have similar, NOT IDENTICAL, so check them , also FORD TRANSIT has different models 3 heights 3 lengths , I am sure they have changed interiors to suit the buyers !. then there are various designed on the MB SPRINTER there is NOW a petrol engine is available ,for those whom do not want DIESEL 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@alexba1ley]

Incredible! I think this layout is close to ideal for a family or group of friends. Love that the dining/working area has belted seats so passengers can do activities at the table while in transit. And the convertible bathroom is ingenious.

[@bonnienklyde918]

I love this van. Its perfect.

[@CarterArt1]

As a teenage boy, I love the concept of the curtains on the bunks! Great idea!

[@Bones575]

Yes, from a teen's point of view. Privacy is important.

[@andrewviol]

The best camper I have ever see ! Very good job and I love the outlet of this camper

[@seanfallon4580]

1000 times nicer than the VW Grand California, a lovely van and well thought out Love the videos thank you and hope all is well in these very uncertain times👌

[@Wee-Rex]

“Kids would love this” I would sleep in the bunks 😂 that van is staggering!

[@judycreary6260]

Love, love, love, love, I'm sooooooooo in love with this van, this is a real camper van

[@karenlockhart790]

OK I have to say this is the smartest, best van and video I've ever seen! It's perfect, everything I'd want for my family! You really showed everything very well not just quick glimpses of different areas like most other videos, which is frustrating. I think the only thing the camera didn't show was the shoe storage, or maybe my phone was being stupid 🤷‍♀️. I loved everything about this van... Genius build!!!

[@campakilla1]

Having spent the weekend next to a family playing jenga with all their kit in a cali (luckily the weather was good) this seems more sensible... however those on site with kids who were in caravans had it best for sure !!

[@miftahulmaulidha1252]

this is BEST MINI CAMPERVAN unit that I watched. I LOVE IT

[@endverbraucher8521]

good presentation! we switched from the VW California to the Family Van 2 years ago. The van is perfect for the four of us, the seating area is huge, the beds are comfortable and sufficient, the van is fully usable even in winter, the workmanship is fine. I only had to remove various squeaks (in which motorhome there are not?), optimize the heater vents, install a LifePo4 battery, then it was perfect for a family.

[@bazangelopoulos]

Nice to see you back again missed you guys.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Hello 👋

[@ianwiggins8782]

Nice to see you both back and your son

[@Barebum1985]

This qualify for a full time family living ❤ everything needed is available in this camper van but now after watching the set up of this van for me it's not even a camper van anymore but a full time living van

[@SingaporeGregory]

Well done. Nicely edited resulting in probably your best demo to date.

[@robjopling1573]

The Adria Twin 640 has had the same clever shower arrangement for a number of years.

[@hollycross300]

It’s similar, but I think it’s a lot smaller

[@philw4625]

This is one of the cleverest van conversions. Better as a 4 or 3 berth perhaps, but practical nonetheless. My kids are grown up now, so no need thankfully!

[@hollycross300]

We are a family of 4, so yes perfect for us. However I like the idea that if the bottom bunk is folded away and we are using the storage area we can use the table area for them to sleep.

[@kimhorton6109]

Can’t take the descending bed. Years ago, researching RVs and travel vans I bought a very used Winnie View just because it had a shower and permanent bed. Never wanted to reconfigure so I could sleep because I stopped a lot in interstate rest stops. I had a lot of fun with it but it was too tall to fit in my garage. Every spring I had to deal with squirrel nests and the damage they do living under the hood all winter. Now I have an ‘83 Vanagon that is enough for an old, white haired old man. It’s all in what makes you happy This van’s front lounge is very nice and a huge fridge!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Great build. You don't see many built for family use. Love the layout and design elements.

[@janewhitzend688]

Some very clever features and excellent explanation of how they work.

[@CaraVanOlogywithBecky]

Saw these at the NEC show a few years ago, excellent van (probably the ultimate family van) with one small but hugely important exception (for us anyway) and that was how narrow the rear seats were, tight even for late primary age kids, nicely sculpted but v narrow (other manufacturers have exactly the same and are less comfy looking hence we decided on a Caravelle to tow a small caravan rather than van); think I have a photo of my boys (eldest v skinny, youngest more like a prop forward!) trying to sit together but with their shoulders overlapping, even with the one on the outside sort of hanging off a bit - would have caused far too many arguments! If the manufacturer could have the seats on sideways slide rails (think Hymer have something like that in their vans or RIB seats also slide) would really be the ultimate van (if they could also get isofix in the rear?) that would actually last for ages even with growing kids. Great review, thanks Harvey great points well made (love his playpen!) ;-)

[@cj9667]

Brilliant how the section in the bathroom moves! Clever little camper

[@ukgroucho]

Great review and one of the few compact options for a family with 3 kids - or an extended surfing group or whatever (not that I'd expect a group of younger surfers to be able to afford). Originally ordered a Dreamer XL from a different dealer to this one and they messed us around (sold our delivery slot to someone with a trade in I suspect) so cancelled and was lucky to find a Dreamer D60 Fun that was destined for the cancelled NEC show in 2020... picked it up last December and it sat on the drive for 5 months :( But it worked out really well. Addition of a Labrador puppy made the D60 make more sense - better bedding areas for him - and he (the puppy) has done his John O'groats (Scottish North West Coast 500) and Lands End photos already. Our first camper and loving it. Done 23 days so far. I'm off to the Welsh coast in a few days for a short fishing trip and we are doing 10 days in Northumberland and Scotland in September once the kids go back... might slide a few days in before that. The van has been great. Compact but innovative designs. We looked at few and Dreamer ticked our boxes. I love the separate shower and toilet BUT ... I also love the huge fridge freezer in the D60... we really can stock up and do 10 days without having to shop.

[@alohatvn]

The van is simply amazing 👏😍🙌👌.

[@martinmontano251]

England has such a Wonderful Country side !

[@zeroize852]

amazing how they fit all these features sensibly in the Ducato platform! thanks for the video.

[@rowan718]

Good review as always, thanks Team B&B. I think more vans should do fifth occasional seats. As a family of four we can’t take Grandma out for the day. Unless I stay at home and watch the footy !

[@flybyairplane3528]

AB&BEYOND, This is quite a layout , that bathroom swing door is pure genius ! , sleeps so many + seats w/belts RAM in USA is owned by FIAT so the ONLY DIESEL if you need one is a FIAT engine , otherwise engines ARE PETROL, 15 MPG ON THE FLATS, but down to 9 mpg on mountains ! Automatic , how old is HARVEY now ? Big boy all the best to you all, happy trails 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@gitaapatel]

Thank you that was really a great, perfect demo. Harvey was an extra attraction. He seemed very happy in his lovely playpen. The van is beautiful. Wonder how much it is. The owners will be v happy and lucky. Very good to have seatbelts which we don’t have, although it is just us two who travel in our bus. Thank you both. Missed seeing Bentley. 🙏

[@hollycross300]

Thank you we are very excited with our new van. We are a family of 4 (and Daisy Dog).

[@jasonnewton7969]

The van looks awesome liking the name too!! All I’ll be doing is dreaming of a van and not actually buying one 😞

[@Iomar1975]

I know I'll get mauled by the other commenters but I definetely prefer the lowering bed set up over the pop-top,. From my point of view the lowering bed is far superior as it doesn't entail extensive modifications to the van to be installed in, it can be used in all weather conditions, it is protected by the vehicle itself and not by a few pieces of cloth that may or may not be of good quality which is why many resort to covers to better protect theirs, and last but definetely not least it isn't claustrophobic as is even the widest of the pop-top beds.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

You make lots of good points! Thanks for watching!

[@default5598]

We went full blown Motorhome, fun, but not practical (for us anyway). Traded it for a t6 and loving it, been so many places larger vans can only dream of. Brilliant review, these Van's are cool👍

[@ABusAndBeyond]

I think a lot of people chop and change their vans depending on what they want out of them at that time in their lives! There’s nothing wrong with change! So glad you’re loving your T6!

[@tempelotraxanas]

i can stay for ever at this van

Nice review...van is great for a family...Thanks!

[@Lracnolip]

best van ever

[@DS-cf1zc]

I thought it was your new van for a few seconds - and then realised it did not have a VW badge, or was a Crafter - as I suspect that is where you will end up when you get back in the game with Harvey.

[@nathaliacarrera7848]

When will they bring this to the US!?! This floor plan is genius!

[@gw7579]

The closed shower was exceptionally clever! Great idea. How did you build it?

[@jacquelinesim9578]

J ai le modèle quasiment identique, le Familyvan de Campérêve. Superbe véhicule pour une famille. Qualité française 👍

[@benrichards399]

The only thing that i would change is the curtain petitions in the bedding areas. Sliding doors would be better imo.

[@alexanderpark5225]

Excellent presentation and really versatile van, you both did well even with the distraction of Harvey in the background.

[@arroyobaby38]

OH how I wish these were available in the US these prices are very reasonable!!!

[@lorrainecornwell6232]

Looks expensive (but I think they all are now, not helped by the silly prices of the van bases). Nice job though and caters well for the family I would think. Personally I would have added the option to remove or lift the bottom bunk to make a larger garage - just the right size for mountain bikes. The shower is great, don’t see why more compact vans are not using this option. Thanks for showing us around 😊

[@hollycross300]

The bottom bunk does do this and is fab. Also means if we need to use it, you can then sleep on the 5th bed (as only 4 of us). I would add a photo from the brochure, but can’t. There is a photo here www.harbourcreek.co.uk/listings/new-2021-dreamer-family-van-select-motorhome-by-rapido-rear-bunk-beds-jack-assisted-drop-down-bed-5-belted-seats-5-berth-140hp-auto-ref-0480/

[@jonathanflowers8354]

Thanks for another great video. I found it really useful that you say how tall you are - lets just say that anything that works for you will be fine for us! On that theme I'd find it really helpful if you could talk a bit more about the relative sizes of the vans you review. That van has great facilities but I'm left not really understanding the nippiness (and fuel efficiency) trade off...

Superb vehicle, I can’t understand why you’d buy a t6 California over this, I bet the costs aren’t too dissimilar either. Very clever layout

[@drysj]

That's a nice van😉

[@andybrining3090]

Another great review guys, thank you, but as mentioned below the payload is nowhere near enough for 5 people plus luggage plus all the usual camping paraphernalia plus a tankful of water etc. I doubt if SVTECH (or anyone else) could uprate it either as it doesn’t look like it’s on a maxi chassis. Other than that there were some clever ideas.

[@hoohoohoohoo]

SvTech can upgrade this, it has reinforced rear axle suspension as standard, and with 16" wheels and rear air suspension added I think 3850 or 4000kg is possible. Also these are available from Dreamer on the 4.25 Heavy if you prefer.

[@hollycross300]

It’s 501kg including driver, gas, water and fuel at 90%. Enough for us.

[@robertdon777]

£67K...gone up a bit since 2019 when they were about £54K!

[@lauralake3209]

Beautiful! Even as a single person, i can see buying a "family van" set up, as it would hold resale value better i suspect. Particularily with the bunk space in the back being so versatile. Now, if only North American makers would embrace this, as opposed to the giant RVs that lumber across the continent
