- In this Motorhome Video we'll be talking you through our picks if we were to go and do solo van life full time.
A newish Swift & an oldish Eura Mobil. There are pro's & con's to each of these coach built vans and both are priced at very different ends of the market.
Let us know in the comments your favourite motor caravan & we hope to see you again in the next one!

I would have the eura mobil. 23 years still looks good . No desperation. 😊
👍
The older van speaks volumes over the new one really.. Im surprised you don't retail older vans like that one
We do sometimes Karl 😃
I do enjoy your reviews on older mobile homes they are have a sense of quality not seen in more modern camper vans and mobile homes
Thanks a lot, guys. Just shared this video, and she's taken my front door key off me. Will be in to see you tomorrow for a van 😂😂😂
Our pleasure!😃
Like the older van, I could live in that.
Good choice 😃
Depends on your budget ,if your like me easily satisfied, i just need a bed ,shower ,small fridge ,cooker , tv to play my games on 😂 but i like u shape lounges ✌️
Great 👍
I prefer the older one as it has a separate shower, so I am with Kev. I have a 2003 Autotrail Cheyenne, done 54,000 miles and is in really good order throughout. Just love her.
Great choice Lyn 😃
Love the older vans layout interior is dated but totally livable more so then the newer van and like the man said if you got 50 k to spend use 20 and get a apartment in Spain with the rest.
Third time watching , trying to catch the heating system for winter ...am I missing it or does the old camper not have heating?
I'm older and prefer older to newer. The storage is excellent as is the quality... Just what I'd need.
I`ve seen this Eura Mobil twice now. I want it!
😃
the older van, The quality of the furniture is way better than the newer vans
Yes Tom they don't make them like they used to 👍
Hello 👋 guys I must say I love the older van's best. Thank you boys for another informative video. Rob from Wales 🙏
Hi brotherrob yes the old vans are great! and thanks for watching 😃
That old van is a lovely van. As long as it passed the MOT etc and rust wasn’t an issue then the old one all day long.
Hi Kevin. All checks are made and a mot nothing goes a miss 😃
@@TheMotorhomeMan I just bought a Jag or I would have had it.
That 2001 van is growing on me.
👍
I have a 22 year old bessacarr E435 I've had it 3 years and I love it, I do prefer the u shape lounge though, but mine is comfortable and in really good condition, I love it 🤗☺️
Glad you enjoy it they are a great van Demo 👍
Microwave/ breadbin you can put a little air fryer in the older van instead. Love the compressor fridge and the little bin hidden in the worktop
😃
23 year old . Old is gold
It sure is Graham 😃
The older camper van all the way the interior so nice real wood
Yes made very well Les 👍
You lucky lucky men but to really compare them you need to do a road trip to Spain or Italy and just for a full comparison, I'll bring our CV. The older van looks great but there are more and more restrictions re emissions in European Cities. Cheers K.
Well Jason on this occasion Kevin's van wins it for me, ive seen this van a couple of time & im sure you said you were going to move it on, are keeping this great looking van 😊great video thanks for sharing 😊
Hi Lee yes Kev's van is great! And thanks for watching again 👍
The older van no computers or dpf they just keep going i would use the money saved for touring
I also think that people who change new vans regularly with very little mileage is just a status symbol Weather new or 23 years old they still do the same thing
👍
Another good video 👍👍👏👏
Thanks again! Jimmy 😃
iv bought newer as its less worry over the engine and suspension. but it all depends on your budget and if you want to live full time or just holidays , if I was buying just for holidays I would of bought older one
Good video, plenty to love about the older one (trust Kev to choose well). Continuing the philosophical discussion - how old is old? When do you start to see issues with rust, motor reliability, appliance issues, damp, parts availability? (All depends on how it was used, of course, but generally - how old is old?)
Hi Ian we normally say 20 yrs plus 👍
Bank manager in cupboard was the midland bank. , every day's a challenge working with you Jason 👍🤣 old one. if I spent £50k on a vehicle I'd be scared to leave it in a car park for an hour
Always MrGrumpy 😂
I’m surprised you’ve still got that older van as it got a lot to offer for the price. Parts will still be available for years to come as it’s based on a fleet vehicle that are still in everyday use. The newer van is nice but won’t be when it gets to the same age . It will suffer from dpf issues and injectors it will have assorts of problems especially if there’s lack of maintenance . The newer van won’t stick full time living and things will deteriorate quicker with full time living.
The old van for me 👍👍
Good choice Steven 👍
Bachman turner overdrive :) ps great video as always men.:)
Yes! Thank you! 👍
I preferred the older motorhome, everything in the right place 👍
👍
Brilliant guys , I'm going for the "bomb proof" 2.8 and the flat in Spain 🤣
😂
That eura mobil is superb
I prefer the older van Mary from South end😊
😃
Bachman-Turner overdrive for the song, love Kev's van
Thanks JJ 😃
You can’t beat older vans they are built better and stronger
They sure are Gordon, thanks for watching 😃
You two are priceless. I own an older van and love her. Sadly I find the steps to the upper cab are far too steep and haven’t managed to purchase a set with a more decent angle.
👍
Another great and informative video 👍🏼 I have a few questions; how do cassette toilets work? What are the pro/cons on automatic vs manual transmission, and finally what do you mean by waste water tank? Thanks guys.
I'll go with the old one.
Good choice 👍
Give me the 23 year old m/h anytime .... 2.8 ltr as Kev say`s bullet proof ...
Kev knows his stuff Tony 👍
The great Bachman turner overdrive
👍
BTO Bachman turner overdrive is the band
👍
Brilliant vlog, Kev I’d buy your van 😂
Maybe one day Merv 😃
I would takes kevs any day it's much nicer in every way
It sure is 👍
I'd like to see Kevs van on a ramp...I'll bet the underside tells a different story. Seen a few on my mates ramp with stunning bodywork but the chasis is as rotten as apear with corrosion everywhere.
What size is the water tank in each van? I feel modern vans are getting larger tanks each year. That old van would suit me perfectly.
Kev is head and shoulders above Jason (for once).
The old van is a massively better living space but my main concern would be possible water ingres & damp.
A third alternative would be to spend the £50,000 on a newer version of the Kevmobile.
😂
Older van for me but I'd have to do something about th woodwork. Maybe paint over it. To dark for me
Yes a lick of paint to your style and all good Matthew 😃
i think i like the old van - free up a few quid
👍
Very beautiful. Love it. What is your name, dear man ?❤❤❤❤
Interesting challenge chaps! How long is each van? How about a similar challenge based upon a certain van length ie the length of a typical drive at home. Our drove is 6m which is going to limit our options!
I think that a 6m van is the perfect length. Big enough to have a fair bit of space inside but small enough to go into cities. Ferry prices tend to shoot up once you get above 6m.
I would miss a garage in the back in both models, I have to say.
😐
Lovely old van as said live in better engine too no add blue unreliable
Absolutely 👍
What is the length and width of the 2 vans, the newer looks narrower, easier driving through road furniture & traffic.
Bachmann Turner Overdrive
👍
I’d buy the old van and do it up with the rest of the money I had left over
Great plan bilbp41 👍
Eura say in their brochure decades of use... think you've proved their point
They keep to their word! Thanks for watching Mark 👍
clean air zones spoil it for the older one
👍
Old one absolutely smashing 🫡 !!! Much better than new ;)
It sure is Greg 💪
2,8 best eng
👍
Bachman Turner Overdrive - BBBBBBBBBBaby you ain't seen nothin' yet
Got that song in my head now!! 😂
I'd love an older motorhome with an auto box...alas, they're like hen's teeth at a reasonable price. We have a Bongo presently, but one day, one day...
one day one day 👍
Older one of the two ,like kev 😂 🙌
😃
No need to Google.....Bachman Turner Overdrive.
😃
Both beautiful vans but not everyone has 50k to spend there are some older bargains to be had especially if u have some basic mechanical knowledge
Yes agree with you UOO303T, Thanks for watching 👍
You ain't seen nothing yet , Bachman Turner Overdrive .
I prefer the older van .
😂👍
Bachmann Turner Overdrive.......you ain't seen nothing yet ...ba...ba...baby you ain't seen nothing yet.
😃
Set Kevin a challenge? Send him home 😅
😂
We are looking for a motorhome struggling to find one for 15k
Depends on what your looking for Mocha, Always check vans for damp etc even newish ones 👍
You don’t wanna sell me that old van. I have one to px. Not even joking. Let me know
👍
@@TheMotorhomeMan does this mean you want to sell me the van ?? lol.
@@TheMotorhomeMan have you still got the van to sell ? Or just for the video ?? Thank you
Here's a challenge for Kev. Ask him to stand in a barrel and piss in the corner ! 😄
😂
Why’s he got one eye closed ?
👍
I'd take the older van. What has happened to layouts? They seem far less practical these days.
Good choice 👍
