    Here in the U.S., this would cost $200k and it would break down right after you left the dealer! I've seen Euro built campers made for 5' Truck beds but here in America we have 2 choices and they suck!

    It's nicer than my Winnebago Solis Pocket, and it costs less. And it has more - including a bathroom, which I lack.

    Vosotros no se que entendéis por amplitud pero claro, desde la línea de entrada a la base de la taza del bater, la base del del baño hace 2 cm., y desde la pared de la izquierda a la base de la taza un palmo. Así pues estamos en un espacio relativamente reducido.

    A sign of the times, sell it as high as possible while you can. The cost of living is exploding in UK and Europe.. there will be many more 2nd hand cheaper Campervans/motorhomes on the market in years to come when people need to cash in

      They seem to hold their value quite well . I occasionally check vw California vans etc and they always expensive by my standards. Maybe we all need higher wages 😂 lets face the British worker never complains unlike the french /german we just put up with being taken for a ride.

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  6 місяців тому +1

      I see a lot of people making claims like this but never seen it done in practice. Whereas we assume that a home build has 'free' labour, the parts themselves come to far more, never mind the cost of the base vehicle. Also it is not comparing like to like, the seven seater school bus will have been used extensively over the years whilst this base vehicle is new and comes theoretically with a guarantee.

    Crazy that 60 thousand euros considered good value. Dont get me wrong I am sure you are right in current market that is a good price. But it doesn’t reflect the wages ordinary people get or have left over after they paid their mortgage/rent and paid bills and food.

      In a vehicle like this they are built either into the side walls - or - more commonly - the fresh water tank is under the forward facing bench. The waste tank is nearly always attached to the undercarriage of the vehicle.

    The current market sucks! It's still too much money. If everyone quit buying these vans & RV's, the prices would go down to a more affordable range. But, as long as people still buy them, they'll figure we can still afford them if we want them bad enough, and prices WON'T go down.
