They're so popular because of their reasonably low price compared to other base vans and also the straight sides and roof meaning greater space inside and easier to fit out. If you look at the shape of a sprinter or crafter/MAN TGE for example, they are teardrop shaped to be more aerodynamic but this makes them smaller inside. The boxer/ducato also is wide enough to sleep transverse without modification, whereas the crafter/sprinter needs something adding to be able to do that (pop outs, fibreglass pods etc).
The Monza looks a serious contender for a Cali although the interior is a little too glitzy for my taste. I guess there is a table in the back; a bit inconvenient.
Interesting that they have gone with subtle changes to the same vans both have their positives 👍 Did Lowdown s have a Dethleffs VW Globetrail 600 DR on show?
I love this channel but the one thing that drives me mad is, if one of you is presenting please don’t chip in from behind the camera, just do an edit with a cut away if you don’t want to start again. It would be so much more professional.
Great video, thank you 😀👍
The Monza looks like a quality product. I can see my wife and I mooching about in one of those!
We were really impressed to be honest - and the new transit base vehicle looks really smart too.
I have to drive a boxer for work occasionally. We all try to avoid it where we can, why are they so popular for conversion?

Sorry yes I should. have covered that. Yes it is, stored on the back of the bench/bed.
I have that style of fridge (pull out drawer style) - whatever I want to get out is always underneath something else - I’d rather have shelves!
Nice looking vans but not sure about the windows 😂 🚽

Hi- at the moment, we only have Dethleffs campervans on the Fiat Ducato base. The VW models are currently estimated for mid 2025. I hope this helps! 😃
We can't wait to see a VW Globetrail 600 DR when they finally get here!
14:15 is she suggesting what I think?
😆
