A lot of van for not a lot of money really. Well fitted out. Ideal for a couple. I can’t imagine it’s that hard to drive and manoeuvre either. Keep it up Nick.
Another great video Nick. I love they way you present your videos in an informative and methodical manner. It’s obvious that you have done your home work on each model your present, just like the Yachts on Aquaholic. Keep up the good work.
Great review thanks. The beauty of the Autosleeper Kingham compared to virtually every other van conversion, is not only do you get a fixed double bed, but a proper lounge area at the front. Perfect for stretching out! A lot of van for the money.
I could live in this thing, if I had no wife and kids... 😂 Great class B for a long weekend. Or 6 months. Amazing layout for the size, really impressive. Cheers!
Awesome job again as always fella. I do like this one. I’m looking to build my own because I have a disability and I need a permanent bed set up and a toilet. But I must admit that does look a bit ideal for me too. Keep up the great work and have fun and stay safe 💋
For creative use of space check out the Rapido Dreamer XL campervan, it has the wardrobe swing into the shower space when not in use, it also has a door in the back as well as the front.
Oh dear, no appearance from Jacques or Maggie...are they both too bagged out from all that time on the bow of the Y85? LOL Don't tell me that Maggie and Jacques get car sick? 😜😜😜😂😂😂 This is a slick looking and packaged little RV...looks very comfy indeed.
A modern version of our motorhome from the Wilderness company in New Zealand on our first trip to Aotearoa. It did what we wanted it to do and was a very easy comfortable vehicle to drive etc.
This is exactly what I’d like for my UK photography adventures. Although, rather than a sofa style Seat. I’d prefer two smaller seats facing each other with a little laptop table between
I owned a Kingham for 18 months. Firstly the bed is tiny, not really big enough for 2 adults for more than a few nights. Plus the corner is cut off so even if ur just over 5ft ur legs hang out. The access to the under bed storage from the rear doors is frankly pathetic. And if uve got bedding and maybe something else on the bed its really hard to lift. The lpg tank is hopeless if ur off EHU in the winter. Gas will last about a week and then u can't get it anywhere. Build quality is average. German vans are way better. Its an ok van for 1. Or 2 for short trips in Nice weather. Its very cramped inside. These reviews are pointless if the reviewer hasn't used the van in real world conditions
I,m under the impression the cheaper vehicles ARE the best..........this one IS compact but has "everything"................and has great features ALL a person should want........x x x x
Quick look at the Autosleepers website says yes, it’s on a 3500kg basis. Has just under 400kg of payload. One driver and some fuel usually included in the base weight so that’s 400kg for passenger , luggage,food,etc, which is probably fine. You can probably get it ‘up plated’ to increase the payload but then you’ll need a C1 driving licence ( which you’ll have anyway if you passed in the U.K. before 1997). You’ll also pay more for things like toll roads in France if you have it up plated but does mean you can carry crates of wine and not worry about being pulled over onto a weighbridge!
Great to see a proper bathroom as opposed to the pop-up showers that some of the DIY vans end up with. I don't think it's ideal to cater to your hygiene needs in the same area that you cater your meals...
Very well outfitted for an extended road trip. Not sure about living in it full time though. But it's got a much better layout than most other vans of similar size. Thanks for posting this video.
I'm converting a Citroen Relay (same base van as this) at home on the driveway. It'll not be quite as nice as this but I hope by the end it's a lot cheaper!
Nice van for the price. A lot of nice design and kit onboard.. It seams a pity that the vans always age quite badly, though that one would age quite well I think.
It's all nicely done, no doubt. Personally I would prefer to buy a Fiat Ducato 180 at the current actual price of 21K GBP (after discount), which would leave me with a budget of 45K GBP for the interior and accessories. But not everyone wants a DIY project, which is where companies like Kingham come in.
Having watched this channel and aquaholic I am wondering what's the best bang for your buck? £100,000 boat or RV? My take is better boat but higher running costs or worse RV much cheaper year on year costs. I cant decide.
Exterior Front end & Dash are identical to the USA 🇺🇸 Dodge Promaster. Makes sense since Fiat owns Chrysler Dodge. Geez Sir Nick, u keep a busy schedule on land & sea 👍
I'm not so overkeen on the shower in these types of motor homes, the water sprays everywhere and if someone needs to use the toilet after you have taken a shower, it all has to be dried first, not very practical.
Hello! May I ask an important question: When we all move over to electric vehicles will all these motorhomes become redundant? It would be a lot of money to spend for the government to say they are now illegal
Minimalist in design. The shower and toilet and especially sink,very small in diameter. I will have it designed a bit different. Thinking that will be like my home on a permanent basis.
Nearly bought one of these but there's no lounge really wouldn't swap my swift kontiki for anything now so much better, bed to small but Automatic can't beat it
Beware water tanks underslung and the size of thimbles! Typical AS. Nice build quality on them, but less than practical unless you are happy to stay only on sites.

What a great little unit for a weekend getaway.
Wow and compact but stunning.. Looking great Nick Sir... Dashing...
You're very kind :)
@@MOTAHOLIC It's my pleasure 😊 Nick Sir... I daily waits for your videos.. And enjoy every bit of it..
Great weekend get away, well designed lost of thought gone in to the space and not a bad price for a motorhome of that quality
For the size its very nice. Thank you Nick.
My pleasure!
Love this van design, small luxury motor home in a manageable size.
I could live in this thing, if I had no wife and kids... 😂 Great class B for a long weekend. Or 6 months. Amazing layout for the size, really impressive. Cheers!
Get a divorce ;)
@@bertramlefarge69 💯
Hi Nick. A compact affordable van conversion. Smart looking too, nice colour. Great tour thanks 😊
My pleasure!
Awesome job again as always fella. I do like this one. I’m looking to build my own because I have a disability and I need a permanent bed set up and a toilet. But I must admit that does look a bit ideal for me too. Keep up the great work and have fun and stay safe 💋
Thats a really nice Motorcaravan. Particularly like the colours schemes they have uses
Thanks Nick, a great tour of this great little Motorhome, keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
These are fun because they REALLY have to be creative to fit everything in. Like a small boat.
For creative use of space check out the Rapido Dreamer XL campervan, it has the wardrobe swing into the shower space when not in use, it also has a door in the back as well as the front.
I didnt think there could be so much I'm such a small space & VERY nice too. Thanks Nick.
My pleasure!
Oh dear, no appearance from Jacques or Maggie...are they both too bagged out from all that time on the bow of the Y85? LOL
Don't tell me that Maggie and Jacques get car sick? 😜😜😜😂😂😂
This is a slick looking and packaged little RV...looks very comfy indeed.
Wow, nice for such a small area, has everything you need including a bathroom!
Love it. Plenty of storage. Colour scheme is perfect. Easy to drive. What more could you ask for.
Yes indeed!
We always enjoy your. Videos...
Congratulations
..God BlessYou..

Nice one Nick, a pleasure to watch!
Many thanks!
I really love this one. Oh it's so beautiful. Thank you.
Very nice little van,
Thanks for sharing 😎
Thanks for watching!
It looks very neat and comfortable 👍
Just found this channel! Had no idea you did this as well! Stop tempting me with all these awesome toys!
Welcome aboard!
Rather nice and very affordable. Very nice presentation Nick.
Thanks!
I’d love to own one of these! Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching!
Just found this channel after watching your yatch tours
Awesome, welcome aboard! :)
Nice looking RV.
Very nice that one and UK friendly too 👍
Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Look at Nick flexing his light on/off skills from all those years in boating!
I have a black belt in it! 😄
Absolutely Beautiful!!!
Nick key unique auto sleeper feature is using vans with the standard window cut outs. Not double glazed but potentially more secure
I owned a Kingham for 18 months.
Firstly the bed is tiny, not really big enough for 2 adults for more than a few nights. Plus the corner is cut off so even if ur just over 5ft ur legs hang out.

We've had our Kingham for 15 months. I'm over 6ft and the bed is fine for us. No issues with going away for 3 weeks in it at all. 🙂
Like the kitchen set up , funny how you always find a space for a " bar " area 😀
Been looking around for a new motorhome think this could be a contender
I love that... its small easy to drive and blue... wish it was cheaper... Also i would prefer a smaller bed and shower cabin insted of the opposite.
Love the modern layout. Query. Mini Bar in a motor vehicle? Drinking & Driving? Wild.
I,m under the impression the cheaper vehicles ARE the best..........this one IS compact but has "everything"................and has great features ALL a person should want........x x x x
Nice vid, tour was a bit brief. Reasonably well-equipped, although the wet bath/toilet was WAY TOO SMALL!
Nice van, just not for me.
Yes, the shower should have been bigger and a pull-down bed which would be normally vertical against the wall.
I'm guessing standard driving licence for this? Love it.
I think so, yes.
Quick look at the Autosleepers website says yes, it’s on a 3500kg basis. Has just under 400kg of payload. One driver and some fuel usually included in the base weight so that’s 400kg for passenger , luggage,food,etc, which is probably fine.

You’ll also pay more for things like toll roads in France if you have it up plated but does mean you can carry crates of wine and not worry about being pulled over onto a weighbridge!
Not a big fan of Vans with only 2 belted seats. Adding even only one extra seat adds enormously to the flexibility of the van.
Fabulous as always Nick thanks 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
You are doing awesome job. Motorhome is true love.
Ps: your wrist watch is very good.
Thank you!
Love it. But is the space above the freezer part of the freezer. If not need to be.
Great to see a proper bathroom as opposed to the pop-up showers that some of the DIY vans end up with. I don't think it's ideal to cater to your hygiene needs in the same area that you cater your meals...
As a disabled person, this van would be considered but I would need a bigger washroom. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Awesome
I can't believe I just found your "terrestrial" channel..... I love it almost as much as Aquaholic!!
Welcome aboard! 🙂
Very very nice sweet 👍🏽👏🥰 like this car 🚙
Like this too great job Nick
Thank you! 🙂
no day heads, no galley or even a saloon ...oh no , nice video love the channel, cheers..
I would like this vehicle
Very nice indeed
Very well outfitted for an extended road trip. Not sure about living in it full time though. But it's got a much better layout than most other vans of similar size. Thanks for posting this video.
To each his own! No one told you to live in it fool!
I think it would be better with a vertical bed which pulls down, so you have more space and a slightly larger shower room, as it's a bit cramped.
Yep the gypo's would love this one
I really like this camper 👌
This is great when you are traveling long distance and do not want to stay at a hotel. Saves you loads of money....
I'm converting a Citroen Relay (same base van as this) at home on the driveway. It'll not be quite as nice as this but I hope by the end it's a lot cheaper!
Best of luck!
I have an idea from aquaholic of sailing to France and touring the coast. A ferry is still sailing and this is really well appointed.
I don’t understand - where’s the yacht?! Another great channel for me to follow - cheers 😀
Welcome aboard!
Nice van for the price. A lot of nice design and kit onboard.. It seams a pity that the vans always age quite badly, though that one would age quite well I think.

Truly amazing insight , how long did it take you to come up with it ?
Is there a nook or something by the bed to put your glasses and phone?
FANTASTIC!!!
This is what I’ve been looking for. Can’t find American made. Michigan 🤗
Having watched this channel and aquaholic I am wondering what's the best bang for your buck? £100,000 boat or RV? My take is better boat but higher running costs or worse RV much cheaper year on year costs. I cant decide.
Hello Nick.
Love it👍😁
Exterior Front end & Dash are identical to the USA 🇺🇸 Dodge Promaster. Makes sense since Fiat owns Chrysler Dodge. Geez Sir Nick, u keep a busy schedule on land & sea 👍
I'm not so overkeen on the shower in these types of motor homes, the water sprays everywhere and if someone needs to use the toilet after you have taken a shower, it all has to be dried first, not very practical.
For the the size I am quite surprised it didn’t put the shower outside
Nick you forgot to show the tall cupboard!
Why don't you mention the length?
We’ve been looking at motor homes and personally I’m not so keen on the van conversions. It does look well executed though 👍
Shut up!
I would swap that fridge and wardrobe positions to get a bigger fridge
You did not show the fridge or the wardrobe or how the shower operates over the toilet ? Cheers
Did I miss the TV?
Hello! May I ask an important question: When we all move over to electric vehicles will all these motorhomes become redundant? It would be a lot of money to spend for the government to say they are now illegal
I shouldn't worry too much, unlikely to happen in our lifetime 🙂
What was that bathroom about 18” wide?
Bellissima
Hi, do both rear doors open?
Minimalist in design. The shower and toilet and especially sink,very small in diameter. I will have it designed a bit different. Thinking that will be like my home on a permanent basis.
Nearly bought one of these but there's no lounge really wouldn't swap my swift kontiki for anything now so much better, bed to small but Automatic can't beat it
Is this available in the US?
Does it have a heater ?
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Beware water tanks underslung and the size of thimbles! Typical AS. Nice build quality on them, but less than practical unless you are happy to stay only on sites.
Shut up "Karen"
So frustrating.... Why do all these equivalent vans cost almost double this in the US.... ?
Where can I buy this ?
Only one bed and one passenger seat. Someone has got it wrong here. Good luck to you
You would think there would be a tv,for £66,000!nice van though.
A brand new TV was under the bed in our Kingham!
How much 4*4 , driver Left, with condition
More great content Sir Nick!
You're very kind :)
66k just seems excessive. The manufacturer's must be making 30% margin on these. It's lovely but 66k?
First
Such a nice motor home. You sure do get alot of 'car' for the money!
You sure are!
