£100k 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it’s a nice layout but the choice of interior colours is truly awful

@clarenelmes3356 3 жыл бұрын

We absolutely love our Rhales conversion. Built to our design and layout, we've been full time in it for 2 years from Europe's most northerly point in Norway to the south of Portugal. There isn't a single thing we would change, plenty of storage and it still looks like new. The build quality is amazing, no rattles or sqeeks, just the best vans ever.

Can I ask Claire, how do you get on with charging leisure batteries, do you need to hook up on a site every few days, asking as I'm looking at full time van life and wondered how you guys get on with it. Thinking high powered fridge etc. Thanks

@TeamNumpty72 3 жыл бұрын

@@sontaranlee3369 I'm Clare's other half. We didn't use a single campsite for two years. The solar was more than enough through Europe and a sunny Scandinavia. The fridge we have is very efficient (Dometic CRX65). We have a beefy B2B charger fitted too so can charge the leisure batteries pretty quickly whilst driving. One of the few things we would change of building now would be lithium instead of AGM batteries. It would save us about 100kg (as we went for a couple of 220Ah monsters).

@clarenelmes3356 3 жыл бұрын

We are totally self sufficient for a week, with the limiting factor being water. We have 330w solar and 420ah of batteries with a 60ah b2b charger. We run a waeco crx65 fridge and lots of electronics no problem. We very rarely hook up to ehu and don't stay on campsites and only use Aires occasionally. We also have a compost toilet which is much easier.

@sontaranlee3369 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you both, it's great to here how you do it. I'm in the UK, will be working away from the van, 99% of the time on my own and needs to be a daily vehicle. For this reason I'll start with the VW coast / Ocean, MP or conversion suited for my needs. Bigger would give me a bit more comfort, prefer wild side, enjoy spearfishing, foraging so sites aren't for me, however have limited knowledge of leisure batteries and running the fridge etc, this is a great help. Solar speaks for its self, again need to properly chat to firms about what's right for me. Whilst I'm about to properly start looking, I'm thinking of waiting for 2021 and being able to visit the shows to see everything under one roof, for now car life beckons 😭😂😁 Adventure begins 👍

Hi Shaun, thanks for showing us around. Nice presentation and talk through. I thought the kitchen has some clever solutions and I hadn’t heard of a diesel hob before, I liked that! As a family of 5 using a camper van, we see a couple of downsides. The first being one which many conversions suffer with and one which we have mentioned many times on our KZfaq Channel. That is the rear travelling seats being more akin to motorhome/caravan style seats which are not as comfortable/supportive or adjustable as automotive seats. For example, ‘Clever’ Vans (amongst others) offer Recaro seats, and for long distance travelling and touring this is very important if you want contented passengers! The other issue with this layout is the drop down bed. As nice as it is, it means the kids will usually go to bed first and sleep in it and the parents are left with the smaller one underneath and little head room to chill out below. Payload is also important and worth considering if you need to keep it less than 3500kg (?). It’s a cool looking van however. How competitive is the price against the GrandCalifornia 600 or the Ford Nugget Plus (our choice). Enjoying the content, thanks again, Jordan.

@CaliCamperFamily 3 жыл бұрын

Pierre D this is exactly my frustration. I spent over an hour looking at Benimar today, going through and downloading all their brochures as they proudly announce 5 belted seats, and....no explanation as to how the 5th seat is used. We visited an Italian brand called Giotti Line last week and even the dealer couldn’t explain how it worked properly, as sideways seats are no longer allowed for travelling. We are editing a video for our channel about this very issue. I think the manufacturers either don’t care or are embarrassed to show them in use. We have a Cali and are moving to a Nugget; these both offer comfortable travel seats...

Great use of space and the lift bed is epic!! Very professionally finished but personally I feel the van has absolutely no character and a very clinical finish with the glossy white cabinetry. Not for me (would never be able to afford this anyway) but functional and practical use of space for a family. Much prefer most of the DIY builds i've seen on here but 'each to their own'.

This is so perfect for us, the only changes for me would he 3 seats at front with double swivel which also needs to become a single bed in some way and the toilet/shower area in the back would be the size of the garage as well so massive wet room for changing out of wetsuits etc etc

100% agree, most van conversions here on YT start out as spacious empty shells and end up being cramped and claustrophobic sardine cans. This on the other hand is what happens when you prioritise space, light and room to breathe without sacrificing amenities. Very nice indeed, thanks for sharing!
