The Bürstner Lyseo 644G motorhome is unique, it has a layout I have never seen before. There is a large rear lounge with a drop down bed. Burstner has done the 644G for a number of years and in previous incarnations you can see it on this channel, however the 2021 version is really thinking outside of the box!
Enough of my opinions, what do you think?

Loving that thing at the back . . . A perfect Day Bed . . Then turns into a perfect sleeping area for anyone with young children . . You don’t have to dismantle anything to eat, sleep, sit, or lounge . . Beautiful neutral colours . . Just perfect 🤩

I love the layout in the front with the separate shower and toilet - love it! (yes, a bit higher shower floor would be good. I do like love the round seating area. I guess we would not use it so much with just the two of us. So I would dig a bigger stationary bed in the back and a smaller seating area (on each side and open in back), with easy access to the bed. Could be cool with a drop down single bed. Or you just make up the seating area into a bed if needed. Overall...brilliant layout. Love the fridge!! And the gas stove top with 3 burners. Fab. And the storage space, clothing area and the storage in the floor!

I agree with other commenters. This is a much more roomy design, with better sight-lines too. Kudos for your attempt at the sleeping arrangements. It appears that, under careful conditions, there can be 2 adults on the dining table (so to speak), 2 adults or 3 children on the canopy drop-down, and one more child in the rumble seat bed---or perhaps a beloved Golden Retriever on the rear bed, as long as the dog knew how to get down without launching into the kitchen at 5 feet in the air. Strategic canopy placement ought to allow for egress of the dog from the rear bed by romping over the parents slumbering on the dining table. Should this caravan be for less than a party of 5+1 (such as yourself), the variety and ambience of sleeping arrangements are practically unlimited!

Thanks Alan, Very interesting! Like you, I was excited about the rear lounge/garage, seems like the perfect set up. If I was a single lady with a dog and a bicycle I’d be thrilled with this, and wouldn’t need the drop down bed, perhaps that would give more weight for things like ebikes, which are about 23kg each 😜

The interior is light and airy. The bathroom is where it should be for easy access lol Dbl drained shower is nice. Peanut Butter color tones add to the over-all feeling of elbow room. The bed in the back sort of throws off the ascetic look/feel. Narrow garage due to lounge design. Family oriented.:)

Having spent years driving a Hymer 534 rear lounge,having a bed that doesn't use up living space its good to see manufactories bringing the idea back.Yes the Eura Mobile 650 is a better system buy you only get that with Integrated motorhomes.Can use lounge while partner can be in bed more space to use

Hymer had a vehicle with a similar Layout with the garage and sitting area and bathroom. But the bed lift down over the driver seat. We tested it 3 years ago for a trip around Sweden. I found the bed system first really cool, but we couldn’t leave the ladder plus bedding on top. So you need to put down every day your bedding beforsten lifting up your bed.

Thanks Alan. I prefer the 680G. The face to face lounge just behind driver's seat means that the front seats can be used as part of the lounge area. With this one it feels a bit cut off. Maybe a question of taste. If this were built on the Crafter MAN 4x4 or a sprinter 4x4 we'd already have one on order 😅

Would be very interested to see more of this unusual layout. We are searching for a rear lounge with garage motorhome. We have elec bikes so need a garage and as caravan owners we really can't get along with just swivelling your captains chair around or sitting upright on a dinette type seat in the evening. However we are looking for a short van as well. Well done. Keep up the good work

There are not many rear lounges with garages Lynda. This might be suitable for you : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y86XntSHntvenIU.html or kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK1xhdKE27CUf3U.html - however they are both much more expensive!

@1Haitchjay 3 жыл бұрын

In theory, love the design of the bed as means you can sleep lengthways. Not sure how practical it would be in use though. As much as I like being able to shut off the cab, it becomes wasted space once you’ve arrived. Being able to turn the seats and use them has always been a draw for me. However, this design has certainly got me thinking.

I have seen this done with expedition type motorhomes, it is a great idea. In this case it looks like you have to take down the backrest cushions for the lounge first which is a bit of a pointless faff. If I had the money for that I’d save up a bit more and get a Wingamm Brownie instead.

Think this layout if great. Definitely needs a deeper shower tray. Option to turn bathroom into a large(r) separate room works really well. Assuming bed can be fixed in a position so that cushions can remain ‘unscattered’ then with the garage ticks many boxes. Still think Hymer 534 with the motorised rear seat was probably the best layout for a small Motorhome.

@@VanlifewithAlan I'm in Kentucky. She had a very interesting story. Our dog warden spent weeks trying to trap her. He finally got her and at the shelter, she stayed huddled in the corner of her run. She would not make eye contact. We put her in foster but she was not thriving. I had rehabed several feral dogs and had a wild-caught Carolina dog and a bred Carolina so I took her on. I thought at that time she was a Carolina dog mixed with something based on her primitive behaviors. A friend of mine that researched primitive dogs and pariah dogs saw her pics and said that is a NGSD! She hooked me up with an expert who confirmed she was indeed a NGSD. I was blown away. How did she wind up at the lake in Kentucky? We learned there was a breeder in Ohio so our best guess was she got away from someone that could not handle her. There were only about 200 of these dogs in the states at that time. Ezzy showed no aggression to my dogs. She was much better with other dogs than she was with people. She often looked at me like I had 5 heads. LOL! She was extremely intelligent and had problem-solving skills. She would compartmentalize. Inside was mine, outside was hers. If she saw a cat outside, she would kill it in seconds flat. But she never once bothered my house cats. I never got to touch her when she was outside, not even beep her nose. Inside I could handle her, bathe her, cut her nails. She would go out either door but would only come back inside through the back door. She took me on such a journey of wonder, sometimes frustration, and education. She was indeed challenging and could be difficult but I would do it all over again. She was very unique and very loved. I am so sorry you are facing a sad situation. It is never easy.

I like the novel layout but I’m not a fan of a rear lounge. If you are going to have one then I’d personally prefer the bed to be able to be lowered without having to move all the cushions first. Not sure what the child size bed in the back was about, other than the creation of a garage but with the rear window sited like it was it made me think of the red light district in Amsterdam, but for kids! Eeeeek! 😱😱
