Not sure if this is the ultimate camper, but it is the ultimate VW review for sure. Thomas should ask VW to pay him as this is better than any of tv ads for this van.

@LopebeHaab Ай бұрын

I expected a lot from the final version, but I was disappointed. I see that VW has simply gone backwards in several solutions: - The table hides behind the mattress, which takes up luggage space. Why couldn't they keep the existing side door solution? - Detachable seat headrests, in the T6.1 they are simply hidden and this solution is easy to use and very practical. - No blinds on the front window of the car. The curtains take up the luggage space and, to be honest, I thought that this version would finally have blinds on the driver's and passenger's side doors too. - Only one gas burner in the stove, one too few. In the concept version, the solution with two different power sources was really interesting. - Narrower lower bed, it was 114x195 cm and now it is 106x198 cm. That is, the bed is as much as 8 cm narrower. - The car itself is also longer - it is 517.3 cm long, while it was 490.4 cm long, which is a total of 27 cm longer. Currently, with the T6.1, when we mount a bike rack on the rear door, it can be difficult to fit into the outline of the parking space. - Side wardrobe opens only on one side, not on both sides and with a mirror as in the T6.1. - Connection for refilling water inside the car. It is more convenient to refill water without opening the rear door. Additionally, the concept had better solutions: - Drawers in the kitchen, which simply had more (cutlery, cups, spices, plates) and opened on both sides. I also don't know why a curtain for the drawers is needed. I think it is unnecessary and this design solution has been present since previous versions of the California. This is where Marco Polo is better thought out. - The power and USB connections located under the stove were more accessible and not hidden at the back, as it is now. - It's also a pity that the idea of a retractable shower hose was not used. Now the Ford Nugget has such a solution, with the option of heating water. - When it comes to the fridge, the idea of it being an openwork drawer is completely illogical. Every time it opens, all the accumulated cold will escape from it. As a result, more energy will be needed to cool the fridge again to the set temperature. - No electric grill or lamp by the side doors. Personally, I still miss: - solar panels on the roof, - a self-folding tent, - factory-installed, sliding mosquito nets on side doors (above solutions can be seen in the new version of Ford Nugget) - Window blinds with material that reflects sunlight, which will additionally reduce the temperature inside the car during hot weather. - AC, so far, no car of this type has introduced parking (with the engine off) air conditioning, which is a pity. - and at least one plastic window in the roof tent, for rainy days. To sum up, although I see the advantages of the new version, there is still a lot to do. And all the VW need to do is just to listen to user opinions.

@amberjackrtw7322 Ай бұрын

Totally agree with everything you said. The only thing I wish my T6.1 had is an electronic hand break, and hot water tap ( l'm not sure if the T7 has got it). Otherwise my T6.1 4motion is a keeper, it's an instant classic now! No desire to „upgrade" it from what I see.

AC off...buy the Plugin, which has AC in off Mode like any EV, too. Use this very often in Passat GTE and our Multivan eHybrid.

@vecernicek2 21 күн бұрын

Totally agreed. I would just add that especially the Beach version is a complete disappointment. It used to be a good choice for someone who needs a practical daily van and also a basic camper. Now it's not a good van, because of the drawer that takes up most of the trunk and the downstairs bed is just horrendous, with the inconvenient folding and middle backrest in the way of legs. So not a good camper either. I am pretty sure this will be a tough sell. Whoever approved that needs to find something else they're good at. Yeah, and I was excited about the plug-in hybrid camper because of the large hybrid battery would be great for camping. But they couldn't make that work either. Because of warranty issues? Oh my. So, waiting for the next gen Nugget.

I'm glad to own a T6.1 California Ocean 4Motion!! I wouldn't change for no money (maybe only without kids) Why? - There is way more storage space (under the rear-seats and the kitchen) in the T6.1 - It's much easier and quicker to change for the bed downstears - It's way easier to shade the windows in the T6.1, especially for the front window - We often use both gas-burners. The T7 only has one - There is a inside-table in the T6.1 that is always ready What I don't understand with the new one: - isn't the weight a problem with the hybrid version (if you need 4x4)? - the argument of the high-voltage battery for camping mode doesn't make much sense for me... Maybe just a cost-optimizaton for VW to not add additional control-units (?) For sure the T6.1 has some things that could be better as well. But the T7 is a step back from my point of view!

Fascinating just how good camper vans have become, though at a price certainly for the fully specced Ocean. On deciding whether to get the Beach or the Ocean, it seems to me the key decision is whether you are going to do much cooking or DIY food. If you are going to eat out you might as well get the Beach for the extra interior space and price saving. I think my camping days are over so I would probably spend the €100k on something else.

@Milen4u Ай бұрын

The Ford F150 and other eclectic vehicles were marketed with the V2L as one of their USP. "Power your home in a blackout" and things like that. So I think the explanation with the warranty is not plausible. More likely the whole hybrid system is not engineered for such applications, or they have to change many parts in order to make it so, which wouldn't be cost effective. Hence 2 more lumps of lead acid batteries.

And the interior table of the OCEAN?

@stephenrussell6074 Ай бұрын

It’s got no storage compared to the T6.1 Ocean. I think the bonnet must be longer. The bed has less space between the front seats.

@janf73 Ай бұрын

Thomas tried to let it look good. Did he ever see the T6.1? The most nice items are already in the T6.1. But this is not good enough to go camping off grid with 4 persons when the weather isn't good. Missing storage, 2 burners in the kitchen, a big table inside,... The good new thing: removable canopy. Stuppid things: outside table at the kitchen/sliding door, filling water in the tailgate, ac connection and 2nd batterie as an option,...

This guys clearly never really went anywhere off grid, i guess we will keep our t6.1 forever

Let's not forget that it is much more expensive than a Camper Van, which is only 23 cm longer ( 540 cm) , but which has: toilet, shower, normal bed and bed in the roof !

@josefv8708 Ай бұрын

...and is not usable all the year like such a van as daily car, too...depends what you want to own.

Nice t-shirt by the way 😂 i'm happy with T6 - The T7 looks great from the outside but the inside is meh 🤷‍♂ I will see the van soon in Puerto Alcaidesa or in Tarifa where all camper vans end up, from classic models to the latest one. All end up here. 😉

Where is the shower curtain or enclosure? What about a compost toilet?

Thomas I am in America. How can I get me one of these? My wife and I are splitting after 29 years! I would like to have no financial stress and buy one of these to live in for a while. How can I get to America? These are perfect!

Dear Thomas, one curiosity question? Where did you record the review? Was there any place between Marbella and Ronda?

@haanjamiis 29 күн бұрын

Combining words "white, candy and van" is a bold move from VW.

@jonmortermusic Ай бұрын

Great video Thomas, but I can't help thinking these vehicles are a bit of a practical downgrade to the T6.1 California range. The internal hob on the 6.1 Beach is genius, on this Multivan it has the useless kitchen where you have to open to tailgate, not at all practical if you want to stop off somewhere for a quick cup of tea! Coupled with the fact they are longer, so again less practical for parking, they seem to have taken something which wasn't broken, then 'fixed' it

That second car I would say is the best version, 5 seats and not that meaningless kitchen. But why not the same seat for the 5th seat, now it is way to much work to use the bed..
