Another great review Peter. Thank you. I wonder whether this £59K campervan is hailing a return to more sensible pricing in the campervan market? Targeting a 'van specifically at the UK market suggests european manufacturers may be struggling to sustain the record levels of sales they enjoyed during the covid / staycation era? Certainly, the average £80k+ prices are proving to be horrendously prohibitive to many in these inflationary times. Can we look forward to the return to more sensibly priced vehicles appearing in the coming months? I hope so.

@MotorhomeCampervan Жыл бұрын

Sadly, I think it's just a reflection of Rimor's growing success in the UK. More sensible pricing definitely needed elsewhere but I can't see that happening with current energy costs...

Excellent review, and van well worth considering if you want a new 6m van on a budget. The diesel heating is a big plus as LPG is getting harder to find. LPG pumps have been getting much fewer in the three years since I bought my Auto Sleeper van...

Hi Peter, Debbie here, fantastic honest review as always. A nice looking van but tbh, it does look a bit cheap on the inside, and you really do need the options that that one has, which does increase the price a lot. Still a good van to put your own touches on, We have ordered a Consort Reef S2, have you heard of or reviewed them, if so, what do you think of them ? x x

Good review as usual Peter, so you wake up with perfect hair Eh😂😂 We looked at the 45 before ordering a CV40, main things we didn't like were lack of roof vents, black fixings on the rear door panels, seat material, stainless fruit bowl in shower room and just the overall feel inside. Yes the CV was more expensive but it just felt a better product but the Rimor will do the job of much more expensive vans as you said. Cheers K.

This type of layout is the best seller in the UK in this size of 'van, that's why so many motorhome companies make them. In this one, you sleep lengthways and the joins between cushions are also lengthways. The cushions fit snuggly together, so you probably won't notice any joins at all.

You've also got a vehicle that has a resale value of about 50p and, unless you have incredible DIY skills, may well be unsafe. Whereas buy a proper campervan and its residual value will be vastly superior to almost any car. That's why the VW California sells so well, despite costing £75k or more.

Good luck with that one. We've had our Autotrail on order since 2021 and no sign if it yet. "No news no Fiat chassis" is all were being told by the dealer. Not even a chassis number. Other dealers have tild me Elldis have stopped taking orders and producing this year because of this. The reviewer needs to do some homework and start saying when these will really be avaiable. If ever. Reviewer needs to do some real homework and stop selling vans which are not there.

@@MotorhomeCampervan Whooaaa- steady there partner. Looking good for someone doing this that long! People have a right to know what the delivery times are as it is the only thing in Motorhome buyer conversation at the moment. So these are in stock for immediate delivery? I have rung the Trigano factory in Grimsby who build for for Hymer, Autotrail, Team Roller etc. and they won't talk to me. I have no date - 'Ring your dealer.' They use only fiat chassis and the dealers and the not on their websites concur that there is no regular supply of these vans and to expect an extended delay. You made it sound like you can just pop down and buy one in the video. I'm not buying from the people in this video but they will still have to source the vans from Fiat. Be nice if you did a video investigating fiat base vehicles extended delivery times, none delivery, cancelled orders being kept on by dealers and sold at top current retail price. Just a suggestion. 😉
