Unusual, compact VW T6 motorhome : Wingamm Micros

Рет қаралды 581,076

This is a very unusual, compact VW T6 motorhome is the Wingamm Micros, built on a monocoque (single shell) in northern Italy by a family owned company. You might think it looks sterile, you might think it looks bright - so which one is it.
My friend Camper Tobi (who has his own KZfaq site) turned up during filming and I have left in our little chat!
I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
In my KZfaq channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg and others.
I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

If I could start my life allover I would buy myself a camper from the moment I'd move out from my parents. Now it's too late,as I have become too attached to all my old furnitures and stuff that I have bought or inherited during the years. Young people; don't buy a house,buy a camper!!! Imagine how free you'd be,to always have your home with you,wherever you go you have your bed right outside!! Oh I wanna be young again!!!!

@lindseyw2791 2 жыл бұрын

@@katharineofarrogant7805 if there is just one adult then it should be ok, although on a wet day it might be difficult. I would think the best solution would be having an awning. That way the dogs will be outside most of the time. The floor space is at a premium and unless your dogs can both go on the bottom bunk while you are in the van you might find it a little tight for space. Travelling with them would mean you would have to have them connected to the 2 passenger seats which shouldn’t be a problem as they will have space. My dog is small and when I’m parked I find it easier to move around if she is in a pen outside or in her bed under the bench seats. She can travel in the front seat with me so that’s not a problem. Night time is fine as they would have the freedom of the van if you slept in the overhead bed. I hope that helps.
