I purchased a VW camper van in the US and picked it up in Europe. This was a few years ago but my family, four of us had no problem with living in it. The whole family was with me for 3 weeks and I was alone for a couple of months, sabbatical leave. Great vehicle, at the time and excellent value. We used it for years in the US. VERY convenient, easy to drive and park plus outstanding quality. Ready to go again.

These vans are great if your a child or hobbit, Far to cramped for a holiday, I had one and very soon got rid for a proper camper. If they didn't have VW on the badge I'm sure people wouldn't want them .

So you can sit on the toilet and cook at the same time. Amazing.

Great video and full of great information. One criticism would be that we did not see sleeping areas laid out in most of them - which is so important when it comes to practical camper van life.

Great Presentation Sir! Great Collections of Vans!

auto sleepers topaz - that one is the best, the nice bath is always a must, no need for big kitchen for a camper van

American VW dealers USED to carry those camper vans but for some reason, our local dealers don't. They told me VW doesn't MAKE camper vans anymore. So much for them being up on their products. I had a VW camper 40 years ago. It was GREAT even though it was no where near what they apparently are NOW!

The funny thing is I'm not into Motorhomes at all . But was totally engrossed and watched the whole video 👍😀 it's a shame I don't have 💰💰 to buy one !

Good job on the comparisons on all the different models

The bed on that Hymer was just shocking.

those vans are amazing

Gorgeous job thank you soooo much! So informative!

thx a lot for showing us the ultimate showdown

All of them are awesome love it

Next time you do one of these comparison videos please can you say the price of the model, thanks.

Great video - thank you for sharing!

thanks for the comparisons

Very entertaining/interesting. I think this fellow did a wonderful job.

Hey Thanks This Video Made My Motorhome! I Love VW And I Was Looking For One And The 8. One Really Got Me Im Gonna Upgrade The Engine And Do Some Intorior Stuff Thankszzz

Time you did an update on the new VW campers now on the market ;)

Nice presentation

Love the back seats in those first 3, better for bigger kids and teens.

Hi love your work, just wondering how much extra weight using the timber for internal walls adds compared to just adding insulation lining ? i love t thou :)

I am looking to buy on of these later on

Nice interior on the RoHo Livingston :]

Why is it that I found my old vanagon westy more efficient than many of this new ones ?

Why aren't any of them being sold in the USA? The old used VW eurovan camper prices are sky high so there's a clear demand for smaller camper van in the market. Bring them over and profit!!

The Bed in the VW HYMER Looks a bit cheap and loose. Wouldn't take a nap on that.

I wish they sold these here in the U.S.

New subscriber! ;)

I thought he farted at 17:11 😂😂😂

very slick presentation but never shows with the beds made down

If your going to make a camper van, here's my suggestion: Make a camper van with the high stationary roofs, but put a front-hinged lifting roof on top of that! Then have the fold down bed, like in the second camper in the video. Make a sliding door only on the left, because it's on the driver's side. Then make the common lounging area, with the front 2 chairs turning around, and 2 tables, one on the wall, one on a swivel crank, which will also fold down into the side of the door. the back 2 seats have hight-adjusting headrests, and both back chairs have dual armrests. Behind the seats would be like the danbury double back, the whole back sliding out. But in the sliding area would be the full bathroom with shower and toilet, like in the autosleeper topaz(with the dual sliding doors), not just a bench. This way, when your parked, the whole van won't smell as bad as it would in the others. Behind the left rear seat would be a sink/stove with 3 burners, a small and 2 medium. Under the stove would be a small speedy oven. Behind that would be a tall cabinet, going from floor hight to the roof. Behind the left seat, would be the fridge, raised so you could get your stuff without bending over. A slide-out drawer would be under that, for other stuff. Behind that would be a step ladder facing the fridge, mounted against the corner off the cabinet with the fridge and the wall. In the stand up cabinet behind the sink would be a mattress, folded into fourths and stored vertically. When parked, You lay down the back 2 seats, Turn the front chairs forward, fold down the tables, and lay the mattress across the seats. That is my idea of a camper van. Any other suggestions or ideas?

Number 5 is my favourite

Auto sleeper topaz is my favorite also

wonderful the toilets ! how about the indoor shower ? can you use it to show us how taking the shower please ?

Matters mighty little how much disputable value luxuries they build into them since we live in an age when only those can afford anything who do not really need it. In 1965 a university student could get a Vw camper after a summer work stint.

is there a way to get one of these to hawaii????

Just a heads up. They don't tell you which one won at the end of the vid. It's a 20 minute ad for the their magazine nothing more. Show your love by thumbs down and unsubbing. Ridiculous.

You just have to check out the old toyota townace by am craft its grp so no rot but it's got the lot

good

Topaz, the best of those.

I preferred the Auto-Sleeper Topaz (8:14) out of all the above, but didn't like the grey plastic exterior vents on the bodywork. Couldn't Autosleeper have made them body-coloured? But I still prefer the Westafia Club Joker (not shown here), preferably with AWD, to all of these...

good video with good information. One question.... What happened at 17:12? Was that a man made sound or what?

where are you located in uk for the show

When will these be available in the U.S.??? What are the prices for each van????

Where can I buy one of those sink/stove combos? That was brilliant. I have a Winnebago View and that combo would free up huge counter in my coach.

why did they remove the beds on the newer ones? the old ones got 2 decent beds. strange

What is the length of these cars?

damn i long for ore information. this felt like such a tease.

I had a 67 split screen

After all that and he doesn't tell us which one won D'oh !!!

Why no California?

How much does #1 cost?

8:45 está a melhor !

8:05 double bed...hmmm, no...

You guys saying they're too small clearly just don't get it..and have certainly never tried one!!! I have a VW California and is f'ing fantastic! I can actually park the thing in my garage..not like bigger motorhomes, and I can fit 2 folding bikes, and kid seat and the kids car seat and us 2 adults and STILL have space to cook and relax! Yes the spaces are small, but beautifully thought out and work beautifully! Lift the roof and you can stand and move around to cook. Open the back up and fit the tailgate awning and THERE is your shower...and shitbox....you guys are clearly a very culture bunch...speak to your Grandmother like that do you?? Fucking amazing van, but none of you could ever afford it anyway, so I think maybe a matress and a transit IS better for your type!

I think it’s a shame VW can’t solve the toilet problem in an Ocean. These converters show simple effective solutions.

you can keep it. it's like the a modern house, sterile and boring. i'll stick with the original camper. warm colours, comfortable and you just can't beat the nostalgic look and feel of the original. the toilet just puts me off straight away. whats wrong with the bushes??!!!

what am i doing with my life?

Great for holidays..can save on hotel bills

Does he blow off at 17.05

I lived in my vw T25 for 10 years. Bed and gas hobs. removable storage boxes. Stuck a boat hatch in the roof. 99% of this stuff in these vans are designed by people that have NEVER stayed a night let alone a week in a van/camper. I don't want to have a loo any where near me inside a van. Pee in a bottle and poo in a public loo.VW need a re think BADLY

I hate campervans but these looked so cooooool

Topaz, by far the best here...

I like number 3 camper plus I got the lego volkswagen bus

If you are going to review something then please show the beds made up and give dimensions and finally give the prices for these conversions although if people are seriously interested a little online work will suffice in which case your review becomes superfluous as it gives far too little information about each product. Maybe the same length video but featuring only three vans would have been a lot better.

Sure wish we could get some of those model in the States. :(

Wow. I have never seen a (slightly) full bathroom in a VW camper.

Who is RIB?

so if I could get a campavan

Bring to Canada

My T4 camper is aging rapidly and I would soon like to update to T5 or newer but alas, here in the U.S. we are totally deprived of the new generation VW campers. Oh, the injustice of it all!

Lindo

I do wish you'd talk to the camera!

They are all great as you will be living at road side garage waiting for your over priced part to be flown in because they are not reliable....

Why do they never tell the price of these campers?

Any one of these would be great for family beach weekends...but I don't know if that would be worth the price...whatever the price is...

i dont think the call from Top gear will come.....

Jeez enough with the warp stabilizer during the non moving shots, it's making me sick and sure I'm not the only one. I'd rather have shaky video than this unnatural distortion. Otherwise cool video and great vans. Thank you.

You don't want to be around when I go

All said and done it's an expensive way to take a crap.

Prefer the standard California.

what i don't like about these vans they are just vans with a kitchen and a toilet.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the old 1960s and 70s VW camper vans have a tent that attached to the side off the side doors to make a nice sized, actually usable living space? With the modern fabrics and technology of today, they could even make one that was insulated so you could have it heated/cooled! Just make one off the side door that wrapped around to the back. Carry a family of 4 in normal seats inside, and make all the seats removable to be used in the tent! Make that tiny little VW a huge tent! Much more spacious and comfortable! Or, just move to America and buy an actual RV... those trump these lil toys any day of the week!

omg whhhyy? it's so cramped.

Don't Vw already make their own camper called the California? I'm sorry but all these are just a bodge up with lashings of chipboard and silicone sealant and will depreciate rapidly. Keeping a toilet in a kitchen cupboard is INSANE! Use the loo provided at the campsite or simply poo in a hedge or even ask a pleasant caravan owner (???!) to use their facilities.

The shit smell adds a homey flavor to the meatballs you cook later for dinner

tapoz is the best

The livingston from rolling homes came 1st

Some of them don’t have beds

...just discovered that Autosleeper Topaz costs 55,250 GBP (US$88,400)...!!!!!!!!!

Vanagon westfalia more space better lay out.

Topaz..

Few cars back to bed or how did they introduce no design
