Have to agree the sink idea is ingenious. Hate wet room type affairs. Who wants water all over your toilet and sink. Solves that issue. Really well made camper. Nice one Nick
Nah, Mercedes trumps Peugeot! I would gladly spend a summer touring Europe in one of those. Love the layout with the kitchen in the back and that swinging sink in the shower room is the work of a genius. Thanks Nick.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="243">04:03</a> 🎉 VERY clever, the Head with swing out sink to limit Shower 🚿 Splash. Should be adopted on small water craft. Make a note👍
Excellent vids, relaxed but detailed narration without the commonly seen talking heads syndrome or the constant accentuation of each syllable by pseudo Karate chopping moves (a pet hate of mine). Well done indeed - thanks Nick.
Hey Nick I really like this motorhome it's packed with great ideas like the kitchen at the back and the movable wall in the shower and I would definitely opt for the Mercedes cab over the Peugeot one, Have a great weekend bud
It's the small conveniences that sets this one apart. I'm seeing all those other "rigs" in the background and I'm hoping for lots more tours. Thanks for this one...
The moving sink is a great idea. That lip on the edge of the cushions looks like it would make for an uncomfortable lump in the middle of the bed, though. Perhaps they flip over?
Hiya Nick, lovely 🥰 vid. Could you get one of these on the Mercedes base but longer, with the kitchen and door at the back but a bed 🛏 in the roof that comes down electronically? Keep up the great videos Nick and please stay safe and healthy. Thank you my darling 😘
Great review , I recently looked at an 08 plate Nuevo for 26k , beautiful, hold their value really well , everything you need as a single person touring .
Very nice, just spent the morning looking at a Regency and a Winnebago both on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis . This looks much nicer build wise, the bath is amazing with the fold away wall and 1/2 the price of the ones here in the State’s!!
Good review Nick. A couple of things you might like to consider pointing out that, in my experience cause lots of confusion amongst those shopping for campers/motorhomes 1. The 4 burner hob is nice to have but on this model is further enhanced by one of the 4 being a 240v hot plate for use when on hookup. 2. Full air con (as opposed to cab air con which you pointed out) is nice to have but unless you have masses of habitation battery power and an inverter are really only for use on hook up. Finally, in case you get asked ( as many other RU-vidrs have been) what the black box with the flashing LED was inside the overhead locker.....it’s the comms box for the Truma iNet system. Equip it with a sim card and you can use Truma’s smart phone app to control the heating and hot water system when you are away from the vehicle. Hope that helps and love the videos 👍
We have a 2004 Nuevo and in this new one you have lost the storage over the cab which is a huge loss as it is the best place to store long stuff. Also the microwave which you don’t need takes up a very valuable space so in all a bit if a step back I think
We’ve looked at getting a motor home. Would have to go down the coach built route, really not convinced by van conversions although they are cheaper. This one looks good but there’s a lot to be said for having a permanent bed. Cheers Nick
Yep, in my opinion van conversions are quite bad. In a coach built camper you have the advantages of fiber-reinforced plastic which can't corrode/rust like metal, is much much lighter, has better heat/cold insulation properties and have much better space/layout.
Really enjoying this series of the compact RV's Nick. Thank you for doing it. 👍 Considering this one is based on a Mercedes chassis, I think it is very well priced and you get a fair bit for your money.🥇 love that movable sink in the shower area, never seen that before, great idea.👍 P.S. is there any chance that you might find the time to do another series of walking videos, like you did at the start of the pandemic? 🚶🏻♂️👍🏻
Hi Nick, What i notice is that the co alarms are at the top of the motorhome. I think thats stupid because carbonmonoxite is heavier that regular air. So when the co alarm goes of the hole vehicle is already filled with co and you would probably already be unconscious. Its strange to me that those constructors do not think about this. Sincerely, Rens
With Shell and Morrisons removing lpg pumps from their forecourts, I’d be wary about buying a Motorhome with no gas locker for exchange bottles. Like the Merc cab though!
I've just started going through the motorhome tours Nick, having gone through all your yachts - I figure living 50 miles from the coast they might be more realistic! Lovely little van this, the shower unit is especially neat. Out of interest, is Nick Whale Motorhomes the same Nick Whale who kindly gave you a tour of his lovely Princess on the floaty channel?
I guess the extractor exhausts out the roof? Or, is the vent in that fitting where the rear camera is mounted? Hmm.... The way the bathroom unfolds to become a dry-bath is the one innovation I predict will be copied. I am disappointed an RV priced at seventy-five kiloquid has a cassette toilet. That's unacceptable. I just checked the Auto Sleeper website. None of their models, even the largest ones, come with black water tanks.
Here in America we're used to all sorts of RVs on the road. We're neutral about them and understand the urge to use them to explore. I've gotten the sense that there is some contempt for them in England... am I right? Is it just the towed type? Is it the American "big good" and the British "big bad" thing? Obviously there would be exceptions on both sides. Are my senses mistaken?
I think there are a couple of things: - U.K. roads are often quite narrow and twisting compared to US ones so any vehicle that slows down traffic can be unwelcome. Possibly this is more caravans ( trailers) than motorhomes ( RVs). - there is a lot of dislike of the travelling ( what might be called gypsy) community ( mainly Irish, sometimes Romany) in the U.K. who are seen as a bit outside the law here and often leave mess behind. They mostly have large caravans, sometimes motorhomes. Many people can’t discern between travellers and holiday makers and view motorhomes and caravans with suspicion. Experienced U.K. motorhomers tend to try to get across the channel as often as they can were the culture in France, Netherlands,etc, is generally more welcoming than here.
@@philipellis7039 Excellent information. Thank you Philip. It's not something I've done but I could see myself doing it in the future. Culture and opinions change. Maybe someday Brits will enjoy trips around their fair country and the culture will appreciate it. Road size is important though as you say. Building more substantial roads doesn't seem to be popular. The inverse actually.
