I bought a brand new Wildax Europa so my tip is don't be impressed by the electrics on this one. Yes, It's good the lithium batteries and inverter but the quality of the van is very poor at a high price. If you look closely, the latches on the drawers are flimsy and break the drawers fly open and the mechanisms are weak. The very first day that I had my brand-new van I put the supports in to make the bed in the back and it broke as soon as I kneeled on it. I've now got a Hymer motorhome and it's a completely different league. These are not quality vehicles. I could give more details. Beware
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep So glad I read your comments thank you. Was really considering one of these, they're discounted from 99k to 90k and I was wondering who they're so much cheaper than pretty much all other Man conversions, many over £100k
I love this one. I especially like the solar aspect. As to the warning labels - are you certain this wasn't meant to be shipped to the States ? I thought we would be the only people that would require something like that. 🤣
I agree. Americans need warning labels all over the place bc of the horrid lawyers wanting to sue over every little thing. Broken system run by lawyers only to benefit lawyers I think. Nice van though, thank you for the tour.
Hi Nick, That is a nice piece of kit this Wildax Altair RS with some big Lithum batteries onboard en that big infurter great so gas is not needed my style of motorhome but also very nice length beds in the back for the bigger people a must Thank you Nick a great show 👍👍👍👍👍
We also get VW Crafters here in UK as well as the MAN. The Crafter is generally marketed as the leisure vehicle, for general public, while the MAN is usually thought of as the trade vehicle range.
Hi Nick……. We are building one at present, same colour 3.180 4x4 version (my Wife’s project), stealthy look from outside with big solar and battery storage ❤ Great platform to work from……. great tour as ever 🙂
Oh, off grid, solar power and probably the engine powering the lithium batteries. She well kitted out, she feels safe and comfortable for two people. Like her.
If there is no gas why the carbon monoxide alarm? 😂 another great tour from Nick love these mini tours compared to the longer ones on the other channel 😉
No extras with this price. I would add an heat pump ie an air conditioner unit. Also an omni antenna might be handy for the UK. Do like it. Shame it won’t come with All Terrain tyres. I’ve put them on mine. Grrrrrreat upgrade. Nice van. Wonderful. Does the battlers make it very heavy ?
300W from the roof is not very good, but great to see a manufacturer making a tiny step to all electric (enough amateurs do it already!). Nevertheless, even with the big battery packs, £99k for a campervan is plainly ridiculous. Just watched a vid of a guy going around the Motorhome Show looking for
A 3kw inverter is going to smash through battery capacity. What size batteries were they? Did you confirm whether the heater was dual diesel and electric?
It is dual diesel and electric, the solar panels are 400 watt, not 3 and lithium batteries though I think only one comes as standard, but may be wrong about that.
That solar is so under powered you might as well not bother. Its not an off grid vehicle! You need to be running the engine to charge, and that's a lousy way to generate electricity. I have a slightly bigger van with 800W on the roof, but you can have big skylights everywhere if you want power!
100k for a van with non flush windows (I hated these on VW T2 70’s panel van conversions) and looks like it should be sat on the side of the road or a motorway bridge catching speeders 😂
300W solar is not massive, not monumental, grand nor epic. It is underwhelming in certain conditions for a modern camper not in dreds, shari and not having showered like Steve Jobs did. But 3,6kW inverter is enough.
