A relatively cheap camper van range : Karmann Mobil
A relatively cheap camper van range : Karmann Mobil
There is no such thing as a cheap camper van. Therefore note the word relatively. Karmann Mobil is a brand of Trigano, it specialises in campervan conversions usually at the economic end. Although most of what it does is comparitievely usual, it does have one or two products which are completely non standard.
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 YouTube 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, La Strada, 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.

Thank you so much 🌻
the genius who designed it never went out in a camper….
Didn’t really show THE toilet and the shower.
Interesting vans especially the 4×4 versions…..not outrageous prices either.
👍
Bed length ?
Good service Alan.
Forget about the bloody lights… It would have been nice to have seen storage under the bed… under the hobb too. I’m sure you mean well and you are a nice man… But you will obviously need practice at this!
Where can i buy in America
So if 59000€ is relatively inexpensive what is the threshold for expensive?
What 5.4 metre vans are available in the uk?
Are these camper vans available in the United States.
Alan give it up you miss so many things out? Most important can it be driven on a car licence under 3.5 tons ?
4:20 … why one needs an extra basin to brush one’s teeth etc … Alan starts off with, … " I think the basin’s used for other things, other than cleaning your teeth to start off with, uhm …". ..
Oh come OFF iT people. Really?! You’re on the ROAD, camping, glamping, whatever. First off, I’d rather add a washing machine for when I get to spaces with water supply/inlets than the stupid dining seat. That way I wouldn’t have to use the public laundries that I’m not so comfortable with, but that’s a personal thing. The space could rather be used in far better ways. Driver & Passenger Seat will do fine to eat from. Just slip a table into the middle and you’re fine with it. The basin however is silly. When you want two basins in a tiny, tiny van, I’d wonder why you bother being in a van in the first place. Use one basin that you keep well cleaned, as with all else and use the space for storage or better uses. Let’s get real for goodness’ sakes. Go on the road with a bus sized space if you want to have an actual "HOUSE" on the road. If you MUST however, then this badin that folds away will do, even though it’s a tad large.
Alan, your videos are excellent – but who is your intended audience? Like you , I love the Dexter 550, but they’re not available in the UK.
You mostly review vans that are not available in the UK. Bit confused…
You should pay far more attention to your camera work. You move far too fast with the camera to actually show off the interior space. I would suggest you hire a videographer or just give it up because I find your imagery practically useless. To view the products you are trying to promote. A real waste of time.
How many kms per litre? Diesel or fuel?
not available in the USA because of parts.
@4:00 and the most important reason for the sink being there – washing your hands after using the toilet
I hope can sell that here in the Philippines. There are so many places to go to.
All great. Just need to sell myself up the Dilly now
$64,494 in American dollars in case anyone interested in the cost for first van. Over $53,500 for second one. $49000 for third. Not sure what he said on fourth. Over $65,600 for fifth van. And sixthl van $59,000.
Alan, I noticed a while back you get alot of haters. I like your videos, if people don’t like them they shouldn’t waste time viewing! Keep up the good work and stay HARD!
Jean Sheheen is a Criminal !
Love the last build. What is the model of the van? Any website to check for this model?
Hi….they look good.
Is there a UK dealer and Right Hand Drive version……I’d like a Ford based one. Karmann’s website doesn’t seem to have a dealer in the UK.
Question: do they run on solar..thats the only reason id rather build my own rig is that few companies that build RVs/Vans have a good solar system without being a to-big rig or to expensive for a normal budget. Also Lithium batteries don’t like the AGMs. If any one know a good price RV/camper with it please name the brand / name.
The Karmann chairs already look 20 years old….
Why are they producing 2020 vans, without sat nav and auto gear box !!
день рождение 21декабря подарок микроавтобус газель цвет вишня. Мать Марина!!!!
These are nice but I’m a pop top camper person…much more practical and with roof down you can get through low headroom areas…don’t think I’d spend £50k+ though…unless I win lottery ha ha
*In the U.S. we have the ‘RoadTrek’ that’s very popular for the last 40-years or so that’s very like the coaches shown here*
*The ‘RT’ series also has a revolutionary new power-system that basically eliminates the need for a ‘Generator’*
( *Quite a sophisticated system of an advanced ‘Alternator’ that runs strictly for the onboard Lithium Batteries that along
with solar ‘PV’ panels up-top can charge-up the batteries in an hour!* )
Could I ask, where do you buy a new Dexter/Karmann campervan in UK. Is it available in UK? I cant find any dealers.
Thank you
Nice van! I did like the sink too, easier to clean and any spills have more chance of going into the sink!
At 1:56 always remember a stick of pipe insulation plugs that gap between the rear doors perfectly for insulating !!
A big basin is useful if you can wash your hair in it too.
I liked the 540, one of the best I’ve seen and a reasonable price too!!
The 550 layout is interesting but seems to still end up with a small dinette as the only seating area. Using the extra high roof bodied van like on the 555 would be cheaper.
The Ford 560 looks very good, liked that a lot apart from the wheels being too small.
Hi Alan, I follow your video,s with interest. On your reviews could you cost the vans in £’s. and state their availability in the UK. Thanks for the service . Allan.
Wow these are good 💓
WILL THIS EVER BE MADE IN USA?
Could I buy in Ireland that price or is there additional vat?
very helpfuld very nice job butt you need to film with the zoom out becouse is very hard to identify wath your filming its too clouse proximity , thank you for showing the vans
What size fuel tank?
Dexter practice
Alan, does his campervan Karate training; ‘Lights on, lights off, lights on, lights off…’
height how many carparks have bar on camper vans
wish they had these in usa
Think wide angel camera!
Thanks for giving the prices, so many reviews don’t have costs and I know it’s not very accurate but a 60k camper isn’t 100k and with no prices it’s hard to imagine what one can afford, so thank you!
You should know how to talk more as bout your Advertising…👎
I like 2 bet caravan last one 591
All these vans keep you hooked on fossil fuel. You don’t need a fridge nor gas burners. You can opt for hollogen or a cook pot. For single or couples you don’t need four seats. Imagine the extra space hence why do your own fit is so popular
Are any of these available to buy and ship to the USA ??
I think the table and seat on entrance takes up to much space, they should move the shower bathroom up forward more , for more bedroom space I’m 6’3
