This has to be the strangest layout of any van I've seen EVER

[Pudsey Bear]

What were they thinking, I would be interested in your thoughts on this particular van.

Didn't like the cabinets alongside the bed - why make them so low? It closes the whole top of the bed in which I would imagine would make it claustrophobic as well as restricting use of the tops of the bedside cabinets below. Galley was too small as were the cabinets above it. The bathroom took up too much space unnecessarily in my opinion. As for the dinette arrangement, if all seats were in use it would be like musical chairs if anybody wanted to get up and use the loo!

Overall a poor use of the space available so not for me I'm afraid.

Not the best of videos either to be frank.

Agree with Rob. The day space is no more than a camper van. For 3.5t it looks heavy as well. Wonder what the payload is.

What's going on with half rhe bed in the garage?

And only a two burner hob?

I would not like the walk through bathroom. Very clumsy and awkward use of space. Even more so if it was being used as a 4 berth.

Interesting, I suppose, always good to see a different take on a layout, doesn't matter that I don't like it, not the type of MH I'd go near.

Poor use of space, not enough internal storage and the hob will be awkward to use at that angle.

Poor layout.

Not a van we would be interested in, but good to see some innovation on layouts, at first I wondered why the walk through bathroom had the sink in the middle, but once you see the tv mount on the back which is in middle of bottom of bed it makes sense. As for the cupboards either side of bed, great idea, gives a space for book or phone underneath and maximizes storage above.
Like Barry my first thought was "they look heavy" and sure enough on the RollerTeam website there is a 4.4t option on the two largest vans, but AFAIK that should be standard, it would be very difficult to run them at 3.5t.

Quite an imaginative design in my opinion. Though are the extra pax seats set up
to be side-on??? Agree 3500kg vans will likely be compromised on payload.

Not enough cupboard storage for us and while we're talking about van layouts I'll express my own little gripe.... where's the bin! All these vans costing 60/70/80K with fancy lighting and you still have to have a plastic carrier bag hanging on a flippin door handle. When I re modeled our van I made sure we had two pull out bins, one for waste and a large bin for recycling.

Why is the bed open to the garage, and are those runners to raise and lower it?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Just looking at this Dethleffs, same thing

Don't get it

 

[Drover]

Very cramped inside with normal bad design.
no good if you need a garage as you need to take a lot out to drop the bed down.
The guy with the camera makes it look bigger than it is.

I think they might have mentioned that the bed goes up. Not sure but I don't like the idea of a bed being that close to a garage door. They don't stay perfectly sealed for ever. Could be draughty in the winter.

I've seen several vans which have a similar bed arrangement over the garage, the idea being you adjust the bed to give your own balance between garage height vs headroom on bed, or to allow larger things in garage when bed is not in use. I remember a discussion with a salesman where he said we could put our bikes in garage, and me pointing out they would need to be removed overnight, not for us.
