A great review, Peter, and what a lovely selection of campers. I particularly liked the Ford Nugget, but VW have done a great conversion of the Multivan.

But the Multivan is a pure VW product, the T7 van will be a Ford that's had some VW input (still Ford mechanicals). VW fans may prefer the former!

We've been driving the California for seven years and this new design is a step backwards. There has always been a lack of space in Cali and now there will be even less of it. The new T7 is nicely made, but it is more of a family VAN than a camping car. I wonder what the sales of this model will look like?!@@MotorhomeCampervan

Hi Peter , have you seen the 3 Chinese campers that drove all the way from china . I think that they are on Iveco chassis and have 2 or 3 pull outs on them , Not bad for a 5 or 6 metre van . Enjoy the show and thanks for letting us be there.

The Chinese 'vans are shown in our other Düsseldorf video - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYmD1paFn6u1Y7g.html

I think we are seeing the new age of campervans as they start to adopt the more modern looks and features of cars inside and out and this is of course reflected in the price. The days are gone where the dashboard looks like an early 2000's work van and I think this could push more people into using campervans as their every day. VW has some seriously nice designs, they always have compared to the others in terms of exterior looks. I think the Ford, and even though the Nugget, especially the one with the fixed high roof - perhaps the most ideal inside for me, just doesn't look dare I say as COOL as the VW.

Great review Peter, must have taken a lot of planning. Those micro campers are great when the weather is good, but as 2 ladies in a Cali Caddy in South Wales found out last week, not so good in the rain. Some great features on the Cali concept but it just looks too low inside compared to the current model. Cheers K.

Totally agree - you need good weather for a micro-camper, or at least a good inflatable awning and some experience of camping!

It’s always great to see the latest developments, but how much will they cost? When a caddy sized camper costs nearly £50K? Thanks a great video as ever Peter keep up the good work

Thank you. I'd expect the new Nugget and new California to each be around £80k but let's hope they're a bit less!

wow what a nugget

I wish they had RV shows like this in the USA. Showing the VW California is just a tease. We can't purchase any of these cool vans in the USA. I will have to get a conversion when and if I buy one.

Why only Induction cooker on mains hook-up? My induction hob only pulls 1800w on start-up. Solar, decent battery system and 3000w inverter should be fine.

Where would you put the inverter and batteries in such a small camper? Storage already looks tight

Will we get the nugget plus trend in uk? Shame the new small vans don’t put in magnetic fly screens. Such an easy fit. Also it’s about time they saved us space on bulky thermal windscreen covers and put some built in blinds in. Prices are serious it’s about time they sorted it.

@@MotorhomeCampervan its a nice thought. A pity that van manufacturers have less trust than you. Why don't they give good warranty's like we get with cars? Fiat reduce their warranty on van conversions to 2 years. What does that say about their vans? I would guess 3 years for a VW.

It seems from other reviews that it is slighly lower. The van is also significantly longer, which may preclude its use as a daily car replacement.

They're an entirely different animal. A camper can be used as a daily driver but a motorhome can't. Think how much money this will save in capital outlay, tax and insurance - as well as not having a great white whale unused on the drive or in storage for eleven months of the year.
