High roof camper vans from Pössl

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I like high roof camper vans as by moving the bed into the roof, one gains much more space in the van and usually there continues to be a bit of space at the table should it still be needed. Here we see three models from Possl where the high roof comes into play.
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 KZread 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, Frankia, 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, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow and others.
I do this by regularly attending trade events such as CMT Stuttgart, Abenteuer und Allrad, Caravan Salon Dusseldorf, Warsaw Caravan and Camping Show and sometimes 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.

    I stayed in Lincoln few months back in our company Concorde Camper Van and it's exactly the same as the one first one featured on here. I really liked it very snug but still enough room to move around with someone else in there too. You are quite close to the roof perfect if you love listening to the raid hitting the roof (which I do!)

    I always wonder why, in small vans like this, do they put in a sink? When literally two steps away is the kitchen sink? Is that a gross concept, just to have 1 sink? I am only asking, because without it, there could be more comfortable shower space?

    Seems to be a lot more of these compact ones with toilet/shower in them. Seems the manufacturers are thinking there is a market for these smaller items and are investing in that direction as well as the larger and more expensive models.

    How much can these Possls be customised? The first one is very appealing for height including the roof bed, shower and toilet but - as you said - the rear facing seat is sort of a waste of space and I myself would prefer more open space and, say, less kitchen. (E.g. no built-in hob, just a flip-up counter you could put an induction job on top of.)

    Liked the interior of the first car, short car with a lot of space, but how is it to drive in side winds, so tall, narrow and light? Nice inside the car, on the outside I think I need time to get used to the short tall car, the look becomes a bit special in my eyes. Generally nice solutions for these cars.
