My favourite Mercedes campervan conversion. Alphavan

The Alphavan wins my prize for being my favourite Mercedes campervan conversion. What I like is its length and height - it makes the most of the largest Sprinter model on the market. However its star pint is the rear loading area which can be used as a second bedroom or for storage. The fixed bed is above this area and as such gives a lot of headroom. The vehicle is gas free, cooking via electricity and heating via diesel.
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, Wavecamper, Maurer, Dreamer, Itineo, Rapido, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Karmann Mobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Bocklet, Woelcke,Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Murvi, Bliss, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow, Holzmobil, Giotti Line, Florium, Fleurette, Ahorn, Westfalia, Space Camper, Orange Work, Concorde, Womondo, Protec, Auto Sleeper, Dethleffs, Ilusion, Gehocab, Malibu, Pilote, Wild Ax, Vantage, Bresler, Tom's Fahrzeugtechnik, Morelo, Swift, Carado 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.

    WOW, ok, this is one of my favorites, absolutely beautiful. Please bring these to the USA, our market is sorely lacking quality products like this.

    Don’t fancy the underneath bed although I suppose it’s just an option. The main bed seems a bit high and close to the ceiling for me, maybe, although the storage underneath would be hard to access if it was much lower and there is air con so it shouldn’t get stuffy. Something I’d have to think about. Lots of lovely design ideas and I think not relying on gas for cooking is going to become more common - already seen using induction jobs in some caravans and Japanese mini campers. Happy to applaud any design that isn’t just a variation on the standard ones.

    As a relatively short dude, I'd prefer a 50cm shorter gararge (iit would still be huge) and a transverse bed - to get an extra couple of feet in the living area and fit in a better bathroom.

    Absolutely love this van. Love the all electric (no gas) set up. Massive garage space and good rear bed set up.

    Was the most interesting van at the show. Great video Alan. Cut above anything I have seen available in the UK.

    Elegant design. Adria and ChrisBorg also offer very interesting designs on the Fiat Ducato which offers more design flexibility. The MB Sprinter shape puts limitations on design.

    Gorgeous. Very clean and efficient looking. No clutter or pieces included just for looks. The added length seems to add some usable space. The overhead in the bed area doesn’t look overly generous but that garage in the back looks like it could accommodate a couple of kayaks.

    Nice, looks nice quality and gives the hymer vans a run for their money. Wonder if companies like this would do right hand drive on special request 🤔

    Really nice furniture but the lack of a gas hob/oven/grill would rule it out for me. Of course it all depends how you intend using it and personal preferences.

    A long sprinter van with raised bed makes me think race van. But this does have far better storage and insulation
