Love it, what a gorgeous little conversion. 😍

Oh I love it. It's fabulous 🎉

Absolutely beautiful. John seems like a lovely person to deal with. Happy travels. Can't wait to see Linz washing the dishes in that wee sinkl😂

It's good to see an original and clever design. I've seen too many old VW's just fit the same rock'n'roll bed and cupboards.

29k + base... phew thats one big price tag!!!! so about £90k all in. Holy ###t. insurance going to cover that? i seriously feel a headache coming on. But it has been an interesting set of build videos.

Beautiful conversion 👌🏼

OH MY Great craftsmanship in the conversion but it’s just still so small I suppose it’s just going to be used to just get some sleep if you’ve had a really busy day on the road You won’t need to cook in the van really if your are parked up somewhere overnight and there are plenty of eateries 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️❤️❤️👍 👍 🌼🌼😃😃

Awesome build thou I'm not a fan of fitouts with storage on either side of the bed, really reduces the width of the bed but each to their own hey. Great to see an ID Buzz camper conversion, keen for the ID Buzz to be released here in Australia either later this year or in 2025. Safe travels.

Hi Do you think you could update us on how much difference it makes to the range of the van when it’s also putting the 30 amps into a depleted leisure battery after a couple of nights away. Be very curious. Thanks. Didn’t see anyone in the van when it was weighed. If it was weighed as part of roadside enforcement it would at least have had a driver to be stopped so don’t forget that’s at least 80kgs off the payload. What is the maximum discharge from the 150ah lithium battery? I believe you mentioned a 3kw inverter? Seems a bit powerful for it compared to most Lithium batteries on the market but impressive if it can deliver for a reasonable amount of time. Didn’t hear a mention of any heating or did I miss it?

@@epcode5121 have you taken your pills today ? Emm the radfords commissioned the conversion, they are seasoned motorhome users, they know what works and what doesn’t work, you have to ask why this has been done. No one spends that amount of money on an electric van and adds the amount that it cost to convert just to have it as a second occasionally used vehicle. It’s been done for a purpose. It’s totally impractical.

Just seen the new VW T7 California camper van think you guys should have waited it’s a lot more versatile no cooking alfresco and a sink you can wash up in sorry guys the Buzz it’s just too small what’s that saying IT LOOKS LIKE A PIG IN A POKE and I know you guys like the Buzz but the cost is WOW and the practical side is a NO there’s no storage in the Buzz for chairs clothes food wet clothes boots shoes etc etc The T7 also has lots of tec stuff which should keep at least one person happy 😂 think you will need to have takeaway delivery’s on speed dial when using the Buzz or a good restaurant pub guide happy camping 😎

Looks great but it would be no good for us. I’m 6ft 3” tall. Although I’m not an EV hater, I would be worried about sleeping on top of a massive EV battery pack. I know it’s rare, but I’ve seen videos of EV’s taking about 6 seconds from the battery starting to smoke to them bursting and into flames and exploding. At least with a normal diesel van as long as you have good fire detection devices you’ve got time to get out!! That is an issue of concern for me.

I would never entertain the idea of a small van like this, let's see how you get on with no storage or privacy, they are maybe OK for a solo

Not 400 kg payload as the driver and any passenger have to be in when weighed 🤔

@RoamingRadfords

2 ай бұрын

No they don’t. Payload refers to the amount of weight your motorhome can carry. For example, if your plate states 3,500kg is your maximum overall weight, then this is your payload. This includes passengers, pets, belongings, appliances, furniture, and anything else you may have in your motorhome.
