The Westfalia Sven Hedin, a campervan with tradition and underfloor heating

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Westfalia Sven Hedin campervan has been on the go for many years, so one can call it a campervan with tradition. The Westfalia Sven Hedin here will cost around EUR90k and is six metres long. It comes with underfloor heating.
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.

    Alan, I appreciate your honesty when you review these vans. This one is clearly on the wish list. Cost? Well if you want that quality, that’s the price.

    Would have been good to see the expansion side panel in action, bet it makes the bed ideal for tall owners. But innovation comes at a hefty price.

    Nice quality looking campervan. However the washroom appears quite small and I'm not keen on the transverse bed. If the van was a bit longer it would be possible to have a lateral bed?

    How tall are you? For reference when you're alluding to space above you i.e in the shower in this video. Very nice van, is Westfalia still doing the van with the slide out at the back?

    I don't like the way the front edge of that "popout" extends from the van wall. That will catch all kinds of bugs and road grime, I'll bet.

    One should really pop it back in whilst driving and it does give a bit of extra space in the van!

    I saw your comment last night David when you wrote it and decided to think about it before answering. If the question were, which vehicle would I prefer - the six metre Grand California or the Sven Hedin, I am stuck between the two. I prefer the layout and look of the Sven Hedin, I like the underfloor heating, the pop out would not be necessary for me. I think, but reserving the right to change my mind, that I prefer the Grand Californa plus the cash, if it were a straight deal one or the other then I don't really know. That is a good subject for a video I think. Anyway, you have not got a straight answer for a straight question!

    Just wondering seen its a very expensive vehicle, why is the door under the bed not a properly sealed door to the garage. That's not good if you might have petrol cans, paints e.c.t. Don't want to smell them fumes.

    I did not think of that one Mo. Most of us carry at least five litres of spare fuel with us just in case we find ourselves on the motorway without any fuel. I shall add that one to future videos.

    Sven Hedin was a Swedish explorer known for his journeys through Central Asia. He was on friendly terms with Hitler and blamed President Roosevelt for starting World War Two. Exactly the explorer my wife should have named our own van after. And she’s a Jew.
