You’ve absolutely missed your vocation in life 😂 seriously great review - the van looked well made and nice to see something a bit more quirky than the usual stuff but that one was not for us - the Merc one looked nice - on a side note, see they are doing a Vauxhall version of the ‘Ducato’ now - price wise for what you’re getting it’s not bad comparatively - looking around you can pay almost £100k for vans which look like they have been home made at the moment with little engineering having gone into them. Have a lovely weekend - will nominate you for sales person of the year 🌟 All the best, David 👍
Robeta is a very good manufacturer. You could easily reduce the price by removing unnecessary options like the Schnitzler body kit, safety package plus, special alloy wheels and Garmin radio package. If only used for two, remove the pop-top roof and it's another £7.7k off.
It's a bit, fussy for me, maybe fussy isn't the right word but a bit like the new Swifts it looks like an interior designer has been let loose on it and it's the basics that really count. It would have been nice to have seen the two berth for comparison and would there still be the same hemmed in feeling. On the lightweight panelling thing, when I visited the Consort factory as I was being shown around by Jane she pointed of the lightweight plywood they use and it felt really light to me. Having said that I don't know where it was used and whether they used the lightweight ply in some places and not others.
Yet another "Anti-tardis" . Why do these designers keep putting the loo room in the middle? Those seats didn't look very comfy for lounging on but it could be deceptive. A wardrobe would be good - I don't like my tops creased up in a drawer. It's good to look around these vans just so I know mine is better.... =D
A excellent review Rick, a lot of money but worth it if you want to bespoke it to make it truly yours.
Loadsamoney 🤣
I would say we definitely miss the oven in our van, if I was spending that much I'd definitely want one!
Yeah we didn’t have an oven in our old Chausson and couldn’t be without one now.
Your getting good at this😂
Far too kind, I heard Peter Vaughn was crapping himself 🤣
Great tour! Nice camper👍👏😊💕
Yeah it’s a beauty

I enjoy doing van reviews but I’m a bit blunt, Peter Vaughn isn’t worried

I did say you’d not need all the options but the body kit is awesome!
I work a mile from them and they are refurbishing their parking lot in readiness for these.
Interesting! I hope it works for them 👍
Some really impressive features but no windows in rear lounge would be a deal breaker for me.
Yeah I’m not keen on that either
Beautiful van. Not keen on the design of the storage at head height in the lounge and kitchen though. And I would spec a different fridge.
Yep I think you’re right, I felt the same
Hi, if mine arrive 1 day , I ordered an Apollo For two in Bike edition.
I hope you get it soon!

I agree the 2 berth only would been better for me, well built but yes fussy is a good analogy
Did the interior woodwork have lots of scratches, or was that part of the design?
Great review but I'll stick with what I have thanks 👍
I think it’s supposed to look “distressed” I’m happy with mine too 😊
Great van, but the price !! Still i suppose its about average this day and age for a well built van, excellent walkaround mate 🙂
That was the top price with every single option and the roof so it wouldn’t be many who bought one I’d guess
What's all the splits in veneer and all those white filler filled cracks is that supposed to be a rustic look finish.
Yeah it’s supposed to look distressed I think
Great video Rick, not sure about the sales guy, though.
Thanks! In what way?
I enjoyed that 😊. Great review but the high rear floor would be no good for us, Steve is too tall. Take care Gill
Same with me I didn’t like that bit either
Wow, not for me Rick. I think you can buy better for less, Adria Twin springs to mind. Cheers K.
Yep agreed 👍

Agreed! Our Apollo is way better 🤣
