Small motorhome with large rear lounge! Unusual layout! Bürstner Lyseo 644G

- The Bürstner Lyseo 644G motorhome is unique, it has a layout I have never seen before. There is a large rear lounge with a drop down bed. Burstner has done the 644G for a number of years and in previous incarnations you can see it on this channel, however the 2021 version is really thinking outside of the box!
Enough of my opinions, what do you think?
I live in a motorhome and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life. In my CZcams channel, I present the places I have been to, pieces of information related to vanlife and reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Reisemobil Manufaktur, 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, Robeta and others.

Loving that thing at the back . . . A perfect Day Bed . . Then turns into a perfect sleeping area for anyone with young children . . You don’t have to dismantle anything to eat, sleep, sit, or lounge . . Beautiful neutral colours . . Just perfect 🤩
I think that's one of the best layouts I've seen. The room it affords is excellent.
Same here!
What a great layout. You can still have a bed made up without it taking up all the space.
I want this in the 🇺🇸!
I love the layout in the front with the separate shower and toilet - love it! (yes, a bit higher shower floor would be good. I do like love the round seating area. I guess we would not use it so much with just the two of us. So I would dig a bigger stationary bed in the back and a smaller seating area (on each side and open in back), with easy access to the bed. Could be cool with a drop down single bed. Or you just make up the seating area into a bed if needed. Overall...brilliant layout. Love the fridge!! And the gas stove top with 3 burners. Fab. And the storage space, clothing area and the storage in the floor!
That’s what I want in a van, rear lounge with drop down bed
Other manufacturers could learn from this layout, great ideas.
Possibly the funniest van video we have seen. Showed it to the kids and they all had a good laugh.
The ladder is obviously used to climb into the bed not to put out fires.
You are allowed to either pause the filming or use a tripod so you have both hands to fold down the dinette. You really didn't do this nice coach justice.
I agree with other commenters. This is a much more roomy design, with better sight-lines too. Kudos for your attempt at the sleeping arrangements. It appears that, under careful conditions, there can be 2 adults on the dining table (so to speak), 2 adults or 3 children on the canopy drop-down, and one more child in the rumble seat bed---or perhaps a beloved Golden Retriever on the rear bed, as long as the dog knew how to get down without launching into the kitchen at 5 feet in the air. Strategic canopy placement ought to allow for egress of the dog from the rear bed by romping over the parents slumbering on the dining table. Should this caravan be for less than a party of 5+1 (such as yourself), the variety and ambience of sleeping arrangements are practically unlimited!
I really like this layout, especially a decent garage with a rear lounge. The only downside I can see is the payload and whether you could sit in the lounge if someone was in bed
Bathroom and shower is genuis.. I really like this rv..😎😎😎
It is unusual!
Cracking motorhome, I like it a lot.
This is a perfect camper layout for me. Love it!
Nice to read that Leanna!
Thanks Alan, Very interesting! Like you, I was excited about the rear lounge/garage, seems like the perfect set up. If I was a single lady with a dog and a bicycle I’d be thrilled with this, and wouldn’t need the drop down bed, perhaps that would give more weight for things like ebikes, which are about 23kg each 😜
Hymer had a vehicle with a similar Layout with the garage and sitting area and bathroom. But the bed lift down over the driver seat. We tested it 3 years ago for a trip around Sweden. I found the bed system first really cool, but we couldn’t leave the ladder plus bedding on top. So you need to put down every day your bedding beforsten lifting up your bed.
I appreciate the constraints of small space but I don't like making up beds in the evening. I think the idea is great but in practice it may not work out well.
Having spent years driving a Hymer 534 rear lounge,having a bed that doesn't use up living space its good to see manufactories bringing the idea back.Yes the Eura Mobile 650 is a better system buy you only get that with Integrated motorhomes.Can use lounge while partner can be in bed more space to use
Put your camera down and sort that bed out properly, we will wait. You haven’t done that bed set up justice. Perhaps the “bed extension” towards the back tilts up to become the bed head? Who knows? You usually do satisfactory walk throughs but this was a bit disjointed. I think it is a good layout/idea. This would be on my wish list. Cheers👍
Not a bad layout plus no wet bath! 😁👍👏
Perfect layout...
Not a huge fan of electrical drop down beds but, tbh... absolutely love the overall layout...very similar to the overcab Deffleths motorhomes but without the overcab bed (which I like) and the price!!
There is an upgraded 2023 model which I have filmed and shall upload as soon as I can!
Nice. Continuing to look.
Thanks Alan. I prefer the 680G. The face to face lounge just behind driver's seat means that the front seats can be used as part of the lounge area. With this one it feels a bit cut off. Maybe a question of taste. If this were built on the Crafter MAN 4x4 or a sprinter 4x4 we'd already have one on order 😅
In theory, love the design of the bed as means you can sleep lengthways. Not sure how practical it would be in use though. As much as I like being able to shut off the cab, it becomes wasted space once you’ve arrived. Being able to turn the seats and use them has always been a draw for me. However, this design has certainly got me thinking.
Great layout. It's the width and breadth dimensions of the shower that I'm interested in. 😎
I don't know Julia - I would guess 80x80cm.
You can sleep 5 easily in such small space. Plus accessibility of the bathroom. Very impressive!
The interior is light and airy. The bathroom is where it should be for easy access lol Dbl drained shower is nice. Peanut Butter color tones add to the over-all feeling of elbow room. The bed in the back sort of throws off the ascetic look/feel. Narrow garage due to lounge design. Family oriented.:)
I enjoyed your video, an honest tour not covering up anything.
Thanks Helen, I do my best!
You have a stairs in the floor, remember, you don't have to put the bed totally down, mr Alan. I like this motorhome very much
What a beauty, good presentation too.
Thank you! Cheers!
I like the novel layout but I’m not a fan of a rear lounge. If you are going to have one then I’d personally prefer the bed to be able to be lowered without having to move all the cushions first. Not sure what the child size bed in the back was about, other than the creation of a garage but with the rear window sited like it was it made me think of the red light district in Amsterdam, but for kids! Eeeeek! 😱😱
You could put the cushions on the small mattress at the back or just use the ladder
Now this is a traveler’s delight
I think it's not practicle! I always keep in mind ....what if your on the road and somebody get sick! Who needs to go to bed and wants some rest, then your convined to sit behind the steringwheel! And demolisch the lounge to sleep......no not for me. I like what you call a german layout.
Than you easily can lay down in the rear lounge
We don’t get these awesome design in US
I love the bed!
Ole gunnar solksær has found his niche🤣🤣
I wrote and thanked him!
Think this layout if great. Definitely needs a deeper shower tray. Option to turn bathroom into a large(r) separate room works really well. Assuming bed can be fixed in a position so that cushions can remain ‘unscattered’ then with the garage ticks many boxes. Still think Hymer 534 with the motorised rear seat was probably the best layout for a small Motorhome.
Why doesn’t the US have any sort of Elevated bed lift. They don’t have beds in the from on the ceiling that electronically lift up and down. Like I’ve seen on your channel or in the back on other types. Ours are all complicated small B Vans with no Space Small bathrooms. This would Kill it in the US Market with a Double bed bunk with the Table converted to a Bed.
If you get rid of that garage and reduce it by 70%, it will take all your furniture etc. Bikes on the back. Roof bed pushes to back and liberates a lot more lounge. Perfect for me.
I think you would want to set the blinds correctly for operating the bed..Liked it enjoyed the open floor and the smaller bed set up.
he totally trashed the inside of that RV lol and i think he broke the blinds
Sadly, this product isn't sold in north America
It's a mad design and the bloke broke the bed blind.
Would be very interested to see more of this unusual layout. We are searching for a rear lounge with garage motorhome. We have elec bikes so need a garage and as caravan owners we really can't get along with just swivelling your captains chair around or sitting upright on a dinette type seat in the evening. However we are looking for a short van as well. Well done. Keep up the good work
There are not many rear lounges with garages Lynda. This might be suitable for you : czcams.com/video/-hgkqV9uzlQ/video.html or czcams.com/video/FGARoSvJ0OA/video.html - however they are both much more expensive!
I would guess the ladder hooks on to those hooks on the bed to help get in. Love the whole design!
Very nice for a couple or a single person.
genius wide comfortable bathroom.
Why not put the camera down for a minute, instead of struggling.
I was thinking the same thing LOL
I have seen this done with expedition type motorhomes, it is a great idea. In this case it looks like you have to take down the backrest cushions for the lounge first which is a bit of a pointless faff.
If I had the money for that I’d save up a bit more and get a Wingamm Brownie instead.
I ♥️ this RV
Thank you so much 🌻
I really liked this traveling home. 🌈
MashaAllah good working sir love from pakistan
I hope this, or something similar, becomes available in the U.S.
Not sure if this is working :(
It's a more natural layout I'd buy it if I wanted a motor home, and remember it has German quality written all over it.
When you put the bed up and down then you destroy the window coverings. Not a thought out design. Not a fan of this camper.
Lowering the bed then raising it made a plgs ear of the window blind too.
I am waiting for EV motorhome. Planning to buy one.
I also want one Arkady but I fear the wait may be a long one. Here is an electric campervan, the first genuine electric self contained campervan I have seen : czcams.com/video/L3IPBRS3Isc/video.html
@@VanlifewithAlan Thank you, Alan. I'll wait. I see no point in investing in ICE vehicle anymore.
@@arkadybelsky3150 You could get one made to order Arkady!
I think it's worth the wait for the premiere to start! This upload sure made my day sunny for a while! Thank you, Alan, for uploading! 🐱
My pleasure!
did you just mess that right up .... or is it just me
Love the layout, but couldn’t have a bed without a headboard. Scrap the rear window and have a headboard,
It's nice.
Look there's plenty of space here above me head, yes you xxl Dutchies will fit there....
That's a blokes way to make the bed
I really like this!
It is nice Julia. But not as nice as your avatar!
@@VanlifewithAlan Thank you :) That was my Ezzy, my New Guinea Singing Dog. She is gone now but still holds a very special place in my heart
@@juliasharp2857 That is amazing Julia, I did not know that there were any Singing Dogs as pets. I am interested in a number of things, including nature. In 2019, I prepared a video related to the thylacine and did some research on the Singing Dog (relative to the dingo). I think it was very brave of you to take one on, they are noted for being aggressive towards other dogs.
I am now also facing a situation with an old dog that I know won't last much longer.
@@VanlifewithAlan I'm in Kentucky. She had a very interesting story. Our dog warden spent weeks trying to trap her. He finally got her and at the shelter, she stayed huddled in the corner of her run. She would not make eye contact. We put her in foster but she was not thriving. I had rehabed several feral dogs and had a wild-caught Carolina dog and a bred Carolina so I took her on. I thought at that time she was a Carolina dog mixed with something based on her primitive behaviors. A friend of mine that researched primitive dogs and pariah dogs saw her pics and said that is a NGSD! She hooked me up with an expert who confirmed she was indeed a NGSD. I was blown away. How did she wind up at the lake in Kentucky? We learned there was a breeder in Ohio so our best guess was she got away from someone that could not handle her. There were only about 200 of these dogs in the states at that time. Ezzy showed no aggression to my dogs. She was much better with other dogs than she was with people. She often looked at me like I had 5 heads. LOL! She was extremely intelligent and had problem-solving skills. She would compartmentalize. Inside was mine, outside was hers. If she saw a cat outside, she would kill it in seconds flat. But she never once bothered my house cats. I never got to touch her when she was outside, not even beep her nose. Inside I could handle her, bathe her, cut her nails. She would go out either door but would only come back inside through the back door. She took me on such a journey of wonder, sometimes frustration, and education. She was indeed challenging and could be difficult but I would do it all over again. She was very unique and very loved. I am so sorry you are facing a sad situation. It is never easy.
Love this van. How difficult would it be to get this over the ocean to the States? Anyone know?
Not impossible but you would need to convert the electrical supply for example.
Front or rear the drop-down bed makes a lot of sense on short lengths, especially when you want regular coachbuilt (profiled, not alkovens) vans to compete with the more agile campervans which have seen soaring sales in recent years.
Great show round, you showed us the shower with you standing in it. Fantastic idea to show how much head room you have. One small, tiny problem with your idea, how damn tall are you, 6 foot, 4 foot tall, we need a reference point. Think it through, apart from that , great tour.
175cm Gary - that is 5ft 10.
Great looking vehicle with a nice layout at an attractive price. Any idea of the MPG? And is it available for use in the US?
Absolutely perfect! Are they available in the US?
No Michael - but it might happen one day.
The lounge reminds me of the adria action, except that turns into a 4 person bunk bed
Darn , no oven
I really like this model but the cushions shouldn't have to be removed for the bed to come down. I would change those cushions.
Why can’t these be in America.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
great idea being able to sleep 5 - but where are the travel seats for more than 2 ?
You showed this one many times already i remember, and those ones also had an oven/grill in it iirc.
No, I have not shown this one before.
What if both set of beds being used and someone from bed at the back needs to use the toilet during the night they're gonna be climbing over the people sleeping in drop down bed
Waiting😊
So am I!
I like it 😍 but not the prize 🤣
Do they sale it in USA??
Not at present, no.
@@VanlifewithAlan 😭
That awesome home motor vehicle but his cost high.
Surely you don’t have to do that with the cushions
Very good layout. Just need the EV version before I will buy one.
thats what the ladders are for to get in the bed not to put a fire out
No oven?
😍👏👏👏👏
Not keen on this don't like the bathroom at the front
You've ruined the curtains while you were messing with the bed.
like!
bloody hell clicked on the wrong one again ffs
sorry Alan
Good Idea Alan, but poor execution.
The dreaded electric bed. If you leave all the bed linen on the bed then it reduces the headroom in the back. If the bed stops working then you are completely stuffed. What a mess with all the cushions in a heap.
lol put out any fires haha
“Relatively cheap”. It’s a Fiat.
Allan, could you please stop filming with one hand and get a stand for your camera. That way you could demonstrate features less awkwardly.
Not really Ted. I am usually under extreme time pressure, here by the insistence of the staff in playing music whilst I was filming even though I was promoting their business. Unless there is co-operation from the manufacturers then there is not much more I can do. Why not write to the manufacturers and suggest they co-operate with me?
Hi Alan.I'm a big fan of your films and I really enjoy getting so close to motorhomes I myself can't visit. But if you get a tripod you could for instance lower the bed in a La Strada, maybe even climb up and show how much headroom there is. I'm surprised the manufacturers don't show more interest because you do have quite a few followers :-) I wish you a blessed Christmas.
@@tedthorngren I can't explain it either, however there are places that go well out of their way to be accommodating too such as where I am now (lent me an office)! The most difficult is at the trade fairs - and that is where most of my filming is done.
Alan, they want you to get one of the Bond girls to be your assistant.
@@discotex11 I am now thinking which one I would prefer. I think for class it would have to be Maud Adams - probably Roger Moore's favourite. For looks I would go with Tanya Roberts or maybe that Italian lady who was in From Russia with Love. My mother worked with Eunice Gayson - the only lady to have been a Bond girl twice in the same role!
Spit it out man, what are the figures, lol
That bed is so small, a taller person wouldn't fit in it
HAHA!
