Tiny Camper from Globe Traveller : the Rookie based on Opel Vivaro

  • This tiny camper van is a Globe Traveller product. I have already published a film on the Globe Traveller Rookie which is based on the Fiat Talento van which measures 499cm - this version is based on the Opel Vivaro and is 40cm longer. In other words it has the footprint of a car but offers sleeping for three people together with a proper bathroom and toilet and small kitchen annex. Of course with this size there is not much storage - but what vehicles this size also offer a stand up shower and a place to make yourself to eat and a fridge! The bad news is that ths is a prototype which has not entered production so don't ask how much it costs!
    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 CZcams 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, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, 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, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow 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.

    A campervan with this layout looks ideal for a single traveller, having the ability of keeping the bench and table in the daytime position while sleeping in the top bunkbed

    Hi Alan, guess, this is not the first time, that u hear that comment?!

    I don't see selling point in this stuff. Too big to be agile and fuel efficient, too small to be really comfortable living in.
    it is uncomfortable anything and over engineered with useless or unusable stuffs.
    A panda cross or 2x4 diesel and a wingamm rookie 3.5 is probably a better choice reasoning flexibility accessibility in narrow streets, handling and fuel consumption.
    Over time how much difference in global costs between this toy and a clever celebration light clever-mobile.de/downloads/Clever_Celebration_Light.pdf or a sunliving 60sp or an Adria twin which are pretty common vans?
