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, 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 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.

That system with the bed in the Box Life is really excellent. That bed goes up and down and so you can choose to have a lot of storage, including full height bicycles. To fit the full height bicycles in the bed is high-ish I think, but still reasonable. The great thing is you can just keep the bed all made with sheets on it and you can sleep on it without having to take your bicycles out of the storage area. This is a huge advantage over the alternative arrangement I see where the bed folds up to the sides.
A great sized fridge at last...and an interesting looking shower set up.
hi! Why you don´t show the variable height of bed ? Seems a key feature of this car. Really don´t understand...
Hello Alan, I'm big fan of your videos and I'm big fan of the new BoxLife. Just one comment about your video. I think in this case it would be good to prepare before the video since Knaus did some interesting changes for their BoxLife 2020 that I personally have never seen in other campervans. There is option for height adjustable bunk bed in the back. You can even change the bottom bed to sofa if you need, or just lift both of them up to save space. This is quite impressive in my opinion. The other thing is that they switched to diesel heating and removed the whole 13kg bottle space. They are using only small gas bottle to provide hot water I believe (not sure if it's used for fridge as well).
Thanks for watching the videos. I have written articles on many of the vans I review where these things are normally covered. This is on www.MotorhomeFullTime.com although at the time of writing I have not yet had a chance to upload the new material on the BoxLife.
Great vid Alan and thanks for the shower demo 👍
Love the shower!
Love the shower solution 🚙🛀
Hi Alan. Do you have some video o Knaus Boxlife 600 DQ?
Alan, could you show the way the dinette/seating area converts to sleep area, most likely for children or youths but just curious for vans which offer that option? Either way I appreciate all your efforts.👍
At 1:40 you can see the seats are narrow and profiled, I found even when slid apart there was no room for slouching, you can only sit bolt upright in position.
It is a bit difficult to do by myself - I need another person to help!
@@VanlifewithAlan Understood, that actually provided alot of information regarding the functionality! Thank you sir!
@@Chadryanclark Often on these vans a 3rd bed goes across using the dinette seat, table and an extension toward the sliding door. It's quite a faff and takes two mattress sections plus a bit of wood with a hinge!
Looks good, but i think all this van just a sleepers, you can drive faster than a motorhome,but not much else,no room for anything,I stay with my 7 meter hymer🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙
I think the European marks are trying a bit too hard. I know there is loads of kit on them but there never seems any real relaxation space, good review Al.
Thanks Alan - I need to explore this question further!
Not sure if its this review but that looks claustrophobic....and Ive never said this about campervans
I don't like that toilet with hand basin (too big and square) with cabinet right above the basin...seems too squashed up.
Hello for me your video is incomplete about gaz, water, price an you have too much publicity. It’s not admissible for us I regret
