Cali-killers....

Standard on the gallery but they are no longer doing that vehicle. Its all B66s this coming year.
 
What do we think to this Burster Habitation X concept.
Interesting and innovative idea for the 6m platform.

I'd want to assess how easy it will be to fix the sliding bathroom when it's 15 years old - but it's a very clever idea, as for a couple, only half the van tends to get used at once.

Fair comment.
It’s an interesting idea. Potentially allowing for a large rear bed.
We find two adults in ours, a bit cosy with the traverse setup. Therefore, I sleep upstairs.

It’ll be interesting to see how they deliver this and whether other manufacturers adopt a similar system.
I find the 6m van, is a very happy medium between California and large motorhome.
 
I think this is a clever design and would like to see one for real. One drawback will be reduced storage as you lose locker space in the dinette area and under the rear bed area due to the telescoping toilet. But I’m certainly interested and the price on a Mercedes base vehicle does seem competitive.
 
I've been following that guy and his PV5 conversion. Looks like it could potentially be the first truly viable electric campervan. The fact that it comes with vehicle to load power is really interesting. I suspect that this vehicle will be the basis of conversion for quite a few companies soon.
 
I looked at the PV5 Passenger. While you can make a decent bed I think it would suck as a day van. If they made a version with sliding /removable seats (and potential of swivelling front seats) I'd definitely consider it.

Front seat swivels are available for Cargo and Passenger. Cargo option is on the Combe Valley campers website and I have seen a Facebook post of them fitted to the Passenger as well. The centre console between the seats needs removal / adjusting and V2L plugs & heater outlet repositioned.

There is a video around (in German) of a wheelchair adapted version that has a replacement floor with rails. Into which various easily removable & adjustable seats are fixed.

Yes I've seen that. Ideally I'd be looking for something that doesn't require those types of mods.
 
I was on the Sussex Campervans PV5 conversion launch on Monday, which while expensive, was ground-breaking in terms of the almost 5 feet standing height before pop-top raised, and of course the V2L 3600 watts 230v plug socket from the main traction battery.

It has an interesting pop top locking mechanism too (36m 40s) and Lots of clever storage ideas also.

There is a demo of the front seat swivel in the video somewhere, but no timestamp, sorry.
