For a few years around California and Baja, a man spent a lot time in his Vanagon,
which is a portmanteau, or combination of words, of van and station wagon.
A love for the hobby blossomed, and the man asked himself how it could be better.
That's when he founded Texino in Los Angeles around 2018 and started working to improve it.
They started rebuilding and restoring older models to rent out before becoming the
business they are now. They have two forty thousand square foot production facilities
that fabricate nearly every aspect of their builds.
They stick to helping others and innovating the market
with builds like the Atrium Camper Van we'll be covering in today's video.
Like many vehicles and tech we showcase on this channel, this campervan stands out in the crowd.
The large, angular atrium box in the rear that the camper van is named after
sits prominently displayed atop the Mercedes Benz Sprinter the van uses as its foundation.
The interior is just as futuristic and features a full kitchenette and bathroom.
There is a loft cot near the front end of the Atrium.
In the rear is where the camper van gets its name from, with a wall of Smartglass
windows that can eliminate prying eyes with just the press of a button.
There are also six portholes, three on each side, offering a bit more viewing
for your pleasure. They also consist of Smartglass, if you were wondering.
This new prototype from Texino also offers off-grid HVAC,
six hundred watts of solar energy, six hundred amps of battery power, two hundred gallons of
fresh water, fifty gallons of grey water, and twenty-five gallons of black water.
The banquet table even transforms into a king-sized bed
so you can get a kingly night's sleep with a view that can't be beat.
As far as safety measures go, there is an onboard air compressor,
two spare tires, integrated extra fuel storage, recovery boards, and plenty of storage space.
The Atrium is nearly out of its prototype stage
and into the hands of patient consumers. But until then, there is no price tag information available.
Be sure to check back in if you want future updates on this camper van.
We had to have our swan song be one deserving
of the first place spot. The Life Home V90 Villa Edition from SAIC Maxus is that camper.
More of a personal luxury yacht made with four wheels and an electronic tower system than a
camper, the Life Home V90 Villa Edition is a much different RV style than other Asian models.
It's much larger than other models,
and this is thanks to a pair of slide-outs that widen the first floor
and a pop-up, full-height glass-encased second story served by its own elevator.
The first floor is mostly occupied by a spacious lounge
and fully kitted kitchen with a bar counter to evoke a condo feel.
There is a large transparent television nestled
atop an entertainment center on one side of the wall in the living room.
The wall behind the kitchen is where you will find the bathroom and the single-person elevator.
The second floor houses the villa where you can fully appreciate any view
and maybe enjoy a glass of wine while you're at it. Why not?
Unlike several other box-like caravans and campers available on the market, Caravisio Caravan
is more of a motor home with high-end amenities offering comfort and luxury like that of a yacht.
The Caravisio’s super aerodynamic exterior shell maximizes fuel efficiency and overall performance.
Inside are two single beds arranged in V-shape that can be turned into a large double bed.
The rear of the living room opens up to a fold-out deck inspired by
the salon of a yacht to allow you to stay connected with nature while being inside.
The caravan is packed with sophisticated technology that
allows travelers to control various in-house features through an app.
It also includes fingerprint-activated biometric
access control truly making it the caravan of the future.
It might look a bit odd, but there’s a method to
this madness – it’s to show you what is possible with today’s caravans.
You can design this concept caravan in any way you like, so it’s completely personalized to you.
You provide the input, and they’ll design it to your specifications.
On the inside, it looks like the mobile home of a Bond villain.
The lavish design offers sleeping areas complete with a flat-screen TV.
It also has a dining area and fitted kitchen with a sink and a dishwasher. All you need now is a
a swivel chair and a white cat,
and you can spin around and say “Mr Bond,
I’ve been expecting you”
Drum roll, please.
If you made it this far, then you must be eagerly waiting to see what we have in store for you
So, without further ado, I present Bürstner, a German company with a rich history.
From furniture to fancy feats of fun-filled fiestas.
Of course, if you watched from the beginning, you may be anticipating
the reveal of the Lyseo Gallery.
The first motorhome with an inflatable
over-cab area that Bürstner refers to as a "Gallery Roof."
The unique design of the Lyseo Gallery allows for a second-floor living area
without the grossly expensive cost of a two-story motorhome.
The over-cab area is lowered completely while in transit.
After you have come to a stop, you can raise it vertically in just 90 seconds
with the assistance of a compressor.
When fully raised, the Lyseo stands at a staggering 12 feet tall,
and the second floor is not angled
but instead acts as a proper second floor.
In addition to an XXL comfort size sleeping space,
the Lyseo's alcove comes equipped with a charging station, a table, and a seat.
A pressure sensor continuously monitors
the air within the second floor and adds more if needed.
The inflatable over-cab area is also fully insulated,
so you need not worry about the elements
while you are relaxing.
The interior doesn't hold back in the comfort department either.
Bürstner believes in a home-away-from-home mentality,
and they bring it full swing with the Lyseo Gallery.
The kitchen brings many electrical wonders to your road trip.
A pop-up coffee machine, a bar element, and an RFID chip
to allow you to centrally lock all moveable kitchen elements.
And despite the modest size of the Lyseo Gallery,
it also features a generously sized washroom.
Bürstner still impresses,
and the Lyseo Gallery is just the latest installment.
So, do you think the Lyseo Gallery and its inflatable over-cab second floor
will usher in a new era of motorhomes?
Or do you prefer one of the other models?

For our number three, we have to give out a special thank you to Alan Heath

So what has Alan brought to our attention?
Starliner is a company that has intensively been involved in vehicle construction since 1989.
Starliner prides itself on its high-quality craftsmanship present in every model.
And quality craftsmanship is the term I would use when discussing the Starlinfer Desert Falcon.
This hardy camper van is a home run, offering high-end comfort and off-road mobility.
The entirety of the body is made from a single mold.
Ensuring that everything you want to be kept inside stays inside,
safe and sound and that everything you want to be kept outside is kept outside.
The interior layout, scheme, tank sizes, and more are made in-house,
leaving the customer wanting nothing when they finally get their hands on the Desert Falcon.
Coachmen RV says they are built with one simple principle:
their dedication to enriching your life.
Long-term value is found with their company and, more specifically, their RVs.
Built on the Ram Pro Master 3500 extended chassis, the Nova
is a profound exclamation point to the end of their principle.
With a choice of two superb floorplans,
you will undoubtedly be enriched.
Two 110 Watt solar panels, 330AH 8D battery,
24" LED tv, and WiFi are all equipped in the Nova,
ensuring that you won't leave behind the modern world in your travels.
The kitchenette includes a 2-burner cooktop
and refrigerator for all your culinary needs.
The wet bath contains a shower, toilet, and water heater
so that you can enjoy your comforts anywhere.
