Campervans you can buy for £30,000 or less! We try 4 Japanese campers but which is best?

Peter Vaughan samples four newly converted campervans from Wellhouse Leisure on a variety of Japanese base vehicles - Nissan Serena, Honda Elysion, Toyota Alphard and Nissan NV350 Caravan. All offer cut-price campervanning, but which should you choose? One of them even has an oven and a built-in toilet, another drives almost like a sports car and they start at only £25,000!

Nice to see Peter reviewing something different. These wouldn't be for me but it's always great to see what choice is out there. Thanks as always, best motorhome / campervan reviews on the net because you take the time to be comprehensive and non-biased.

Thank you for your review. Cant help but think. If they added a centrally elevating roof to the nv350, it would sell like hotcakes

I have a Toyota velfire next up from Alphard and had it converted . More then happy with full conversion pop top fantastic ❤

A friend of mine had a Serena as a company car many years ago it was very reliable in fact I can't remember him having an problems whatsoever and suited his large family.

What a great feature !! Fully Functioning campers that don't require a second mortgage . Small but beautifully formed and much more in the spirit of the original VW . The quality of the conversions looks really excellent too . Really enjoyed this

Quite different video. Very enjoyable. The last one for tiny me.

Did I miss something about the pop tops have a bed?

When I had my T25 (I was thinking about the driving position over the front wheels in that van just before Peter mentioned it) I tended to use the roof bed when I was staying for more than one night on a campsite. This meant that I could leave the bed made up and the downstairs in lounging configuration.

Interesting to see the four vans side by side. I think the Toyota worked best.

Had my Elysion nearly 5 years, fitted rear kitchen unit and full width rock n roll bed and I love it! Rides like a limo, super reliable, 30 plus on a run, even sold my 7 series because this is a better car. Dont worry about running costs over a vw diesel, you will make that back because they just dont break down...

Great video and good choice of subject.

[tricialyn]

I really like your descriptions....keep up the good work! ❤

[johnlong]

Thank you for this, very interesting.👍

[oliverstemp]

It would be great if the NV350 had a side kitchen and a pop top.

[dottester]

Id go for the Serena for economy you dont talk about suits me as retired 1 woman & dog, easy daily dual purpose.

[Madonsteamrailways]

This one looks like the Honda CRV that started that name off!!

[presterjohn]

The Serena would make a great one-man and his-dog touring vehicle, but the Nissan BV350 was the most disappointing looking on the inside. That layout did not work for me at all.

[JeanJamin]

I would buy one .... if the steering was on the left :)

[Madonsteamrailways]

The strange thing is that these vehicles weren’t imported to us. Another question is how they operate, and how much they cost!! My problem is that it isn’t an electric vehicle!! I’m never returning to diesel or petrol!!

[Madonsteamrailways]

For me, it’s got to have an electric engine and cooking system, just like the Vikenze III!!

[Madonsteamrailways]

Would I even look at a forward control vehicle? Not even if it was an Urvan!! I just don’t don’t want to sit on a diesel engine!!
