I have had a look at the European version of this model, and I see that it comes with a window in the bathroom. Do you think Westfalia in the US would consider doing the same for their US production models. A window just opens the space up, and I find bathrooms in vans without windows so claustrophobic. Also a window helps with ventilation. Thanks!

Thanks so much for sharing this! It's awesome to see what is evolving. The rear area design to me is the most intriguing. Also liked the bathrooms inset compartments. I assume the sink was under the glass to with the gas burner? One feature Id like to see changes is the stoves glass top. From my experience glass is a rattling noise maker on rough roads. I'd prefer a different material top.

A few things should be noted about this unit: This is a Westfalia Columbus 640 if you want to compare the vehicles. - There’s no release date, I would not expect anything sold until 2025-6. - This appears production ready, but I think this is very early and rough around the edges - The seats are from previous iteration of Westfalia in Europe. They’re all black now in the 2024’s. - Cabinetry has design confusion on handles, and 2024 Westfalia vans have push to open upper cabinets and positive latch bottom drawers. - The body exterior design is Roadtrek (except the windows) - European models have hydronic in floor heating, not the Truma system. - 600AH Lithium from Roadtrek is the proprietary KS2 system they’ve used since the Ecotrek days. It’s not user friendly or cheap to fix. I hope they drop this system in production. - The AC, Shore power location and Firefly systems are also hold overs from the Roadtrek line I expect big changes when it goes into production. Especially the Roadtrek design elements.

That Westy is nothing less than a "Work Of Art" !! Form and function go hand n hand. Like at that separate fold-up bed?, it's genius, and the rear, that creative space should fit my AWD E-bike. Then Roadtrek ?.. Those colors look good enough to eat,, and styles in options are definitely doable. Here's a company who listens to its customers and actually stands behind its product. It's not just my opinion, I've heard it from people who own them. It's also best to purchase from a reputable dealership.I can't wait to come down to SSRV and experience these in person, because no dealership in New England can hold a candle to these guys as far as inventory and product knowledge. Plus you get a two-night stay at a campsite and a year of Harvest Hosts ??? .In Connecticut there's no more than 10 class B's in our state,and if you mention extras like Nick offers? They look at you like you're from another planet. A steering wheel isnt standard e.q. here. You want to save more $ ?, they'll probably disconnect the brake lights and horn for you, doesn't matter anyway on sleet and ice ! Connecticut however, does have the best clam chowder...as long as the clams come from Rhode Island..😂 Kudos to Nick,Hank and Lola.. We all love you up here.!!!

The Westfalia is great - bringing Euro design to the US is a smart move. There is some great stuff in there - there are a few things I'd be interested in learning more about - the Westfalia solar and inverter - is it comparable to the Revel system where you can run your AC for long periods, runs the fridge full time and allows for a portable (indoor/outdoor) induction cooktop? The inverter allowed us to live off the solar for multiple days with no generator. I like the changes to the RAM front end - has the engine or any other part of the chassis been modified? Thanks for the video & info - keep them coming!

Why would there be room to sleep up to 5 but only 4 seatbelts. Does not make much sense. There should be a way to allow more seating in the rear. Really like the design and details. Also cargo area is a great concept.

Great to see European inspired Camper Vans finally starting to hit the U.S. Market. However, they keep saying that Euro vans in the US is a "new" development. Seems they forgot about Erwin Hymer's Aktiv and Aktiv 2.0. Those where in the US Market in 2017 to 2019. Then they left the US market, of course after shaking up the US market. Which is why we are just now beginning to see Euro Vans coming to the U.S. I guess the European van builders realized the potential in the U.S. market. Provided, they could make a deal with the U.S. RV Cartels. Not to mention the fact that Americans have been asking loudly for euro vans. Since Americans where introduced to them with the Hymer Aktiv. Also, take a look at Wingamm out of Italy.
