SUPER COOL AMPHIBIOUS RV Woelcke Autark T5 Crosser Off Road 4x4 Campervan Motor Home

oh this is Patrick with New Jersey's outdoor adventures YouTube channel I'm here in a layer State Park in Farmingdale New Jersey and I just stumbled across this little camper van it's got foreign plates on it as a Volkswagen badging so I'm gonna go check this out so join me this is a Guido and where you from we are from Switzerland and we did a big trip from Argentina to Alaska and now we are here can you tell us a little bit about the vehicle you brought here yet we have a Volkswagen t5 chassis four-wheel drive diesel under 90 horsepower and the capping is custom made a small company in Germany built the cabin for us please take us to some of the features we have here yes we have a special dampers for approach and bias for offroad and we have these leading solar panels and 50 gallons fresh water ok and I see here these are pretty unique windows that we don't see too much but their dual pane it's like a lexan material yet double glass is from domestic cites windows remote most people me and is that a mosquito net that you just slide up and down you have the shade - yeah okay and what is this device over here this is the toilet polite cos it okay so I'm familiar with this type of system we use this here in pop ups you have yet fresh water for the toilet and okay and you just take this out and bring it up to the dump station up there yeah okay and it's approximately five gallons you think yeah and there's an event yeah okay and then electric that's this okay so we're not familiar with this type of connection here I guess this is uh this is 250 volts yes so you're not able to plug in here converter no cotton burger from 210 to 203 so transformer mega yeah okay so you use a transformer and then I see this camp site doesn't have any hookups here so are you running off of the solar now yeah we can stay two weeks without power there's no problem we have a compressor fridge and two solar panels are enough for the compressor bridge and what do you has to meet the wattage of those panels to be like I think you told us earlier it had solar is it like a hundred watt or 200 watt system to weld o'clock 200 why and how many you on the twenty to twenty and how many batteries do you have three three batteries for the cabin and one for the engine and is it a six volt 12 volt or 24 volt 12 volt okay and there are the lithium ion or aged lithium wow you got some good stuff over there this is I guess the the exhaust for the Troma yes and that's a true MIDI zl-- yet fired furnace and that does your domestic hot water as well wow this really has a lot of storage too you know and it's so well made I remember we imported through a company the Westphalia Germany yeah and the tooling and the precision everything was unbelievable yeah and you can see that here I'm just the way the compartment doors are put together it's got a double rib here and it's got yeah nice casket when we drive to the river we have no other in this tour äj-- really I get one three feet deep deep in the water so you're telling me this vehicle you could cross a Via Cavour and these compartments are designed in such a way you can have up to three flood yeah without penetration so that mean you can't go about this no no this is the idea Wow and you've tested it before that is unbelievable and and the four-wheel drive is is it an all wheel drive er okay yeah we have a differential locking okay also and that the mileage is 25 miles per gallon excellent yeah that is unheard of here and this looks like it's 22 to 23 foot long and the height the height is impressive this is a s it looks like it's under nine foot eight yeah yeah ten foot mat nine foot yeah and you know because you put this in a shipping container yeah yeah okay and around back here it looks like we have a heavy-duty tire mounted one here bar one on the floor really yeah oh wow look at that and there's no rust no no what year is this vehicle how old 2014 okay so it's relatively new and above here we have a backup camera okay and what is this this is a licen polite yeah patio light yeah okay and what does that bracket do above the cameras that three bracket your zet so water doesn't come down no no no excess it really and then these are just extra fuel tanks the range is 800 miles Wow and then there's no storage here in the back whatever is fixed onto this yeah lumen extrusion and these are just bolted and clamped in place so you could you could switch this up it so so if you wanted one water jug and one fuel to container and bike okay and is it expensive to ship motorhome across South America to Argentina Hamburg to Argentina $4,500 okay and we go back to Europe from Halifax the coast $2,500 and with the recent spurt of RVs in the United States are you finding difficulty finding campgrounds and campsites no no we can Minnie no cam counts in a South American middle America you have no campgrounds and on the west coast you can stay everywhere it's not a problem here I know they give you a hard time but this vehicle you could Park this on the street and really no one would I don't think anybody would complain and the width is is got to be seven and a half foot yeah okay most RVs are 8 foot or a 1/2 foot here and what is this pipe do across the back it's a for Switzerland it's a protect a motorbike or a bike and crashed from from from the rear side really yeah so that's common there's so many motorbikes yeah that's some compression the back here and what does that do it prevents the bikes from sliding underneath yeah Wow and what this is storage this one porous set what's on the other side yeah inside that is tremendous amount of storage yeah and it's a lidded lidded compartment yeah you can see here the tooling and the wood yes it's not particle board it's all plywood cabinet grade and they do laminate on both sides so there's no exposed wood yeah that's something you don't see too much in domestic RVs one sides finished one side is bare plywood or particle board yeah and I see these brackets here what do they do this is especially if you can cook inside and outside so it's for an outside grill yeah we have here the table we can hang on the table even the table is is excellently I love the way they tooled that edge now that is super cool on behalf also from pain and hot and cold water okay I'm familiar with this I've seen this same exact fitting on the Airstream this here is very nice this is made by Troma who made the the furnace but it's a neater way of hooking up propane but it looks like your fittings are a little bit different that's a quick disconnect yeah I like that it's a lot neater yeah and then this I'm familiar with I seen this on what Westphalia the same spelling of water but it's a lockable cap here for your pole water how many gallons do you think you have a 50 50 gallons by this table wow you know most of the tables that they have here any new yes they open the compartment here and it actually just clips on I like this because you can just a height in the angle then we have here propane cool beat Carlos okay so this is different than what we see here these would be maybe equivalent to a seven gallon or a 30 pound bottle by they have gauges on the side what's this refill the bottles from outside we have a Baptist or the whole world really yeah then that's suddenly you don't see in the United States the propane tanks have to be permanently built-in and there's one connection this looks like we have here for filling yeah but I think these are two separate bottles and they're aluminum which is more resilient these are steel bottles here in the US and they usually start rusting after three to five years I really like this system he imagine trying to find the right adapter for all whatever country and you have and then you have a thule awning here yeah it looks like there's a 10-foot and it has buckles in the body yeah that you can buckle it in or you could do like what you did table yeah you could stake them into the ground and this is brilliant this is where he store your yeah they're not on the ground and that comes off I look at the hardware yeah that we have here this is excellent look at how thick the door is is very good dies of light and this is what keeps the door locked in place I usually do plastic here this is this is all stainless steel and then this is the snorkel this is all part of being able to cross the river you know you get your three foot of water here but you don't want to suck any water into the engine and intake so if I kick my shoes off can you give us a tour of the inside yep okay I know we didn't take a look this Tooley step is unbelievable electric here Wow Airstream trailers have a little bit of step like that that's a manual step all the power steps that we see here yeah they're all metal and they rust yeah and they fade yeah this is great I love it so we have here a light menu go inside really nice switches - yeah even the steps which yep just a look of it off here very spacious for a small motor yeah and they call it a motor home there are caravan or what's this call - camper van Disick temperament care for her okay so I'm familiar with the de Matic we we see these every day sing everything saying that this is a metal force a lot of RVs in the United States have plastic yeah and they break and this is a pretty thick stainless steel sink oh look at the latches here you can 40 pounds really yeah and these are full extension yeah so you know some drawers they only come out to here and you can't reach what's in the back these are full extension excellent all right what we got here you you are very efficient on how you pack it yeah we got a cutting board we got some olive oil all the towels and everything you need all stuffed away look at this little area here and how its utilized excellent we have different lights so this is a mosquito light blue light so they can't get attracted to it they're not going to come in and you can it's all LED for the position huh Wow and how many you know how many amps you think that takes very minimal menu yes okay led what we have going on up here yes this is uh how we monitor our battery our fresh water our wastewater this is the main battery kill switch water pump yeah this here is something you added in other words this delight automatically light from outside and you come here the light goes on so that's what that that word means that's emotionally okay or you can separate whole lights um hmm this is stainless steel yeah this is nicely done what is this this is just the light oh look how bright that is just have a little tiny light and look at the ceiling it's not fuzzy carpet material it's smart it's fiberglass just like that's good we have some storage at the top here hmm look at the engineering of these liftarms yeah premium cars anything they sit a good job as for offroad yeah you think you're rattling and shaking we throw off 20,000 miles off roads that be oh nothing fellow no okay and then this is your your rear dinette yes also oh these are clever here Wow and that's gonna keep this down and prevent it from rattling when you're driving yeah and these hinges they're really nice hinges and this is the mosquito net before when we came in I guess if you had a little dog maybe and then we have a 12 volt socket here yeah and then what's the tool on the plan D okay 220 and these are shades we're talking about so we have here shade mosquito net and then you could separate them and just have nothing hmm and do you have this glued down yeah yep yeah okay up top here I'm familiar with this style vent but it's the same you got a mosquito net and you get the shape yeah and that's manual so there's no rain sensor yeah okay and this material here on the cushions this is pretty tough stuff it's almost like burlap tough yeah yeah so this is our living room and our bathroom all on one yeah we can get the table down that took approximately maybe 20 pounds of pressure so it's something that anybody could be capable of doing and you lay a flat sheet on top of that yeah okay and it all packs away when it's time to get up yeah and over the top of the bed we have some reading lights speakers and this is us be so rail for a privacy curtain yeah yeah okay then you took that out yeah all right and who did the designs in the back a little design from us yeah touch and here's another one of those lights yeah and these are just amazing no plastic it's all yeah you know it is plastic material it's not thin plastic and I hear the Waco refrigerator this is a compressor driven refrigerator so this is not an absorption refrigerator and so what someone might say this is a small refrigerator but look we have two things of soda here another big container some mayonnaise eggs this is packed very efficiently how many days worth of food do you think this is uh four or five days okay and this is approximately two and a half cubic foot I would estimate and then below that storage this is the pantry stored look at this everything is perfectly put in and then I see here what a pump maybe see these are labels for some system has an access channel to get to yeah and then underneath the bed that's the storage compartment we saw on the back yeah all right now this is uh Wow now I wasn't expecting this bathroom to be that big this is about 28 inches deep this way yeah and then from the toilet to this container which is removable yeah you about another 28 inches this is a very large air and this is what they call a wet bath and this greeting here lifts up and then there's a drain plug in this is a stainless steel pan so that's not gonna rust out okay and then here's the toilet we saw outside the little cartridge but I guess you just push that little lever on the side now we'll give you a flush you have another one of those windows with the shades some storage up a lot above yeah look at that you don't like think do all the plenty wall right in the cabinet yeah so you don't get electrocuted by your favor and then this shower curtain this goes all the way around and this is gonna cover this whole area so you don't have to get everything wet and then look at the hardware here this is adjustable I guess you press this button you could slide it up and down yeah and then you have a nice metal handle here and a little velcro to keep this rattling when you drive yeah I'll Drive you nuts all right and then over to cab this is another very large storage compartment this goes all the way back in and this is clever look at these containers yeah these aren't gonna make noise when you drive it and although they're all lined with carpet hmm we can close here but visit the car over it's urgent then you can close the door that's it that's important it's Newfield yeah it's closed wow that is so it to prevent theft or does that prevent what people sneaking outside yeah okay and then the flooring is a vinyl flooring and then the cab now we don't I'm not familiar with this Volkswagen vehicle here but there's no engine that stick yeah yes it's got a hood so you could get out of this seat while you're driving she could come back here and make lunch yeah right without trip yeah and this is a manual transmission this has six-speed transmission which you don't see here everything's automatic yeah and then there's your backup camera monitor and then seats I guess don't swivel because this is not part of the living space yeah Wow well I really appreciate you taking the time with me today to go through your vehicle this is by far one of the best engineered motorhome RVs I've seen in a while because everything looks the same here there's a lot of innovations we see from Europe yeah this is cool yeah is there any other things you want to share with us about this yeah if someone was to want to purchase one of these today yeah because there's a few years old what is the sticker price on something like this it's an expensive yeah like a hundred thousand or more on the 22 okay well that's common just motorhome like this yeah okay I was guessing two hundred thousand yeah just by the way everything was here yeah all right well excellent thank you very much well this is Patrick of New Jersey's outdoor adventures youtube channel I hope you enjoyed this vid please like this video comment
