After 2020 and over £40k

It's been doing the shows for some time now as a teaser, I guess to gauge market reaction.

Yuk, you could get a mint splittie for under £40k.

 

In fact I checked and that seems to be the going rate for a restored one.

And it looks like the Splittie (or a bay window too) will have more rearmost row leg room based on that pic!

270 miles range is limiting for a motor caravan and I bet it would be less than that if configured as a motor caravan rather than a poshed-up people mover. And the in-cabin  controls shown in video look as if they will be power hungry.

 

My first leg of the annual holiday journey is usually near 400 and has been 600 mile in a day - and that's considered "Lightweight" as regards dedicated motor caravanners.

 

What it needs is demountable generator  for the long journey legs and partionable battery banks that can be switched between charge and discharge whilst the thing is moving.

Build the things if they can, all Electric, and then sell them,

or just get new adverts produced for the 'Re-imagined Air Cooled V-Dubs' putting the Bought Back 2009-2015 TDI's back on the road with Rolling Coal stickers and 'Make America Great Again Trump for King!'.

 

Maybe do something like this.
