5-seater van with compact dimensions - a novelty from the Randger range

5-seater van with compact dimensions - a novelty from the Randger range – main image

We have presented the Randger brand many times on the pages of our portal. This French manufacturer, belonging to the Trigano concern, has been conquering the European camper van market for several years. Ergonomics, interesting interior layouts and Trigano 's know-how are undoubtedly one of the greatest advantages of the manufacturer.

How does Randger surprise us this time?

Randger R555 is a motorhome-van based on Fiat Ducato , it can travel up to 5 people. It is not a matter of course in this type of vehicle. Up to 6 travelers can find a place to sleep here. The interior layout is extremely thoughtful and practical. Taking into account the quality of workmanship and extensive standard equipment, we are dealing with one of the most interesting novelties in this market segment. In addition, all this at an affordable price.

Randger drive and dimensions

In terms of propulsion, there are versions of the well-known 2.3JTD Multijet engine with 140, 160 or 180 horsepower available in the Randger 3 camper van , the recently introduced extremely successful 9-speed automatic transmission is available as an option. The car is 288 cm high, 205 cm wide and only 599 cm long (!). Such dimensions make the motorhome not only maneuverable, but also translate into a relatively low curb weight and much lower fees, e.g. on ferries. Also in the case of using a vehicle with a trailer, we gain an agile and handy set to drive (with quite a lot of towing capacity).

Everything at hand in the camper van

The kitchen to the left of the entrance is equipped with a sink and a two-burner stove, below we have three spacious drawers equipped with high-quality fittings and a Dometic compressor refrigerator with a capacity of 110 l.

Interestingly, an electric absorber is installed above the stove, which is offered as standard equipment in this camper van. On the side of the kitchen block there is a foldable worktop extension. Between the kitchen and the sleeping area there is a central monitoring system for on-board systems. An easy-to-read, black display with contrasting LEDs indicates the battery charge level, the level of clear and gray water and the power source.

Next to it there is a TRUMA 4 D system controller (the heating source in the Randger motorhome is diesel), a car 12 V socket and a double USB socket. In total, we have 4 USB sockets and 2 230 V sockets.

The motorhome is factory-equipped with a wide, electric step, external shower, mosquito net for the side door and thermal curtains for the rear door.

The bathroom layout was solved very practically in a small space. We have a comfortable shower cubicle here, with a cassette toilet that moves along the wall and a pull-out washbasin at the same time. Perfectly used space and one of the best layouts we've seen in camper vans .

Sleeping and storing in a motorhome

The rear bed is placed transversely and measures 186 x 132 cm. The bed in the front part, which is obtained after rebuilding the seats, has the dimensions of 183 x 114 cm. The electrically lowered bed above it is the largest in the entire vehicle and measures 197 x 132 cm.

It is difficult to talk about comfortable sleeping conditions for six adults, including a camper van . However, families with children should not have a problem with sleeping the whole gang. Fitting the living space for 6 people on board the less than 6-meter camper van is, of course, a compromise, there is no point in even cheating anyone. The manufacturer, realizing that the need for luggage space also goes along with the number of people, decided to enlarge the cabinets on the side of the legs in the back. We can even find a place for clothes on hangers. There is a shelf and luggage space under the rear bed. At the rear of the motorhome there is also a compartment for 2 gas cylinders, 6 kg each.

General impression of the Randger motorhome

The entire vehicle fits really solidly, and the wide range of standard equipment positively surprises. Practical accessories and solutions, such as an electrically lowered bed, Remis front blackout blinds, hidden in the premium Dometic / Seitz SR7 window or a table handle on the outside of the vehicle translate into comfort of use. The driver's position and the front passenger's position are comfortable thanks to the aircraft seats with armrests. The basic equipment of the vehicle includes electrically controlled and heated mirrors, cruise control, Traction +, 2 airbags, on-board computer, air conditioning and a spare wheel (with a factory lift).

As mentioned above, due to its dimensions, it is not a camper van for long trips for a group of adult travelers. On the other hand, families with children or couples who occasionally host additional passengers will surely appreciate the possibilities of interior arrangement. The possibility of choosing from as many as 7 body colors and two modern combinations of upholstery colors leaves a lot of room for personalization.

Tonke - a campervan full of surprises
At first glance, we are dealing with an ordinary, standard Volkswagen T6. Even the first look inside may not be enough to believe that the model from the Dutch company Tonke is something more than a van ... And yet!. Tonke creates camping bodies mainly on the Mercedes chassis. However, while the models based on the Sprinter stand out because their rest zones resemble railway wagons, the Van model, based on the Volkswagen Transporter , is much more discreet. The manufacturer compares its smallest motorhome to ... a Swiss Army knife . The point is probably that it can be disassembled and thus made practical, and even quite spacious, although it does not indicate this after folding.

Karmann Dexter Go!
What takes the most space in a motorhome? Probably armchairs! What if their number was limited to two? This is what the designers of the Dexter Go! 600. Most motorhomes are planned for two parents and two children. Subsequently, further versions are prepared, with more or less passengers in mind. Karmann reversed that approach. He prepared a camping car based on a van, intended from the beginning as a car for two. In this motorhome, we will not find a couch or a bench added to the table. Instead, there is a fold-out table top attached to the seats in the driver's and passenger's cabin. To get a bite, simply turn the seats 180 degrees.

Fiat believes in the future of camper vans
Fiat decided to take advantage of the fact that Ducato is the most popular base for campers and prepared its own vision of a tourist car called 4x4 Expedition. The effect is very interesting. The manufacturer approached the matter professionally and invited several companies to cooperate in the construction of his studio camper. Tecnoform took care of the recreational equipment, Dangel - the four-wheel drive, and Olmedo is the company that took care of the appropriate external appearance of the Ducato 4x4 Expedition version.
