We have a Globecar Campscout - I think it is a bit longer (6.36m). Brilliant van. Absolutely love it. I do regret not getting the comformatic gearbox, we just have poor mans manual.

We so nearly bought a Globecar 600L (as opposed to the 'Revolution' version). They are a lovely van - in fact all the Globecars are. But in the end, for a variety of reasons, we finally settled on a Rapido V68 with Comfortmatic.

Hope you enjoy the new van.

Hi,
Im a Globecar Campscout (R)evolution owner as of the last few weeks. We changed from a lot bigger van and love the convenience of a panel van and love the extra height of the (R)evolution and the flexibility of the layout.

Nice looking van

 

[Theonlysue]

What a great Christmas pressie lol

We have the longer version of pretty much the same van.
We love the extra height as it makes the space feel so much bigger. There is extra space in the top lockers also.

We have added insulation to the doors as the tear doors have no insulation it's a good idea to do it. We will do the cab doors also.

I read that the lack of insulation in the doors was intentional and if it were added, it caused issues with anti- corrosion warranty as it encouraged dampness to lie in the door cavity

 

[Garfields]

The high roof was the main reason we first considered a Globecar
Im sure you will not be disappointed once the wait is over

When we purchased urs from the same dealer in Germany we added the winter pack, this included a full length insulation mat for the interior of the back door. So far very pleased with it, view from inside with insulation in place.

Forgot to say it actually goes all the way to the floor with zips for access to the garage area.

When we purchased urs from the same dealer in Germany we added the winter pack, this included a full length insulation mat for the interior of the back door.

We didn't order the winter pack with ours, but when the van arrived, there it was! It also includes a heater for the grey waste tank, with a switch up by the control panel that isn't marked, is identical to the other switches & has to be looked at twice to see whether it's on or off. The heater control panel itself has a little red LED that lights up when it's on, but is installed out of sight in the under-dinette seat locker space. You can guess where this is going!

Sure enough, it got turned on by accident & resulted in a flat battery. Switch is now taped in the off position with matching insulation tape. Realistically, only useable when on EHU. Not used it once (intentionally!) in 3 1/2 winters yet. I do use the insulation mat at the rear though. Works well, even though it is a bit of a pain when you need to be in the garage - which we do a lot because that's where the wheelchair travels. I only put it up the other day for the first time this winter. If the forecast stays as it is at the moment, I might put it away again for this weekend, because it's hardly winter weather.

 

[gerry mcg]

We have the Winter Pack ordere as well, so hopefully something similarly is included.

We don't have a 'winter' pack on ours but have used it in sub-zero temperatures and the only thing that was a bit of an issue was the slight draught that came through the rear doors where they join if the wind is in a certain direction, soon solved that with a length of foam pipe insulation which fits perfectly in the gap and stays in place on it's own. I also made some insulated pads for the rear door windows (out of an old internal windscreen insulated screen) because the existing concertina blinds are just too easy to damage on a night time if they get hit with the bedding and make a hell of a noise if you do! The pads are easy to put on/take off and obviously add some insulation to the windows, I've also made a pad for the window at the end of the bed too which can be used it looks like it's gonna get really cold overnight. I already had pads for both roof vents which I used in our previous PVC as well which give insulation, from both the cold and the heat too, and on a night time they block out the light much better than the blinds so I don't end up getting woken by light creeping round the sides.

If we are going to go away in winter I quickly put in some thermal curtains on a push/twist fit shower rod that fits nicely just inside the rear doors but obviously in warmer weather I just take them out - as we often have to open the rear doors for stuff having a more permanent rear 'pad' arrangement just wouldn't work for us.
