Fiat-Based 4-Person Motorhome Has a Dry Bathroom That Pops Out of Nowhere

Furgok is a Spanish builder of compact motorhomes – usually vans, converted professionally into mobile homes that are as suitable for long-term residency as they are for family vacations. The Pamplona-based builder brings something new to the table in terms of the idyllic vanlife: a layout that's able to fit in every creature comfort despite the compact footprint by means of versatile and highly modular spaces.

The Xpace 600+, one of the most recent additions to the lineup, is proof of that. The "+" in the name stands for extra height, while the "600" is for the length of the van. This is a very compact motorhome, at just 600 cm (19.6 feet) long, but it still offers belted seats for four people during transport and as many berths for sleeping at night.

It also has a full kitchen, a lounge slash dining area, and a full bathroom, which is more than most vans that aspire to help you get onto the #vanlife bandwagon can boast of. Everything is wrapped in a stylish and durable package, allowing the builder to boast of being able to deliver "the van of your dreams."

The Xpace 600+ uses a Fiat Ducato chassis with a height of 2.9 meters (9.5 feet), which makes it ideal for taller vanlifers but also for overpackers. Because of the extra space up top, you get extra cabinets for storage, including a sizable one in the cabover area and a couple over the kitchen.

The layout seems fairly standard at first sight but, in reality, there's nothing standard about it thanks to the Furgok patented Dynamic Spaces system that makes a full bathroom pop out seemingly out of nowhere. The front seats swivel to face a two-seat row and form the dining and lounge area. You get an expandable table here, as well as storage under the rear seats.

The kitchen is right across. It has a drop-down counter that expands available workspace, and a single-piece Corian countertop with a built-in sink with a very residential vibe. Also included are a two-burner gas range and a large electric fridge with freezer, as well as an automatic drop-down coffee station for those who can't even process the idea of starting the day without their caffeine fix.

The bedroom is at the rear, though you might not see it at first. It can actually be a double bedroom as an option, if you choose to get the extras that turn the two facing benches that extend and join to form a queen bed.

Overhead is the standard drop-down automatic queen bed, which lowers over the benches at night and retracts into the ceiling during the day. If you opt not to have the second lower bed, that space serves as the garage and is large enough to fit a pair of e-bikes and heaps of assorted gear, including in chests built into the two benches.

The bathroom is hidden in plain sight in the middle of the van, thanks to a patented feature. It's somewhat similar to what Knaus Tabbert did on the Tourer CUV (Caravaning Utility Vehicle) in the sense that it's an expanding bathroom that comes into shape once you pull walls and pocket dividers. A graphic representation of how this Dynamic Space works is included below.

Basically, you pull a wall to form a divider between the bathroom and the living room and kitchen. The washbasin and the shower basic are on one side of the van, while the toilet sits on an automated slide under the fridge. The sink and shower tray are foldable, and the latter gets an anti-bacterial, magnetic, weighted curtain that ensures you won't make a mess in the space.

Another divider separates the bathroom from the garage slash bedroom, so you can use the toilet and shower even when there's someone in there. An outdoor shower is also available, with hot and cold water.

The Xpace comes with a 120-liter (32-gallon) tank for freshwater and a 90-liter (24-gallon) for gray, a 3-kg (6.6-lb) canister for gas for the 8-liter (2.2-gallon) water heater and the stove. The fridge is electric, but the space heater runs on diesel. The Xpace boasts a new digital switchboard for the resource management system, offering a clear view at battery levels and whatever's left in the tanks.

The motorhome is fully insulated and moisture-proof, and boasts high-quality finishes with leatherette walls and ceiling, plywood two-tone furniture with soft-close, and wear-resistant gray flooring. No word on whether Furgok accepts any customization requests, but we assume some can be accommodated if the budget allows it.

Since we're on the topic of money, the Xpace 600+ is obviously going to cost you some. Furgok products are available through a network of dealers in Europe, and this particular variant retails for upwards of €87,000, which is approximately $95,400 at the current exchange rate. The finest things in life might come free of charge, but a motorhome isn't among them.
