Peter Vaughan spends three days with the Campervan of the Year 2023, the Globe-Traveller Voyager Z, which has just arrived in the UK. Based on a Fiat Ducato or Peugeot Boxer, this Polish campervan has numerous unique features. It has a very clever roof bed, an extra high roof, a redesigned rear with tailgate and garage, automotive-style seating and a washroom with separate shower. And it’s all finished to a top-quality standard. Watch our review to see why it’s a worthy winner.

The fiat series 8 is great.
The biggest improvement in my book is reduced engine noise but the electric parking brake is a boon in a camper
Not for us. Terrible roof light at front. Presumably you could fit air-con in the rear roof light position, then how dark would that be in the main bed area. Is it curtains on some side windows? Ugh. No Oven!! Sorry not a patch on our Adria Twin Supreme 640 SGX. Just how is this van voted best campervan.?
Surely the “terrible roof light” is the one nearly everyone fits? Yes, I guess you could fit roof air-con but few will (I’d prefer to look into a unit mounted in the garage, so as not to add weight high up). No curtains on side windows, but the cab (coldest area) can be curtained off (as well as Remis cab blinds) – a great feature for really cold nights.
We’re big fans of the Twin range (and the new 600 SX would have been in the running, had Adria got one to the NEC show) but there’s no double floor, separate shower or rear tailgate (replacing Fiat’s ill-fitting, draughty barn doors). And, if you want to take kids in a Twin, you’ll need a Sports model with cold pop-top – they’d freeze in winter!
So, there are plenty of reasons why the Globe-Traveller is a very worthy winner.
I’m American and ALL of our campervans SUCK! Compared to European. 😮💨
Let’s hope that Thor learn from their European brands then – for your sake!
@MotorhomeCampervan I am pessimistic about that. I mean why offer better products and more choices, when they can get away with offering the same old thing. They know the US market is not going to demand it because we can’t demand what we don’t know about. US RV manufacturers only started offering Lithium based non-gas generator systems. After Erwin Hymer came here and shook up the US market.
Ok it’s expensive but I am literally in love!!!Honestly
Obviously, we love it, too. Can’t remember the last time a new brand arrived here and impressed so much first time out
They need to do away with the rear cuboard doors above the bed, like in the malibu so you sit up.
Let’s hope they’re listening!
noninnovative, just another old van design sad. what was the award for? is tis the best on offer for vans?
I think there’s quite a bit of innovative design here. I’ve not seen a roof bed like this before and the redesign of the rear of the Fiat van, the travel seats, the double floor and the separate shower all put it ahead of most rivals. Plus, the build quality is superb
Very nice van. It must be nice, it won campervan of the year for a year that didn’t even get here yet.
The year has only just arrived but, as far as the motorhome industry is concerned, the 2023 season was launched to the dealers and press in June 2022 and to the public at Düsseldorf in September. Soon, we’ll be seeing 2024 models…
Does the camper van comes with Morrison’s Granola as standard or is it an option?
I’m sure ES Hartley would include the granola if you ask nicely!!!
Shame how far behind the U.S. is… no real innovations. They really need to start paying attention!
Maybe Rapido Group owning Roadtrek and Thor owning Erwin Hymer Group will see more European-style design come to the US market
Why do no vans in the US have the ceiling bed like this? it really opens up the floorplan for more options.
Think I’d find that rear space claustrophobic without a rear-window – makes it very enclosed and dark. Some clever features there though, albeit at a super-premium price.
Surely, you have the blinds closed much of the time in the bedroom anyway? There are windows on each side, a rooflight and plenty of artificial lighting, so it’s not a big issue.
Lots of clever features to make up for it, anyway, as you say!
Good review of a nice camper. But strange: The year 2023 has just started and there already is a winner of 2023.
That’s the motorhome market for you. It’s an annual cycle. New 2023 models were shown to dealers and press last June, and went on sale in Europe in September (Düsseldorf show). We’re already receiving invites to see the 2024 season models…
Great review video and super nice van.
Thanks! 👍
I find the campervan of the year award to be dubious and suspect. I mean it’s built on a ‘fix it again tony’ and this video was put out before 2023 even arrived, much less had a chance to show anything else for the 2023 year. I tend to block channels that make outrageous claims in their captions, because if they are willing to start the conversation with a lie then everything they say after that should hold the same value, and I just don’t like wasting my time on liars.
A bit strong. The Campervan of the Year award is from the UK’s leading publisher of motorhome/campervan content, including MMM magazine (a best seller for over 50 years), What Motorhome, Campervan magazine and outandaboutlive.co.uk
It is a 2023 award because that’s how the motorhome industry works. The 2023 models started appearing last June and were available to the public from the Düsseldorf show in September and the NEC show in the UK in October. In the specialist press, we’ll soon be seeing 2024 season models!
As for Fiat, it is still the best-selling chassis for campervans of this size by a country mile. At times, the Fiat Ducato has claimed well over 80% of the entire European motorhome market!
No outrageous claims here, just unbiased reviews. I, personally, have been reviewing motorhomes for almost 40 years.
Nice video and nice to hear of any cons !
