Hope to replace the motorhome in April next year we thought we knew want we wanted a Carthago Chic C-Line I 4.9 A Class Fiat 180 3.0L Automatic.
We have been told Fiat are no longer doing the 3.0 litre engine and replacing it with the 2.3 litre 180bhp Euro 6 engine
On a 4500KG motorhome I am thinking it will be underpowered your thoughts please
We could go for old new stock with 3.0 litre engine but we want a left hand drive and no overcab bed so we will have to order it , there is a few in Germany but with the £ falling so fast it might cost more .
We do have a back up plan looking at a Hymer M-LI 620 with the 3L Merc engine something like a 3.0L CDI V6 190hp it comes in cheaper than the Carthago even with a load of factory extra’s fitted .
Not sure if its worth getting the Rear axle full air suspension 5,875 euros any one who has bought a new hymer what would you recommend factory fitted and what was a waste of time if any .
I did read the thread below and some very good points raised
