Are there little wheels under the overhang? Some vehicles have them or is the ride height adjustable?
I've seen MHs that size built on the Iveco Daily chassis which have good ground clearance at the rear. Can I ask what chassis yours is built on?
Lovely bit of kit. What travels plans do you have?
Very nice, but not jealous, as it would not suit our MHoming style - the rear overhang for a start would give us major problems on steep Alpine and Pyrenees hairpins.

I had hoped to meet my brother in the Alps next summer but hadn't thought about the rear overhang being an issue. Is this something that could cause me issues? Any info welcomeI don't think I'd let that put me off!
Lordy that's a beast!
The amount of monthly depreciation would scare me to death though I'm afraid...
Well, you may like to hear this story. When we went to collect this Morelo, we spoke to the PA of the MD of the dealer (she spoke great english). She said they had just bought a Morelo back that they sold two years previously and for for the same money as the owner had paid for it new. Now, I'm not saying there is no depreciation but, if you consider the rate that the price of these MH's are increasing, it is almost as fast as the rate of depreciation.
It's about supply and demand. You have to wait 12 months to have one built to your own spec and not everyone is prepared to wait that long. Second hand values are really high. The UK market for motorhomes is said to have increased 26% last year so there are plenty of people out there looking (look at the rate of growth on this site). Morelo's really hold their value if you keep them nice (and I will). I do accept that a motorhome with a ticket price of €316,000 is a great deal of cash to spend but we have absolutely every conceivable extra on ours (except the in-built vacuum cleaning system and central locking on the locker doors (which I really wanted but just couldn't find one pre-built with everything we wanted)).

I think if you crank the ride height up and stick to the main routes you should be fine. The inside of hairpins can be ridiculously steep but the standard technique is to check there is nobody coming in the other direction and swing out wide. This what the trucks and buses do, its almost expected.I had hoped to meet my brother in the Alps next summer but hadn't thought about the rear overhang being an issue.

Friends of ours had a 7 ish metre Arto and couldn’t get up their road without grounding out so thought a 8.5 metre Flair would be out of the question so we took our to try “no problems” saying that the Ones with wheels on the chassis seem to ground purely because the wheels are too low.Very nice, but not jealous, as it would not suit our MHoming style - the rear overhang for a start would give us major problems on steep Alpine and Pyrenees hairpins.

....... so we took our to try “no problems” saying that the Ones with wheels on the chassis seem to ground purely because the wheels are too low.
When you look at the effort Morelo go to, in terms of understanding exactly what you would need for extended trips (a few years or so......), and then delivering a superb vehicle; I think you can understand exactly where the all the cash goes. It must be very rewarding working for a company such as Morelo. Love itWell, you may like to hear this story.

I’m liking your approach and something both my wife and I are working towards later on in our chapter.We plan to travel all around Europe maybe even going full time in a couple of years. We will be looking for the perfect place to retire, no rush, just taking our time. That's why we needed a large MH as "she who must be obeyed" said "if we're going to do this, I'm not slumming it"! Job done I reckon!
I would love to get back to Iceland with this Morelo (see our blog at ourmorelolife.com to see why). My son worked out that there is a ferry from Denmark, it takes 3 days and costs €2,000 so that may have to go to the back of the queue for a while. But what an amazing place; I simply loved it there.
