Auto Trail To Launch A Class.

[Jonno1103]

So far there are only sneak peak images but the Grande Frontier is returning for 2021.

In the same way as the new F60 series Tribute range has leaned more toward a Euro layout found in the Benimar Tessoro and Roller Team T Line ranges, it's thought that the GF-70 will do the same possibly taking it's cue from the Pegaso & Amphitryon.

Auto Trail based in Grimsby already build the van conversion ranges for Benimar, Roller Team & Chausson. This model launch suggests that an even closer collaboration with fellow members of the Trigano Group in pending.

Didn't they have problem with the Grand Frontier bodywork alignment not sitting correctly?

I think there were several problems but I have looked at a couple after they had been sorted and the owners absolutely loved them, I thought they were a very nice van the interiors were lovely.

More importantly what is the bodywork/roof/floor construction, timber used?

 

[Speve]

No idea I’m sure someone on the forum will know what problems they had.

 

[Blue Knight]

Will they be as poorly built as their C-Class vans?

Autotrail used to build boats some time ago very rare to see one these days!

Unless you are a diver

 

[Garry - June]

Hope they don't fit those horrid Tectower cookers found in many continental A class..

 

[Jagtazman]

Someone posted, hopefully on the Ford

 

[DandG5515]

I wonder if it's going to be produced in Grimsby or my guess it will come off the rollerteam mobiletta production line

The Grand Frontier was on a Mercedes chassis

Autotrail are part of the Trigano group who have some brands other than those mentioned so far such as EuraMobil who like Autotrail only build motorhomes. Euramobil have gone totally to a non wood construction, sadly after my own was produced which has some wood used. So it could be produced anywhere Trigano have factories.

Swift. Tried with BelAir. not the greatest success?. But the General Humber Area could use the Production business. I understand from some local quarters, there have been a fair few lay-offs, not just "Chinese Virus" related either, in recent times.

You wouldn’t be saying that if you were 7ft tall

 

[Compactliner]

the Chausson, Roller Team, Benimar PVCs are effectively rebadged, retrimmed V-Lines...
its equally likely that the new 'Autotrail A class' will be a rebadged Roller Team, Chausson etc...

having bought an apache a few days ago, i feel like i have walked into the land of the giants... you NEED to be 7' tall to reach the fridge control and the front window, we have to use a broom to get that open .. talk about a flying brick.. wind resistance must be massive.

The clue is in the name!
The feathered headdress needs a fair amount of space!

At least they don't waste valuable storage space like those stupid great big cookers they use in Brit vans.
We nearly ordered a cooker in our current van but decided the TecTower was a better option and my wife is only 4'10".

I ordered a Thetford Spinflo oven and grill for our new van as it was the most powerful one I could find.
It so much better than any of the previous Dometic ones we've had.
I would seriously consider one of these in the future.
