into the unknown! Fleurette motor homes? (1 Viewer)

[steve the chip]

Part of buying one of the Fluerette range is that they ask you over to the factory in La-Rochelle for a tour to see how they put them together, looking forward to that when we can get over there.

Hi Bobnick, is that your blue jag or have you blagged a photo!
lovely looking motor.

Hi Steve, indeed it is my pride and joy. Almost concourse.

 

[steve the chip]

Wow, well done you!
the closest I can get was my similarly coloured Triumph Spitfire, that was many years ago and I regret the day I sold it, great days ,great car. Just a quick note, not long ago I worked for the son of the designer of the E type who lives near Stratford on Avon, he has originals and prototypes in a large workshop, I counted 9 in various stages of rebuild.

Although part of the Rapido Group , this company I think started life as furniture or Cabinet makers , is the Frame made of wood ? I love their design , but , can't justify buying one at present

They were actually boat builders.and been building motor homes for fifty years. And the build quality is stunning.

We visited Wandahome outside Hull and were very impressed. Sadly a little pricey for us

When I started this little thread I was wondering whether we should take the plunge and commit to buying something a little unknown, I must say we are happy to report we haven’t been disappointed. So I thought I would put a snap of our florium here ( perched in our back garden) so that anyone looking at buying has a another choice of motorhome available. I must say ( being a carpenter/ joiner) I find the build quality very good.
And yes, I do drive it through that garage to park it at the rear of our house.

Nice to see another rear bathroom model as I wasn't aware that fleurette offered any. It is a very similar layout to my Burstner 680g and I think this layout optimises the sub 7m space for a couple.

I will gladly put some internal pics on if anyone is interested in seeing them?

No vid for me. Just a picture of a strange lady having a brew

Just been on their web site. Like what i see. Need to look more and ask question so sent Wanderhomes a mail as the "say" they have some.
The 74 LTS looks good, however a slightly bigger one would suit better.

What do you recon to the build quality??

Our 69LO is well designed, the new version is now slightly shorter and a little different inside eg the TV positioned has moved away from the kitchen area where it was a 32” but now is much smaller near the entrance door, but very happy with build and finish, it isn’t a flimsy internal construction and you can compare colours and looks to Pilote and Rapido, we looked at the Pilote but the sliding bathroom entrance door was plastic, very awkward and non- sliding and that put doubts in my mind as to the rest of the materials used.
We bought at the NEC and the request for an awning, bbq point, extra power socket,spare wheel, alarm, mud flaps was duly accepted without additional cost.
So far so good with Wanderhomes, three phone calls whilst on sites with resetting heating system and other bits resulted in tech dept quickly responding and very helpful, not yet had cause to use their response to replacements or repairs but I’m sure I will pass on any experiences I may have.

Thanks Steve, very helpful. As mentioned waiting for Wanderhomes to come back to me to confirm they have in stock to look at.
Will revert.

Just Mr Googled them. Nice looking vans. Couldn't find prices.

I‘ve found, as a general rule, if you can’t find the prices, they‘re too expensive for me!

 

[Capn zlog]

does anybody own or know anything about fleurette motor homes build quality as we have found the perfect layout but know zero about the make

I have owned a 2001 for about 9 years. Great van built on an Alko frame with a 2.8 fiat engine. Toured France and Spain and the Uk without too many problems. DVLA were slow in re registering it in the UK but sound engineering! Would recommend!

Have to say we love our M L F magister, not cheap and it seems wandahome are now sole suppliers in the uk and next years quota is not very many.
once you get used to the control panels it’s easy peasy ,and when you put the heating system on make sure your sat down as the power is huge and warms the motorhome in minutes.

Our magister came in at 3160 kg thats with solar panel and nine speed auto gearbox.think the mayflower is the A class model but still very similar weight.
we tell everyone ours is a two berth as we don’t want to share it.
