MORELO bound (again) (5 Viewers)

[bigtree]

I find the aguti seats uncomfortable, normal coachbuilt seats I find more comfortable I think a Frankia type rear lounge set up would suit us down to ground, all the comfort complete with a garage, and no one can drive it off whilst you’re sleeping

But not a garage tall enough for a motorbike.

 

[funflair]

Pleased you tried it, can you now take a Volkner with a Volvo pusher and I shift out for a spin and report back to us please

Not if I have to open my wallet first, we would fails the test gig time.

would you have a rear lounge layout ? It’s not for me but someone must love them.

Looks like a nice sociable area with the lounge and big kitchen space and the standard cab has it’s merits but NO too many other compromises.

Yes, I struggle with seeing the benefit of rear lounges.
I cant get over sacrificing the best seats in the house (the Captain’s chairs) for what are, essentially, bench seats.

Ian

As above.

Do you still get a garage that can take a decent size motorbike ?

No not really that’s just one of the compromises.

Wouldn’t matter to me, I haven’t got a motorbike, my biking days are over, the 350 Honda scooter will do me

interesting exercise though that had to be done.

I'm glad you got it out of your system Martin. My only experience of Euro Cargos, has been with 7.5 tonners, which weren't as nice to drive as the MAN or Mercedes equivalents.

I like the idea of the luxurious rear lounge, with the twin beds over the cab, without having to drop them down. SWMBO wouldn't be happy with that though.

Cheers,

Jock.

Yes hard work pushing them bikes on a recovery truck

So today was the day, an appointment with a bank balance busting Loft Liner on 4 cylinder Eurocargo, sorry WESTY66 ours won’t be on the market anytime soon Jen did say I could have one if I wanted but she wasn’t coming with me might as well take up Jim ’s suggestion and go PVC if that happens.

I know jongood and Dutch 68 amongst others were not convinced about the Eurocargo so now is you chance to say “told you so” compared to our Palace on the Daily chassis it was certainly “agricultural” I know this had more torque but our Daily feels a lot more sporty and sprints through the 8 speed box like a knife through butter, the ride on the Eurocargo was not as composed as ours with full air and active damping, interesting exercise though that had to be done.

Yep, exactly how I described it when I drove one about 3 years ago. It also seemed very loud. The only advantage over the Merc was the ability to spec the removable steering wheel with the Ivecos’ which is not available on the Merc. However, I later found that the automatic retraction of the Merc wheel creates enough space to turn the driver seat freely. I see that Morelo have now dropped the Iveco option in the Palace range, only Merc option from this year.

Have not removed my steering wheel for about 18-24 months now as I find I can just about spin the drivers seat around without moving its position.

Are you staying out overnight round here or is it a quick in/out in the day?

Take ours off after every trip Mark. Where we come from you trust no one and I live by that. We were on a remote-ish Scottish RSPB site today with just 3 other cars in the carpark and the dislock was put on the steering wheel, and that was just the car.

What’s a Hardly?

It’s a contraction of ‘Hardly Ableson’, a term of endearment (ridicule) for Harley Davidson.

Not thought about it Ady, may stay somewhere then head back on Saturday.

 

[Flairy]

Ah spent all my time on my knees with my Harley putting bits back on but still enjoyed riding it like Carl Rayborn and it was an electra glide.

 

[TheAleMan]

Knowing Mark it’s a quick in and out.

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Thinking back about the removable steering wheel I have had not had hardly any issues with my adaptive cruise since I have not been removing it.

It goes in tight curves Mark, proved this many times now.

Mmm, can’t say I noticed Steve, have had the odd time lately where I turn it off and on with the wheel buttons but not as before where I had to stop and turn the engine off and on again

Mine does it without cruise control even activated Mark, so can eliminate that as far as mine is concerned

Personally, I always prefer jacks down and satellite up, before wheel off…..but we all have our own little routines!!
