MORELO bound (again) (3 Viewers)

[funflair]

Only if you got legs down IMO Martin otherwise a strong gust could damage the mountings

I am happy with it pegged down and legs on the side as the loads are pretty minimal actually.

You are an experienced and highly regarded Funster and l know you are well aware.It is merely an observation.

 

[Flairy]

Thankyou.

Not much to report really other than the temperature went from 28 degrees to 12 degrees overnight with a bit of thunder and lightning and a lot of rain last night, oh and this passed through last night,

You might have to zoom in a bit but it’s a guy walking with what looks like a 4 wheel trailer or possibly even a small caravan.

A cycle ride today to somewhere unpronounceable and equally uninspiring and then back to watching the boats go bye,

The trouble is most of them are too long to get in the photo, oh and that the cement work on the other side

To be fair this would be a nice spot on a sunny day as you can launch a canoe and then paddle over the river to where it splits and there is a canoe lift/lock to get you into the sportboot area which is separated from the main shipping canal.

Could it be a prototype for Morelo? They did say big changes are coming at Dusseldorf

No this is the new base chassis Jon,

 

[funflair]

Are them rear hatches powered or manual
I’m guessing they’re fairly heavy?
Can you get into the motorhome from in there?

Sorry missed your question, yes they are powered and no I don’t think you can get to the inside from the garage space.

Another day on the bike and reasonably sunny as well, 25 miles on cycle tracks and coffee and cake back in Volkach before a bit of shopping.

Leaving tomorrow but another place to put on the list to come back to as the river cruise might be nice and we still haven’t got the canoe out.

 

[funflair]

This must have been a couple of days ago as we haven’t had a shadow since then

Dettelbach overlooking the Maine.

Cycled to Volkach where we had left a few days ago, had a ride through the Stellplatz and this little beauty was there MAN pusher jongood, not as big as it looks in the photo either.

 

[Flairy]

Very tasteful

You usually give a lot more info than that . At least make, model and length please, then we can look up more.

Good grief Martin, ie, crocs and socks?

Oooooooh, I do like that.

Cheers,

Jock.

Vario-Mobil Perfect, so that’s next model up from the entry level Star, it’s on a MAN pusher (rear engine) chassis, length and or age not sure but it will be a good few years old but looks lovely.

Its allright Geoff, I know very well what it is "traummobil"

Its will be on a 11-220 HOCL, rear engine MAN Coach chassis so 11t gvw 220hp 6 cylinder, probably with a 5 sp ZF Auto. 9.5m x 2.5x 3.4 Im guessing. Downside is the garage is quite small although it has underfloor lockers.

I’m no fashion victim Jock, needed the long socks on the bike as it was cold that’s the best excuse I can think of anyway

That’s better than I could have come up with Jon but it looked lovely for sure, I think it would have a wide but very shallow “garage”.

Crocs & long socks on a bike, no hope for you.

One needs ones crocs to get to the garage to dress for said cycling activity

Wearing short socks now BTW as it’s warmed up a bit (he lied) bloody big coat on today

I got it in the neck today as I put socks on with sandals but with long trousers on the Pont Aven coming back to Plymouth from Santander as I reckoned it might be cold and my trainers are less comfortable than the sandals! Margaret took a picture and decided I was a Saddo, when telling the family! I gave my Clark Cable response - Frankly my dear I don't give a damn!

Might be in for a shock 21° today on the coast in Sussex.

Vario did sell a clever hydraulic contraption to side load the scooter

Oh dear we're still away, are we going to miss the UK Summer

Heres one for Kilroy
A bit on the big side but a 911 in the garage by way of compensation

 

[Flairy]

Very nice

Arrived at the factory mid day today,

MORELO as far as you can see, including a rather rare dark grey one,

Couple of pictures from a little wander around but sure I will find more interesting stuff over the next few days as it hasn’t really started yet, up early doors for a bike ride tomorrow.

 

[TinaLes]

I/we are all dying to see you & Jen riding that weird contraption of a Bike, We see it parked up, Jen by the side maybe, but never a picture of you both riding it...Video would be even better
Not many would notice the Crocks with socks I bet, well not at first anyway.
Have Fun.

Chatting with a guy from the factory last night and asked "so when are we going to see an electric MORELO ?" he laughed and said he couldn't see it happening, he added that they have looked at an electric chassis but ruled it out as not practical firstly from a build perspective as the batteries would be where they wanted all their tanks etc and secondly from a range and charging infrastructure perspective.

It's going to be sandals, without socks today as the sun is shining

Is that a Palace Liner without a customer? I thought there was a 2 year wait, wonder what the story there is?
