Take five and see what your medium size motorhome could be fitted out with. Some of these innovations including the salesman are first rate. How do the American's do it so well leaving the European's in their wake. Given the choice what would you like to see in your European motorhome.....

Import taxes and tariffs applied to these vehicles on import really put the price up, But If we ever get that trade deal with the States then look out for a lot of these B class yanks being imported. Why wouldn't you, bang for buck at every price point yanks have always made better motorhomes than Europe. Now they are not styling the interiors on a 1970s Laura Ashley catologues, even better.

So many but love the size of that sturdy bed even usable with the slide in. The idea of the TV still being visible when stowed is another great idea.

He seemed to know his stuff ...... ;) Very nice van, although not sure about the drawers/cupboard in the galley - one would have to be closed before you opened the other.

Cliff liked the telly .... :rolleyes:

No thanks, I'll stick to my Carthago ... at least I've still got a lounge when the beds are deployed.

Love it - looks nice and compact yet offers so much. I would love one. Great salesman too - enthusiastic without being overbearing.

I have a Thor (the people that bailed out the Hymer group) 27B What I love about my compact little camper is that the bedroom slide allows us to have a Super King Size walkaround bed, with bedside tables either side for tea and coffee

I think that glass double glazing, slide outs and hydraulic jacks which are luxury items in the UK are entry level on American vans

I guess that the standard of living generally is higher in the states so what is considered essential is different on the two Continents

For example I don't need a Ice maker, but its great to have (y)

The British motorhome industry could learn a lot from watching this video, certainly makes you realise just how shoddy we are treated and how overpriced our products are.

No ta, some may need that as they produce more sh*t (physically and verbally) than others but we don't so our Carthago with its cassette toilet will do us fine, although for honesty I must admit we do carry a spare cassette just in case we need it but haven't as yet over the last few years.

As for the air con - nah, hubby would just be messing about with it all the time and wanting it on the cool setting whereas I'd want it on the heat setting anyway so it would never get used.

Not much good when using aires as we do as you're not supposed to have 'camping activity' and although it is possible to do this surreptitiously with a non-slide MH I think someone would notice the big sticky out box bits on an RV!

Well after thirty years of touring Europe in RV's motorway service areas, Aires, Municipal sites we have never had an issue, and I doubt that anyone would, however, not that it would be a problem as we have another kingsized bed that drops down electronically from the cab

If they start selling them over here I could be tempted, looks to be well designed

someone didn’t watch the whole film! You can use the bed without the slide out, although he called it a day bed!
