  1. It’s the most intelligent and beautiful motorhome I’ve ever seen. I wish I lived in one of these.

  2. I like it a lot but my only concern is size of kitchen sink. If you are going on holiday for extended time frame would be better to have a larger sink . Great van and certainly looks like it worth purchasing if you have close to 60 grand .

    1. Motorhome sinks are always smaller than domestic size. You wouldn’t want to use too much water when you only have around 100 litres.

  3. I was wondering what insulation is like in this type of motor home ? Could it be used 12 months of the year? Cool in summer? Warm enough on average winter days? This van reminds me a little of stealth campers that all the rage in USA.

    1. It’s typical of coachbuilt motorhome construction. Not as good as the top-end models with a double floor and Alde heating but adequate for all but the most extreme conditions. Underslung waste tank would be the only issue and that could be heated at little extra cost.

  4. Too many electronicky bitty bits that move uppy downy, backy and forthy, that, for me, l know will go wrong or move inny outy when l want them to move uppy downy 😓😥

    I do love future technology but the future hasn’t arrived yet for me; well just not a tekky future that actually works 100% of the time (ie: when you need it to work.) only IMHO. 🤠

  5. Love this motor home like car with all the conveniences I want to buy one nothing like this in the USA
    How do I go about buying one
    I’m serious.

  6. 8:26 – The roller blind would make a great projection screen for a small overhead projector, eliminating bulky TV screens. Its what van builders are using today. Its a terrible blind but great projection screen (should be opaque though).
    Love the bed and bathroom, hate the fat, bulky table. That table should be slim and tuck away easily, very poor design. Lounge is way too big. One side should be removed, the other side shortened to expand the kitchen. An office desk and chair/chairs on other side for working. Swivel chair around, add a Lagun table mount and lightweight table and you have a dining space. Much better. Why does everyone make a huge lounge? Outdated. Kids are gone, and people work remotely from vans.

    Pin board instead of a window? Its a deal breaker. No buy.
    No garage? No buy.

    1. Motorhomes in the UK have big lounges because that’s what buyers want.
      As for this ‘van, it’s been so popular that Chausson won’t take an order in the 2023 season as they catch up with building sold orders. It’ll be available again in 2024!

    1. The main bed just comes down from the ceiling electrically – just press a button! I don’t see many buyers using this ‘van as a four-berth.
