Itineo A-class range

2007-2013

A range designed to appeal to younger, less well-off buyers with families. These motorhomes were affordable, and weighed no more than 3500kg. The initial range consisted of six models over three lengths.

As with all of the launch range, the compact TD 610 features a forward lounge ahead of the midships kitchen, with two doubles located transversely.

The LB 690 replaces the transverse rear bed of the 610 with a low-level fixed longitudinal bed, while the biggest seller, the CD720, has a low-level island double bed.

The 2009 season saw three new 740 models. The MB 740 had a low-level island double bed at the far end, and the JB 740 replaced the rear double with two longitudinal single beds, whereas the TB 740 provided a high-level permanent transverse double bed.

■ ESSENTIALS

Itineo A-class range on Fiat Ducato LWB chassis-cowl and on tractor unit with Al-Ko Kober chassis extensions

Built 2007-2013 in Beaucouzé, western France

A-class integral coachbuilt

Overall length 6.1m (TB 610) to 8.0m (MB 800/TB 800)

■ WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR

On some models, there are no rearward chassis extensions behind the rear axle. As a result, the floor is unsupported for a considerable distance. Go to the far rear and check for any ‘give’ in the floor and listen for groans from there while driving on uneven surfaces. Walk away if you spot either of these.

■ OUR PICK

If you require a full-height garage, go for the TB 610. Otherwise, we think the CD 720 is an outstandingly practical design.

■ GUIDE PRICE

Previously from £28,500 (TB 610), although none is currently being advertised.
