LE VOYAGEUR
We called the LV 7.8 LU the ‘Best Ultimate A-class’ in last year’s awards issue. Here, then, is a unique motorhome with four individual travel seats up front and a one-of-a-kind rear lounge around an octagonal table. Back here you can add the TV Pack with satellite dish and a 32in telly that rises, 007-style, from under the end of the kitchen. And that’s not the only secret this chic rear seating area is concealing – there’s a good-sized garage with headroom of up to 1.19m below.
The unusual front seating area doesn’t just mean there are four travel seats but also a second lounging/dining space with two small tables that store away en route to your next destination. There’s a flat floor through the vehicle from one seating area to the other and plush, soft trim on the ceiling and walls. Backlit details and double-stitched leather upholstery are more top-notch touches in this stylish motorhome but don’t forget to order the Duo Bed option in the cab, which turns the usual transverse A-class berth into a 2m-long lengthways super-king-sized bed. Alde heating, a full-width double floor, Al-Ko chassis, built-in mains lead and fresh water hose and a 200-litre water tank are further pluses of this 7.85m motorhome with a starting price just north of £100k.
