According to the designers who worked on the project, one family of four to five people will be able to live comfortably in this housing, experiencing a minimum of inconvenience.

The first floor has an area of ​​56 square meters, and the second - 31.5 square meters folds up.

TOP of the best motorhomes in the world.

As practice shows, one of optimal options– travel by car. Then we are not at all dependent on different schedules; we can change the schedule based on desires and circumstances, stopping where we like for any time. However, there is also a “minus”, and an important one: everyday inconveniences. When traveling by car, ensuring proper sleep, normal cooking, and satisfaction of other needs is very difficult, if not impossible. Needless to say, how inconvenient it is if women, children, and elderly people travel with you! Motorhomes help solve this problem successfully. The best motorhomes on wheels produced by well-known companies have everything necessary to provide passengers with good living conditions during trips.

Elite options amaze with the amazing design of the rooms, a huge range of auxiliary household functions, which in their scope and quality sometimes even exceed the conditions of ordinary housing. The cost of such wheels on wheels is considerable, and not everyone can afford them. Their main feature is that they can move freely on their own, like autonomous vehicles, or they can be easily towed using your car. The review of the modern European top on autowheels includes houses from standard trailers, as well as houses obtained by the targeted transformation of mass-produced minibuses.

Motorhomes and their varieties

Classification of motorhomes is made taking into account their equipment. The following main types are distinguished: kastenvagen (or residential minivan), alcove, semi-integrated and integrated. Each of them has its own undeniable advantages and at the same time certain weaknesses. Their choice depends on how the motorhome, with all its advantages and disadvantages, meets the needs, tastes of the traveler and his vision of comfort. Not the least important role is played by technical factors, the way the house moves - independently or by towing. In the first case, power, drive format and other nuances play a big role. Often they choose all-wheel drive, all-wheel drive (American, for example) motorhomes. Despite the many tastes, in the integral assessment everyone agrees on one thing: the most best house on wheels - the one in which it is as cozy and convenient as possible.

Kastenwagens (residential minivans)

These are a kind of budget, popular motorhomes, thanks to their increased practicality and reasonable cost. They are very popular and have a good reputation in the world. On weekends they can be used for family and corporate picnics, and on weekdays - as a regular means of transportation. The basis for their production is serial high-quality minibuses, which have enough high ceiling. Then their cargo compartments are converted into living areas. There they install a table, chairs, a sofa and other furniture, and, if necessary, additional beds, a gas or electric stove, a refrigerator, etc. They are ideal for a family of two to three people, but in other cases they can be cramped. And one more thing: since the body is not thoroughly insulated, they are problematic for the cool season.

Such houses are most often used for tourist trips. Their highlight is the alcove - a large ledge above the cabin, which is converted into a sleeping compartment, saving space for the kitchen, shower, and other rooms. Reinforced thermal insulation and double flooring allow them to be used even in cold weather. They are quite versatile and can accommodate up to 7 people. But since their volume and weight are considerable, such houses require systematic recharging of batteries and are largely tied to highways with a developed car service network.

Even more striking is the most expensive two-story motorhome in the world - EleMMent Palazzo, produced by the Austrian company Marchi Mobile, priced at 2 million 200 thousand euros. He has an amazing bedroom, massage chairs, a bathroom with a rain shower, a 65 sq. m terrace. m., conference room for 6 people, internet, fireplace, heated floor and other bells and whistles.

Motorhome layout

When choosing one for your own needs, you need to carefully weigh a number of key factors, headed by the rating of modern motorhomes.

You can’t do without a special place to eat while traveling. There are many options for arranging it in a motorhome, depending on several factors, starting with the dimensions of the vehicle.

Then it can simultaneously accommodate from 4 to 8 or even more people. The most spacious, naturally, self-contained dining rooms of luxury motorhomes. And one more thing: the designers provide for the multifunctional purpose of the dining room. If necessary, it can be transformed into a hall for business meetings and other activities.

Sleeping places

It is also mandatory for a motorhome to have a sleeping area for complete comfortable rest for several people. This is effectively realized in large beads, initially equipped with spacious self-contained bedrooms. In the German Volkner Mobil Performance Bus, for example, there are 2 double beds. Fuso Canter 4x4 also provides overnight accommodation for 4 passengers with fairly large bed sizes - 195 x 138 cm. The EleMMent Palazzo has a luxurious bedroom. Economical motorhomes are more modest in this regard. Thus, sleeping places in alcove variants can be arranged in compartments above the cabin due to the height of the motorhome.

Kitchen

Often, a kitchen is designed on the principle of saving space in order to free it up as much as possible for the living area. In this case, it consists of a compactly mounted gas stove with several burners, a refrigerator, and auxiliary cabinets. In more expensive models, where there is no need to save space, there is also a microwave oven, freezer and other devices.

Bathroom

Due to the same need to save the volume of a motorhome as much as possible, bathrooms are most often designed as combined ones. In the same place with him is bathroom compartment where the washbasin and shower are located. Only elite models such as EleMMent Palazzo have independent bathrooms. In practice, compact dry closets are also widely used.

What to consider when choosing

Taking into account all the recommendations and wishes, you will certainly come to the classic conclusion that it is impossible to embrace the immensity. It is very difficult to take into account every single factor and nuance, and it is hardly necessary. The most important thing is to remember that a motorhome is not bought only for beauty and your reputation. It should work flawlessly for many years, clearly fulfilling its main task - to become for you, your family and friends a second, no less reliable home, as comfortable and practical as possible. Then your choice will be the only correct one, and you will never regret your purchase! Good luck with your purchase!
