When the family grows- the smaller campervans getting just a bit too squeezy.
Our customers had a vision: they wanted a 4 people FAMILY motorhome- BUT he didn't wanted a bulky, fuel hungry and classic C-class motorhome. Also the budget was a factor- as the family wanted to enjoy on a frequent base weekends and school holidays with their new home on wheels.
But which design is the best when dimensions are limited?

Also, this layout works perfectly fine for a couple to travel- so that makes the vehicle extreme versatile.
