If every MH was built like this!!!!

Well it was just nice to see the film of my van in production as I couldn't make it to the factory myself

 No mickysf,,four wheels or more for me ,with modern comfort and technology !!

I find it amusing to see the information about these vast motorhomes.  On the other hand I cannot quite see the attraction.  Our choice is for the smallest motorhome we can manage with as we love going to out of the way quiet camp sites.  A motorhome the size of a bus would be a contradiction in terms for us.

I remember some years ago at Clumber Park there were two English couples each with an American RV the size of large coaches,(one a coach driver)and were on an extended UK tour on route to Scotland ,it was quite interesting talking to them and the "problems" they were having working out routes to the sites they had booked,as they wanted to see all the places but were having difficulty with "friendly" roads

i think a lot of the interest in the video was not specifically to do with the (large) size of the vehicles (a corollary of very rich customer base who spend months at a time in one of these...?) rather the enormous attention to detail in 'how can we make this product better'...

Three heating systems, three electrical systems, original Iveco dashboard and seats moved and changed (at huge expense, no doubt) to make the cab more 'inclusive', every tiny cold bridge engineered out during the production process, even the RHD versions sporting a fully 'mirrored' layout and even driven down the production line backwards....

just an amazing education in 'how it should be done'....

ok, they're far too big for many, but for the few who want the best, the Production process just has to inspire confidence....

as Michael said in the OP.....'if only........'

Not withstanding the limitations described these motorhomes may be able to go to many places that towed caravans can not. They will go to all the places that larger delivery truck will go.  And with a car on board they can then explore even further.

If only? Well not for us mind, we're looking forward to downsizing. However, it's quality that counts for us. Having had American RVs whilst in Canada I can tell you that quality was not the best. These continental motorhomes ouse quality!

Well it’s a home and it has a motor but apart from that it bears no relation to what people would call a Motorhome. Interesting to look inside I guess and perhaps an alternative to a house if you like to move around but not exactly a touring vehicle is it?

but the smallest Morelo (actually called the Home) is, at 7.4m, a lot smaller than (say) the largest AS, and nearly a metre and a half shorter than the longest Swifts and ATs....and the same as our previous Carthago.

so, at that length certainly manageable....but you wont get the Smart in the back at that size...

but as i said earlier....isnt the video about what real quality and build integrity is about rather than the fact that Morelo generally builds big vans....yes. theyre big, but the techniques, processes and materials can be used on smaller vans....by any manufacturer who wants to make real quality vans...

....but it costs big bucks to be as good as this, hence the big ticket prices, they probably dont get their money back on the smaller models...at only €140k basic price...rather than the €300k (and plenty more) for a top liner model.

i queued at the NEC a couple of years back to see the first Empire Liner in the UK.....i think it was seven or eight steps up to the 'ground floor'...

the guy on the stand said they had taken 6 firm orders that week.....he couldnt stop smiling.....

The majority of us shop at Tesco rather than Harrods and get the commensurate level of quality. It's the same with Caravans and MHomes.

I couldn't see many superior manufacturing processes going on,  just bigger vehicles and prices.
