Laika Eco Vip: a motorhome from the Italian manufacturer with a four-cylinder engine and a 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight, built in 2001
Laika is an Italian motorhome manufacturer that belongs to the French Trigano group. The Eco Vip described here, from 2001, has a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, the upper limit of EU class N1, and can still be driven in Europe on a category B licence.

The vehicle is powered by a four-cylinder engine. Against the gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg stands a kerb weight of 2,990 kg, giving a payload of around 510 kg for luggage, water and occupants. The wheelbase is 3,700 mm and the width 2,320 mm. These figures correspond to a spacious motorhome with a comparatively tight payload margin.
Motorhomes of this size are designed to offer as much living space as possible within the 3,500 kg limit, so they can still be driven on an ordinary car licence. The tight payload against a solid kerb weight means in practice that load items such as the water tank, gas bottles and luggage must be carefully calculated to stay within the gross vehicle weight.
Buying a used motorhome of this age, damp inspection of the roof, windows and body walls comes first, ideally with a moisture meter at several points on the body. This should be paired with a check of the gas and water systems for leaks and a reweigh of the laden vehicle, since the tight payload of around 510 kg is quickly exceeded once extra equipment has been fitted.
