The chassis is fitted with a four-cylinder diesel engine of 2.8 litres (2,800cc). With a gross vehicle weight of 3,400kg and an unladen weight of 2,675kg, 725kg of payload remains for fittings, water, gas and luggage. The wheelbase of 3,700mm and width of 2,290mm match the usual dimensions of a motorhome on this chassis class.
Motorhomes up to 3,500kg gross vehicle weight can be driven on a category B licence. The high share of the habitation body in the overall weight — for this model, a good fifth of the gross vehicle weight as pure payload — explains why motorhomes reach their weight limit quickly despite compact exterior dimensions once the water tank, gas bottles and luggage are on board.
When buying a used motorhome of this age, checking the body for damp comes first: the roof hatch, window and wall joints and the floor should be checked with a moisture meter, since water ingress damages the furniture construction and the floor panel over time. Added to this are the usual chassis checks: timing belt or chain, brakes, axle suspension and, for gas systems, a current pressure test on the installation.
