I missed the Motorhome show because I'm chocked with a heavy cold, but this am I did glance a small BBC news filler item about the show. I glanced a huge motorhome with a Smart Car peeping out of a rear built-in garage!

Wow, can anyone help ID which motorhome that was?

t.i.a.

The latest Practical Motorhome refers to the vehicle and two small pictures show a 2-seater and a Smart in the garages.

I see the motorhome concerned in the flesh.It looked ok from the outside,but on the inside it didn`t appeal at all to me.In fact,all them rv type things always look OTT to me,especialy on the decor inside,and dont seem to have that camper feel to them,if you know what I mean.I suppose if your planning to live in one it`s a different matter though,because they do give you plenty of room.Just my two penneth.

steve

ps Cant for the life of me remember the name of it,but it was in the region of a £100,000 or just under.

Hi

I must agree with Chigman. Not impressed.

For such a large vehicle the garage took up too much space (even if it did have its own T.V.)

There are quite a few makes that have a garage for a car, I didn't see the item & didn't notice any van with a garage when we went to the show on Saturday. Unlike the Dusseldorf show there were quite a few vans with a grage for a car. Heres one Frankia Royal they list which cars will fit

Don't think that model was it carlight, but the video you linked showed a pretty cool motorhome nonetheless (anyone know what motorhome make it was?). But 1/4 million Pounds is a wee bit out my budget (feel like Homer Simpson seeing The Ultimate Behemoth...)

These motorhomes that can spit out another self-sufficient motor, sort of makes them 'motherships'...
