Yes, all our motorhomes have a chauffage system.

Does the motorhome have sockets inside?

Yes. The camper has some 12V sockets, USB inputs, and the traditional 220V sockets (European format). They are distributed by the motorhome so as to provide a pleasant living area. The 220V sockets will work whenever the motorhome is connected to the electric power.

All our motor homes use diesel. The capacity of the fuel tank is plus or minus 92 liters depending on the size of the vehicle. The consumption pattern will depend on the driving style and the circuit of the trip, but, on average, the consumption is around 8L/100km.

The drinking water tank has a capacity of 120 liters. The dirty waters from the kitchen sink + shower run together to the dirty water tank. After using one of the tanks, it is recommended to drain the dirty water tank as it may release strong odors and cause water to overflow both in the sink and in the shower if it is not emptied properly. When emptying the dirty water tank, ensure that it is in an area indicated for this purpose.

You may find facilities to supply the potable water tank in camping areas, service areas or gas pumps, which are typical places where you can do this.

f you do not have any electrical devices or glacier connected to the power, the secondary battery should maintain the electric range for several days. LED lights and water pump are designed to be energy efficient. However, we recommend that the truck be recharged at least 3 times a week if you are always standing at the same place. If you drive frequently, the secondary battery will be charged frequently and therefore you will not need to charge with an external source for so long.
