From the spacious seating areas to the well-appointed kitchenettes with large refrigerators, every inch of space is optimised for luxury living. Consider this range if you value robust build quality, extensive standard features, and a refined interior. However, be mindful that its premium construction can result in a higher unladen weight, potentially requiring a more powerful tow car. Also, some wider models might present a slight challenge on narrower UK roads, and the continental door configuration may require adjustment when pitching.
