Is the Pilote Essentiel 650C 140BHP a practical island bed motorhome?
The Pilote Essentiel 650C 140BHP is a compact low-profile motorhome that fits a permanent island bed layout into a length of 6.49 metres. Built on a 140BHP Fiat Ducato engine, it provides between 2 and 4 berths with a 3500kg MTPLM. It is designed for those who require the luxury of a central rear bed and a front lounge without the handling difficulties of a longer vehicle.

- Front lounge featuring L-shaped seating and swivel captain chairs.
- Smart-storage garage with access from both sides of the vehicle.

Worth knowing: The kitchen worktop space is limited due to the compact 6.49 metre footprint. Payload capacity of 650kg may be reduced if heavy optional equipment is fitted.
