Is the Sun Living A 70DK 130BHP Auto a practical family motorhome?
The Sun Living A 70DK 130BHP Auto is a highly versatile over-cab motorhome designed for large families, offering up to seven berths within a sub-seven-metre length. Manufactured by the Adria-Mobil group, it combines a 130BHP Fiat engine with an automatic transmission and a layout featuring rear bunk beds and a double dinette. With a 3500kg MTPLM and a 553kg payload, it balances high occupancy needs with practical weight limits.
- Seven berth capacity with rear bunk beds and an over-cab double bed.
- Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis with a 130BHP engine and automatic gearbox.
- Compact 6.99 metre length allows for easier manoeuvring than many seven berth models.
- Substantial 553kg payload for carrying passengers and equipment.
- Hide-away bathroom design to increase usable floor space.
Worth knowing: The over-cab profile may increase fuel consumption due to wind resistance. The 130BHP engine may feel worked when the vehicle is at its full seven passenger capacity.
Buying a Sun Living A 70DK 130BHP Auto
Who it suits
- Large families requiring up to seven berths without exceeding a 3500kg weight limit.
- Drivers who prefer the ease of an automatic transmission for long-distance touring.
- Owners who need a high payload for carrying multiple passengers and their luggage.
Reasons to consider it
- It offers one of the highest berth counts available in a 6.99 metre motorhome.
- The Adria-Mobil group manufacturing provides a reputation for build quality.
- The 553kg payload is generous for a vehicle designed to carry up to seven people.
What to check
- Confirm the specific configuration of the double dinette to ensure it meets your sleeping requirements.
- Verify the operation of the hide-away bathroom components.
- Check the service history of the Fiat automatic gearbox.
- Inspect the rear garage for any signs of wear from heavy outdoor gear.
Worth knowing: The 130BHP engine is the standard output; performance should be assessed when the vehicle is fully loaded. Height clearance of 3.09 metres requires careful route planning for low bridges.
Compare the Sun Living A 70DK 130BHP Auto with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sun Living A 70DK 130BHP Auto | 7 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £42,000 to £68,000 |
| Elnagh Baron 48 7 Berth Motorhome | 7 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £38,000 to £68,000 |
| Swift Voyager | 6 | 3500 kg | 6.90 m | £45,000 to £90,000 |
The Sun Living A 70DK 130BHP Auto occupies a specific niche, providing seven berths in a 6.99 metre body, which is shorter than rivals like the Itineo SB740 Famili. While the Elnagh Baron 48 offers a similar layout at a lower entry price, the Sun Living benefits from Adria-Mobil group engineering and the inclusion of an automatic gearbox. It provides a higher payload than many multi-berth competitors, though its 130BHP engine is less powerful than the higher-output options found in some premium ranges.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 553kg payload carefully by distributing heavy items in the rear garage.
- Regularly check the seals around the over-cab bed area to ensure weather integrity.
- Monitor the Truma Combi heating system to ensure efficient year-round performance.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM when travelling with seven adults and full water tanks.
- Underestimating the impact of the over-cab alcove on fuel economy during motorway driving.
Worth knowing: Always verify the exact payload after any aftermarket accessories are fitted. The 3.09 metre height is significantly taller than low-profile alternatives.
