A high-capacity family motorhome on a 3500kg chassis.
The Sun Living A 70DK 165BHP Auto is a 6.99m over-cab motorhome designed for large families, offering between 6 and 7 berths. Built on a Citroen Jumper chassis, it features a 165BHP engine and automatic transmission. The layout includes rear bunk beds, a double dinette, and a large over-cab bed, supported by a 555kg payload and a 3500kg MTPLM.
- High-occupancy layout with 7 berths and 7 belted travel seats.

- Compact 6.99m external length despite the high berth count.
- Versatile sleeping options including over-cab bed and rear bunk beds.

Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM requires careful management of the 555kg payload when travelling with seven people. External height of 3.09m necessitates route planning for low bridges and height barriers. Over-cab profile increases wind resistance compared to low-profile models.

The Sun Living A 70DK 165BHP Auto occupies a specific niche, providing 7 berths within a 6.99m frame, whereas alternatives like the Itineo SB740 Famili use a longer 7.43m chassis for the same capacity. While the Elnagh Baron 48 matches its length and berth count, the Sun Living distinguishes itself with the 165BHP engine and automatic transmission. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for engine output versus total external length and price.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Living with the A 70DK
- Utilize the 'all-in-one' service area to simplify water and electric hook-ups at campsites.
- Make use of the double dinette conversion for additional daytime lounging space when not all berths are required.
- Monitor fuel consumption, as the 3.09m over-cab profile will impact efficiency at motorway speeds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 555kg payload by carrying seven adults and full water tanks simultaneously.
- Neglecting to secure items in the large garage, which can affect weight distribution.
Worth knowing: Always verify the vehicle height before entering car parks or fuel stations.
