beyond 50K pounds

the BIG solution:

Hi, Sprinters now have 3.5t towing capacity as standard, so any with a standard sprinter (notAlko) chassis will do. Michael


I think you are wrong there.

I am sure that currently only vans/travellers can tow a max of 3500kG's. Converted chassis/cowels are lower rated.

if you're happy with it, why change? Question


Just asking myself the same question, ??

Had her a couple of years,
Just feel time for a change, ?
now 8 years old, and update to something newer ?
Someone wants to buy mine, but now looking for a replacement, very little out there that will suit my needs ?
Still in search of the "perfect" Motorhome, ? which i know does not exist ?
Bored ?

Only other option i see is a RS cruiser on a 6 ton Iveco, but have not seen one as yet, but look to have a tad too much a "home built look" about them ??

Jan

For some reason, every time i click on your link, it opens, then when i go to the pictures, my BT hub shuts down ! Shocked

Is it just me, or the same for others Question

The 7.5 tonner is too big, still has to be used for family holidays etc, down narrow lanes etc

Most normal van's now, ie sprinters , transit etc, only have a 2000 kg tow limit, Just replaced the rally van for a 3500 Jumbo transit, and that's only 2000 kg, hence why the MH has to have at least 2500, with the car in the race box trailer

As soon as I highlighted this post, had a feeling it might be you!.

I remember when you changed to a larger tow limit last time.

I think with your requirements, you are limited to the Iveco chassis.

when thinking of Dethleffs Globetrotter , only the XXL is
a choice. It has RWD on twins , comes with 166hp engine
on iveco ( until year 2007)

Thanks Jan

seams the search is for a Dethleffs Globetrotter XXL,

The 9800, while being a good MH, the 8000 would fit our use better, being 6 berth, with 6 belts rather that what looks like only 2 on the 9800 ???

Struggling to find any spec for the earlier models ??
