Luxury Coach Motorhomes
Long associated with North America, luxury coach motorhomes are now an increasingly popular option in the UK. Designed to provide comfortable home-style living in a mobile form, motorhomes provide an all-in-one solution to accommodation and travel. Usually offering 2, 4 or 6 berths (beds), these vehicles are now easy to drive, full-equipped and in ready supply, new or used. Hire is a popular option also.
Luxury coach motorhomes allow the freedom of the road. Travel wherever you want and enjoy the flexibility to choose when and where you stop.
Costs That Are Involved
New luxury coach motorhomes can cost from around £30,000 upwards. The price range is vast, due to the endless list of extras that can be specified.

Specifications For you To Consider
The cheapest motorhomes will usually include a twin-style bed, hob, sink, fridge, porta potti toilet, hot water, mains hook-up, fresh water tank and radio/CD player.
A good example of this type of vehicle might be the Wheelhome Daneste II, a mini-size motorhome based on the Suzuki Serena MPV. Managing to pack a great range of equipment into a small body size, the Daneste actually includes all the items mentioned in the previous paragraph, and is ideal for uses such fishing trips, hill walking excursions, weekend breaks and countryside tours. Using no more space than a small MPV, the Daneste is particularly easy to drive and park.
A more sizable example of luxury coach motorhomes would be an Ace Milano, based on a Fiat chassis. Recent models include a 5 berth with hob, oven, sink, 3-way fridge, cassette toilet, shower, wash basin, air heating, hot water, radio/cassette, mains hook-up, leisure battery, fresh water tank, waste water tank and immobiliser.
Obviously, luxury coach motorhomes can come in still larger and even more highly-specified and luxurious forms, but this article will give you a good introduction as to the range available.
