Possibly the future of MoHos, Hybrid

[Pudsey Bear]

With the right layout it'd be a winner here I think.

One peace front cab, try sorting that after some dow head reverses into you, slide out, water leaks down the line, ceiling hight to high for short arses getting into over head lockers, windows to hight to see out of, looks more like a horse box.
I do like the one level floor & price.

Not a good time to push a hybrid vehicle. A lot of manufacturers are reverting to only building electric/hybrid vehicles to order. An unproven concept vehicle may be hard to sell.

A few issues such as likely weight, no space on the roof for satellite dish (not everywhere has mobile data signal for streaming), etc. However, the major issue is the branding. Would you really want to drive a vehicle that proudly proclaims that you're a Wanaka?

Interesting that despite highlighting the ability to survive off grid for prolonged periods due to huge water/grey water tanks and a huge solar etc, that it is still restricted to what appears to be a standard Thetford waste cassette needing frequent emptying. Always the weak point in motorhoming.

Curious that they use a Thetford toilet. You would imagine they would have developed their own copy.

Might suit half on here.


Jus sayin.

Not sure what a 'dow head' is Trev, but I'd never not buy a vehicle because somebody might crash into it - that's what you have insurance for and if they do it would be their insurance anyway.

Most motorhomes, particularly 'A' class would take some sorting out after a crash but it doesn't stop people buying them.

He’s talking to you Ral

Just remember as of 2028 hybrid electric vehicles are to be charged for road tax purposes every mile they travel even the miles on diesel which you already have paid for I think it's 1 5 pence a mile

Better to have sep panels for self repair, a single unit would be very costly, the ins co would love you.

I wouldn't do a self repair Trev, I haven't got the skills for that.

It's amazing how many 'A' class owners seem to have got by!

 

[Pudsey Bear]

That's why we buy insurance.

Wonder how they do repair A class MH's? There must be a way.

The MH in OP is based on a truck, I'd imagine Chinese truck operators want their trucks fixed as cheaply and easily as possible, just like any truck operator.

An A-class apart from the cab area is the same construction as any coachbuilt, so similar repair costs.

Having owned a chines car for over 18 months, I can't fault the build quality, the software is a bit odd, but so are most 2024 cars.

Many Marinas specialise in this kind of repair, as do some Motorhome specialists.

At a Marina I was moored at the workshop had a bloke who could do fantastic GRP repairs so that you wouldn't know it had ever been damaged. He spent hours mixing Gelcoat colours to get an exact match. It was a big loss to the Marina when he retired.
