In May, our tester spent a couple of nights in motorhome heaven.
Actually, we’ll qualify that – it would have been motorhome heaven if they were half of a motorcaravanning couple looking to buy a short leisure vehicle, for ease of driving and parking, but also wanting superb comfort.
That dream couple would need to be unconcerned about not having a huge amount of interior storage for big items such as bicycles (although our test model did have the optional extra Fiamma bike rack on the back).
And of course, there is one other thing they would need. Money, as in lots of. The starting price is just over £100,000, but once you take your pick from the huge list of extras, you are looking at an end price that would probably be nearer £130,000. Phew!
The ’van in question is an Oasi 540.1, from Wingamm, Italy’s last privately owned motorhome manufacturer.
Based in Verona (rather than Tuscany, where many Italian automotive brands are found), the company is famous for producing low-profiles that are built with a one-piece or monocoque shell.
