HERE'S something of a rarity – a mainstream manufacturer (part of the mighty Trigano Group) building a specific 4x4 motorhome. The new Xtura, which was launched in January at the Stuttgart show, isn't a two-wheel drive 'van with a 4x4 option, it's allwheel drive as standard. It comes from Eura Mobil, a marque that has only recently reappeared on the UK market via M and C Ltd in Hull (so right-hand drive is available), and, unsurprisingly, it's based on the Mercedes Sprinter.
Its maker describes the120W solar panels can give you “independent power for up to 30 days.” Just as important if you want to truly get off the Tarmac, Eura Mobil says its newcomer has an “especially torsion-resistant superstructure” including an 85mm-thick floor – you won't want creaks and rattles as you head across the desert! – while its Garmin navigation system is said to work anywhere in the world.
