Considering an IVECO based Motorhome but the 2022 one I was looking at has just gone off to have its airbags replaced and has already required a wheel bearing. Trustpilot review of IVECO is pretty damming.
I’d be grateful for anybody’s experience of IVECO.
Thank you in anticipation
 
I think the older ones pull better than the new ones, we have friends with a Concorde on the chassis before ours so pre 2019, with a Smart in the back and it pulls better than ours 😏
Ours is 2018 and gets along quite nicely 6.7t also when towing

I’ve got the Iveco 70c21 Morelo (manual gearbox) with a smart in the back and it pulls like a train up and down the Italian mountains, never feels underpowered 👍
Manual box for me every time. My comment about the technical limits is the bulkiness of the bodywork in relation to the size of the chassis and then suspending 900ish kgs of smart car behind the rear axle.

We have a Morelo on an iveco 70C 21 euro 5 with a ZF8, on a 2017 reg. We have driven 30k miles over near 8 years and not had a problem at all. I have never really had a problem with any of my vehicles in the past, however I don’t over rev them, regularly maintain them and are gentle with the gears:)

The thing is though look at Fiat - number one converters choice for how many years? In the 2000s we had the top gears failing, then we had juddergate, then comfortmatic and now some issues appearing with the 9 speed apparently requiring them to turn the power down.
Fiat are the top because they were cheap
