Winterised motorhomes (double floor) ?

[MotorhomeKing]

Hello everyone.

I intend to buy a motorhome to live in soon and have decided a tag axle will be best so I don't have to worry too much about payload with the all the junk I'll inevitably accumulate over time (I am a class CE licence holder).

As I'll also be living in it over winter and suffer from cold feet then insulation is important to me, especially the floor, so I am looking at models which have those.

Can anyone tell me which models have this feature please? I have seen a Dethleffs 7877-2 on ebay has it (too expensive at £80k!) and also a Euromobil A 770 EB too (sadly sold). Needs to be RHD, manual, van based, less than 5 years old and have good size garage.

I like the higher platform too for extra privacy as you can't see inside from ground level. Not interested in Hymer type stuff that looks like a mobile library bus.

I really like the Swift Kontiki BE 679s with the rear bed over large garage, but sadly no double floor from what I can tell.

Thanks .

Plus for long cold spells a diesel heater is a good idea, as Alde & Truma boilers use too much gas if left on for long periods, finding Diesel is much easier in most places than finding LPG.

We are looking at full timing and need to have a moho that is warm - we want to ski/visit nordic countries...as well as warm ones. We are interested to see your comments as we were put off Burstner as we were told not all have double floors and they aren't 'proper' double floors. We cannot find any info on this ourselves. Just wondered if you could set us straight really? Thanks

Hi, I honestly don’t know if other Burstner models are double floored. Mine certainly is ( garage isn’t but IS heated ). I full time in mine and with the fantastic Alde heating I cannot fault it. It is superbly warm ( I do use an exterior silver screen ) along with the interior blinds and all winter I’m barefoot in my van. I do have a set of loose fit carpets too.
You certainly want to get a fully winterised van ( pipe work in the underfloor space ) and water tanks internal so if you’re wanting to go to countries that are below freezing everything is protected.
That would certainly rule out most UK built vans ( nothing wrong with them but not fully winterised ) and look more towards the foreign built ones.
