The big Class A motor homes and RVs cover a wide range of types and
sizes. Some are motor coaches converted or purpose built, others are RVs
with completely purpose built "coachwork". Class Bs on the other hand
have at least a commericial chassis and cab, with some sort of add on or
faired-in body.
Two recent European callers I have
seen are small Class As. They have have no obviously identifiable
commercial truck or van component, but do carry the badge of the chassis
manufacturer.
A week or two ago I spotted this spendid
PhoneiX-Liner Reisemobile. PhoeniX makes a range of RVs in Germany, and
use the MAN and Iveco chassis.
This
one is quite new, and was planning on staying awhile, since it had
deployed its leveller legs. It is wearing Swiss plates from the Canton
of Lucerne.
More recently a "less than new" RV showed up wearing a confusing array of badges.
Centered
in the grille is "Florium", and on the bar below, "Wincester". High
over the windshield was "Fleurette". It was not until looking near the
driver's door (an unusual feature on a Class A) that I found "Ducato
Maxi" - revealing at least a Fiat undercarriage.
CarryIng
French plates, this one hails from Département 83, Var (Toulon,
Préfecture). Since 2009 the new French plates stay with the vehicle for
life, and you are apparently free to put whatever region you want on the
plate, since it is not part of the alpha-numeric registration.
