No End in Sight

 The invasion of European RVs continues unabated. There also continues to be a high proportion of off road types, which continue to baffle observers. Where do they find places to run these heavy duty rigs?

The Mercedes I saw at the Walmart June 5 was another that would looks a bit like a Dakar racer, prepared to blast across the Sahara.It wears a license plate from France and the "box" appears to be demountable..

 

Of course there are more genteel looking RVs too, less likely to draw attention to themselves, but worth a second look. I believe this Carthago from Switzerland is built on a Fiat chassis.

RVs again

 Another European RV spotted today was this FIAT Ducato with Carthago Chic C-Line RV body.

Buyers have the choice of the FIAT or Mercedes Sprinter chassis. The front plate gives me no clue as to its country of origin.

A new (to me) brand of RV was also to be seen around Halifax today, but this one was not from overseas. A product of the RV manufacturing capital of the US, Elkhard, IN, the Georgetown, Model 5 Series GT 5 comes from Forest River RVs, a division of Forest River Inc (a Berkshire Hathaway company) maker of many recreational products. It was wearing Ontario plates.

I would like to have seen it in better weather, with the pull out section and awnings in use.
