With its dimensions, notably its 1.99 meter allowing it to pass under most height bars, and its 150 horsepower engine, it is very maneuverable and goes everywhere... or almost... Indeed, it is not yet 4x4!

With its DSG7 automatic gearbox and its large 80 liter fuel tank, it is very durable. In addition, it is equipped with remote programmable stationary heating, drawing on diesel, a real plus for cool mountain nights.

• 2 at the top, under the lifting roof, with a bed on a 120x200cm box spring (a safety net is provided, if necessary),

• 2 below, on the bench seat with a foldable comfort mattress, 150x200cm. Remember to bring your duvets/duvet and pillows, we provide the mattress pads.
