Something to get excited about at Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2021. From Turkey we have the Hotomobil Troy 01.
There are so many cool features about this caravan. First and foremost, it has a GRP one-piece bodyshell which is guaranteed against water ingress for a whopping 20 years. It has a claimed MRO of 690kg, but in Germany it is limited to an MTPLM of 750kg for registration reasons.
Hotomobil tell me that the chassis is in fact a 1500kg chassis, but even if it were 1000kg that would be more than enough.
For more information about this brilliant lightweight caravan suitable for many Electric Vehicles, please see: https://www.hotomobil.com.tr/en/home
We start off by taking a tour of the exterior. I'm a bit concerned about how low to the ground the caravan is, but I am assured by Hotomobil that you can specify a different chassis to give you more ground clearance.
Inside, we have the three berth layout. There is a two berth layout available with the kitchen across the front and a larger dinette at the rear.
I am delighted to see high quality furnishing with a natural wood finish - even a domestic handle on the washroom door.
Hotomobil are looking for UK dealers, so why not drop them a line? Tell them Dougal sent you ;)
