The motorhome is based on a Renault Trafic 1995cc petrol chassis.Considering that there is no power assisted steering, its not too bad to drive & is small enough to manoeuvre around some of the smaller byways which we like to explore when the weather is bright & dry . . . roll on Summer when we would like to take it over to France and down the Atlantic coast stopping at camp sites when we feel like it & I guess that on their good straight roads we should get at least 25mpg, it cruises along quite happily and no doubt has some power to spare but my idea of driving enjoyment is not to try to beat any speed records I'm happy to watch the world go by at 45/50mph. |
