We are travelling with 2 small children (3 and 5) and we are hesitating between the 7 metre profiled one that you say is the jewel in the crown 😜 or this capuchin motorhome. What do you recommend?
Hello Javier!
Well, if you are travelling with small children I recommend the Capuchina for 2 reasons. It has a much larger storage room where you can put the children's trolley even without folding it. When it's time to sleep you don't have to do anything at all as it has 2 fixed beds and you can use the dining room while others are sleeping. In the profiled motorhome the bed is lowered into the living room and the chairs have to be removed.
On the other hand, the great advantage of the 7-metre profile is that it has a huge dining area and bunk beds for the children 🤷🏾.
If you want more information or if you want to spend a day to see the motorhomes you can call us, that's what we are here for.
Best regards and we hope you will join us!
