WildAx’s range stretches from small Ford Transit Custom based pop-tops to the seven metre Elara on a Mercedes Sprinter. In between, though, the majority of the line-up is based on the Citroen Relay, which on the UK motorhome scene is the least-known of the Sevel triumvirate that also encompasses the Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Boxer.
Previously, there was also an odd man out in this Yorkshire manufacturer’s portfolio – the Europa, built on the Renault Master. Once a popular motorhome base vehicle, the Master has, in recent years, been dropped by makers such as Devon, Hobby and Rimor.
Now WildAx, too, has seen fit to bring the Europa in line with the rest of the range and redevelop the model to sit within an extra-long Sevel van.
As standard, it will be a Citroen, but if you want an automatic (and WildAx reports massively increased demand for autos), then it has to switch to the Fiat Ducato. The spec (engine and gearbox aside) is the same whether you go for a manual Relay or automatic Ducato but there’s a £4,000 premium to pay for the latter.
