Weinsberg launches first motorhomes based on new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

With the launch of two new motorhomes based on the latest Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by German motorhome manufacturer, Weinsberg, the company says it is marking the beginning of a new era of cooperation with the automotive giant.

The CaraCompact 640 MEG and CaraCompact Suite 640 MEG, which is similar but with a drop-down bed over the front lounge, is now available on the Sprinter, reflecting similar philosophies of the two German brands, with safety, comfort, premium quality and reliability to the fore.

And, typically for Weinsberg, the new motorhomes are said to have a unique price-performance ratio.

From the outset, the new motorhomes are also available in special Pepper trim, which results in savings of more than £17,500 (€20,000) when compared with a standard model specified with the same equipment.

In the interior, the low-profiles have the usual looks and equipment of a Pepper Edition, while the Mercedes cab blends well with the living areas. The long wheelbase of the Sprinter, at 3.92m, ensures greater driving comfort, while the wide-track axle reduces body roll, ensures less sensitivity to side winds and gives better driving stability.

The two new vehicles not only have an interior headroom of 2.00m, they are also the widest vans in their class, with an interior width of 2.12m. The length of the CaraCompact is 6.91m, while the CaraCompact Suite is 6.97m. Thanks to the sloping furniture, the space is optimally used.

The single beds in the rear offer a large sleeping area with a length of 2.00m and there is also more space in the washroom than in the equivalent Fiat-based CaraCompact. The front lounge is also said to offer increased comfort.
