Itineo is an unusual brand in that it specialises in A-class motorhomes, but competes at a price point below that of its parent company, Rapido. Now, with its new three-model Nomad range, it is offering something even rarer – an A-class that’s slimmer than the norm (2.19m) and compact of length, too (6.61m).

This CM660 model is the island bed version, but there’s also a twin bed layout (CJ660) and a family-orientated bunk bed model (CS660). All three are built on a Peugeot Boxer chassis-cowl with a 3,500kg gross weight, although a switch to the sister Fiat is possible if you need an automatic gearbox.

Obvious competition for the new line-up comes from long-running Teutonic slimline models, such as the Dethleffs Globebus and Hymer Exsis, but you’ll look in vain for an island bed floorplan in either, as the German market favours single beds instead.

The Gallic debutante also has price on its side. Starting from £ 63,600, this is probably the most affordable way into a brand-new A-class in 2022 – even Roller Team’s Pegaso kicks off at over £ 70k nowadays. And that headline figure isn’t too
