Carthago c compactline i141LE super lightweight motorhome review

A quick look around the Carthago stand at the CMT trade fair in Stuttgart in January 2019 and in particular of their super lightweight c-compactline model.

I really like this one but the counter in the kitchen is far too small...better have a 2 burner stove, get rid of that stupid glass cover so i have space to make sandwiches. And why is that stove cover always from glass which can break i assume? The stove should have a metal/wooden cover which is totally flat with the countertop when closed.

That is the layout I really like with that way of doing the bed at the back. That layout gives you great garage space which I need for my bicycles and HPV. The interior is rather unimaginative. So many of these companies produce these interiors that are very safe but boring. I would like to see a bit more style in the interior.

What is HPV?

[@lorcro2000]

After seeing that Swedish crash testing video, "super lightweight" sounds more like "extra unsafe"...

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I see your point but I need to point out that lightweight does not necessarily mean weaker! There are some composites which are really strong but that means expensive. Or super expensive!

[@lorcro2000]

@@VanlifewithAlan Yeah, of course that's also possible. However, US made ultra light builds are absolute trash, they even skimp on nails and glue to get the weight down so the caravan can be towed by a lesser vehicle (which lowers the barrier of entry).

Love this van :)

I rather fancy one of these now but with a different rear layout. Maybe in a couple of years time....
