Mercedes 407d

This van is an unforgettable experience, a return to the past with a lot of comfort, space and style. It arrived recently and I am really enjoying getting to know the nature of the north of Portugal.

The bed is very comfortable and the insulation is very cosy. It fits two people comfortably. People over 195 cm will have to shrink a little.

The cooker has three burners and works very well. The fridge can also run on gas, with a solar panel (weaker) or connected to external power. It has several basic utensils for 4 people. But the motorhome can accommodate 2 people plus 1 for sleeping. It has sheets and towels.

The drive has capacity for 1 driver and 2 passengers with seatbelts.

It has an outside shower, solar panel to charge the appliances and the motorhome lights.

The van is fairly easy to drive, takes a little while to get used to but is much better than I expected for a 40 year old car. It doesn't go faster than 75km/h - for me that's even better, as we adapt to a more present pace, but it will go anywhere. If you want to get somewhere fast, you'd better find somewhere else.
