Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-85 2017

Published: August 16, 2017

You can indulge in A-class luxury and style on a 3500kg chassis with this Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-85 – but just how tempting is it?

Mobilvetta is one of a handful of motorhome brands (the others being Itineo , Rapido and Pilote , at least in Essentiel spec) that offers A-class ’vans at prices close to what ordinary folk can afford.

This Mobilvetta is a good £10k cheaper than Adria and Bürstner models with similar layouts, although they include Alde heating and a slightly higher specification.

But there are enough innovations inside Mobilvetta’s K-Yacht MH-85, including the underfloor heating and the clever kitchen, to make this a motorhome you can really grow into, even if there are one or two niggles – like the night-lights.

With Marquis Leisure’s input, you get a much more UK-friendly spec too, but you would be wise to opt for the free chassis upgrade, driving licence permitting, of course.

The kitchen has been cleverly thought out You can get a good amount in the rear garage, plus there are handy storage nets and a light/torch

Lots of lighting inside is great, but we felt it was a bit too much – especially when trying to turn them all off There’s so much storage space that it’s easy to overload the ’van!

Mobilvetta may sound and look Italian, and although it is Italian built, mamma mia , as with so much else in the motorhome industry these days, it is actually part of a much larger multi-national concern – in this case, the French-owned Trigano Group.

Despite such support, it had been largely absent from the UK market for most of the past decade, a result of the late-2000s financial crisis that saw the Italian motorhome market contract by as much as one fifth.

That was up until the start of the 2017 season, though, when the UK’s biggest motorhome and caravan dealer network, Marquis Leisure, keen to add an A-class brand to its portfolio, brought Mobilvetta back to British forecourts.

Don’t forget that Marquis is already enjoying no little success with Benimar , itself another Trigano brand.

So far, potential UK buyers have only seen three models from the brand’s K-Yacht Tekno Line , which, surprise surprise, has been designed to incorporate elements of nautical style.

Earlier this season, we tested the K-Yacht MH-80 , which carries an innovative rear-lounge layout.

Now we’re taking the K-Yacht MH-85 , with single beds in the back and a drop-down double bed over the dinette, for a spin through rural Northamptonshire and a thorough live-in test.

The cooking area is one of the best we have seen in recent times

A front dinette is usually going to be a space challenge in a motorhome with fixed beds.

Here in the Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-85 it is less so, because the designers have found enough space to incorporate an L-shaped seat and a small side seat to the right of the habitation door.

But even if our team-mate did fall asleep on the move, these seats are really only moderately comfy when the motorhome is stationary. The main bench in particular seems very upright.

You would probably be more inclined, as we were, to use the swivelled cab seats if it is just the two of you. They would certainly give you a prime position for watching the TV if you were to install one on the bracket fitted to the left of the habitation door.

The table is fully adjustable, but we found it was always a little far out from the side seat, which, like the bench, is not super comfortable.

The seat is, however, a useful place for putting on any shoes you might keep in the nearby cubbyhole in the double floor.

The lounge is adequately heated with one vent to the side and another by the door. There is one mains socket in this area, which is a bit of a squeeze to get to as it is under the L-shaped seat, but the sockets in the kitchen are nearby.

A rooflight keeps this area bright and airy, even taking the drop-down bed into account, and alongside those LED striplights there are plenty of LED spotlights, including four in a row by the drop-down bed’s curtain, plus two by the door that come on automatically as you enter the motorhome.

The drop-down bed has speakers in its base, too.

The cooking area in the Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-85 is one of the best we have seen in recent times.  There is only a three-burner hob, but it is cleverly tucked into the corner, and there is a large sink with a cover that alternates as a chopping board and fits into a slot on a rail that runs along the top of the partition by the sink.

That’s a useful idea, although we would be tempted to swap the board’s position with the paper towel holder that also sits on this rail so that the board is directly over the bin behind the sink, and all food waste can simply be scraped off and dropped in.

The whole work surface is well lit, with a 12V and mains socket next to the light switch, and there’s even an extractor fan.

There’s another potential resting place for the chopping board on top of the cutlery tray under the worktop. Here, it can form an extension flap.

Two large drawers and an ingenious shelving system that telescopes out next to them means that there is plenty of room for even quite large pans and utensils.

Up above, the two overhead lockers are also large.

Having so much space to hand makes you wonder why the designers bothered with the tiny apothecary shelf across the aisle.

Next to it is a three-way 150-litre Thetford fridge, and a SMEV oven and grill above that – it will be a little high for some, though.

The washroom is split across the middle of this Mobilvetta motorhome.

A stylish-looking stainless-steel basin with a soap dispenser and mug embedded into the worktop around it, and two differently angled mirrors behind it, takes up one side, along with a swivel toilet with toilet roll holder and brush.

There’s also one overhead locker and a cupboard under the basin that is partly obscured by a thin towel rail.

This area, which is partitioned off by a tambour door, also has a window and a roof vent with a fan.

Strangely, you won’t find the latter in the shower cubicle across the aisle, which also only has one drain hole – a sign, perhaps, that this is an affordable A-class.

But the shower head itself looks ultra-modern, and there are solid metal shelves for stowing all your lotions and potions.

The whole washroom area can be partitioned off from the front lounge and kitchen by means of an elegant Japanese-style door.

The comfortable fixed beds at the rear are reached by steps – each measures 2.03 x 0.83m (6’8″ x 2’9″).

The beds are reasonably high, which means you don’t have a huge amount of headroom. But as the mattresses themselves can be raised at the pillow end, support is available for sitting up in bed.

Sleepers get spotlights for reading, while in the middle between the two beds is a very large wooden shelf that could easily serve as a resting place for books.

If you would rather cuddle up for the night, you can pull out an extension over the steps and insert a couple of infills to create a double bed.

The 1.88 x 1.33m (6’2″ x 4’4″) drop-down double bed over the cab was a little more complicated to position than we had expected.

The folded cab seats need to rest an inch or so before their forward-most position, not right at the end. Trying to work this out inevitably involved accidentally sounding the horn, so you might need to be careful if you are putting this bed down late at night.

Once it is deployed, though, you get a bed that is an accessible height, and comes with spotlights and a rooflight.

You’re certainly not short of space for clothes in the MH-85.

Along with six overhead lockers in the bedroom, there are two huge wardrobes under the bed, one with a hanging rail and the other with two large shelves.

There are also clever sock shelves in the curve of the wardrobe doors, while two of the steps open up for storage.

The designers have made use of the double floor – not just externally with those two lockers, but also internally with cubbyholes along the centre of the ’van. The one by the fridge is cleverly sub-divided to take large drinks bottles – molto buono!

The excellent garage, meanwhile, has two doors, a light you can remove to use as a torch, and netted storage across the back. It is big enough to take bikes upright.

The only trouble is the modest user payload of 342kg – fill up all the available storage spaces and you’ll end up being overweight.

Buyers with C1 entitlement on their driving licences can get around this by opting for a chassis upgrade to 3650kg, which is free of charge.

Hi,All, Spotted for sale a IVECO-DAILY Euro yacht motorhome , running on a 2.8 diesel engine. Has anyone any experience of this vehicle, I think it is made by an Italian firm because it is by Mobilvette or something like that. Does anyone know what chassis it is? (the vehicle is a 1997 model) Just wondered because we are looking to upgrade our van soon. Kind regards, Dave.......  

Surely you have already answered your own question ??? The chassis is an Iveco Daily Trevor  

euro yacht Maybe i should rephrase my question!! Has anyone been fortunate to have owned this particular vehicle or one like it based on this chassis? if so, some helpful comments would be appreciated. 8O Kind regards Dave...  

I think these were imported by Don Amott at Hilton in Derbyshire. I recall looking at them as they were very stylish and at the higher end of the A-class market. They were well beyond my means. Mobilvetta is a recognised Italian company who made good vans with style. It is/was part of the SEA group which has had a more turbulent history recently - Auto Sleepers was part of the group for a while. Ensure you can get parts for the Mobilvetta part of the vehicle. Most of their dealers seem to be in the south. The Iveco Daily is a workhorse with a very good reputation in the commercial vehicle sector. Check the weight of the van because if it is at the top end of the scale, the old 2.8 will be challenged to make good progress compared to modern motores. Like now, many of the top class under 6,000 kg motorhomes used the chassis. There are numerous Iveco dealers around.  

Hi, Brock, thanks for your reply,the info you provided was very much appreciated. Kind regards, Dave.........  

Do you mean like one of these. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOBILVETTA-EURO-YACHT-175-MOTORHOME-/400105457865 cabby  

Hi we have a euroyacht 1998 LHD the quality is brilliant, the Italian furniture makers did a fab job on design, the bathrooms are large, the kitchen is tucked away so easy to cook, and the kitchen sink and drainer are large, pleanty of room, well thought out motorhome. The pull down bed just tucks up after use, so no bedding to have to keep putting away. Ours is a semi automatic, we have just returned from an Easter break to Spain, its performance is excellent. We will be looking to buy a fully automatic motorhome soon, so give us a call if you want we can send you some pics?

They are a very common sight around mainland Europe. Not owned one, but I had a look round one at a used-MH dealers not long ago. Looked very well built and solidly put together. My understanding of Iveco base is that it's very solid, more or less bulletproof running gear.

A spacious camper with a handy layout that you no longer see nowadays, Italian Design with a strong 2.5 liter Turbo Intercooler and double air at the rear. Although the camper is from 1995, it has always been stored indoors and has always been well maintained. We received compliments from the appraiser on how it looks for its age.

We, our family of 5 people and a dog, have used the camper for a few weeks every year in the summer. In addition, my parents, the original owners, traveled throughout Europe every summer.

Because we cannot yet make optimal use of the camper, it is now regularly rented out. Insurance has been taken out for this, including SOS assistance throughout Europe.

Originally it is a 7 person camper, but then you can hardly take anything with you. Ideal is 2 to MAX 5 people. More persons are not allowed! There are seat belts for 5 people. Not suitable for 5 adults, so a family with children under 18 years of age could, in consultation.

It seems big, but before rental I will always test drive it to give you instructions and tips. The tenants all say that shifting gears and driving takes some getting used to and that you get used to it after a few hours. Thanks to the powerful engine, it has no trouble in the mountains or hills.

The camper is also well suited for free parking/camping (not in winter) without facilities. This is due to its large water tanks (clean and dirty!) and its 3 solar panels. The last tenants had it with them for 2 weeks and visited a campsite/camper site once.

It has a shower, toilet (with fixed waste water tank), (gas) oven, (gas/electricity) refrigerator, 4-burner gas stove and a heater.

There are 2 double beds, 1 of which is a pull-down bed (190 x 130 cm) above the driver and passenger seat and is therefore always made up and 1 is a double bed (180 x 90/120 cm), a single bed (180x65 cm). ) and 2 long single beds (200 x 60 cm). When using a bunk bed, i.e. above and below, there is a small storage space left, which is why the lower part is almost never used, creating a spacious storage space.

In short, it is ready to drive away after loading your own belongings and go on holiday through Europe.

Preference: not to Italy/Croatia!

Please feel free to contact me to come and view the camper, for example.

Mobilveta Euroyacht 175 LX

By Archiesgrandad March 8, 2016 in Motorhome Matters

Recommended Posts

Archiesgrandad.

Just spotted a Euroyacht 175 LX for sale on Autoscout 24, and it could be just the van to replace the Pilote.

It's 1998 on an Iveco chassis, but there is no indication of the gross weight. Could one of you guys take a look through your back copies etc to see if you can work out whether or not it might be under 3.5 tonnes. I've tried to look it up on the internet, but I'm hopeless at it, and I need to know before I start chasing around France , talking to foreigners etc.

Many thanks

There was a 3.5 GVW of the daily back then but Looking up a 98 MMM buyers guide No GVW listed only payload. Euroyacht came in three sizes

140- 487kg payload probably on the 3500 kg GVW chassis.

170- 1130kg PL probably on the 4000kg GVW

180- 1100kg PL probably on the 4000kg GVW.

Allowing for the usual makers optimism on ULW I doubt the 140 has much payload and the bigger ones are too big.

Solwaybuggier

Found an old advert from a Dutch website which suggests a GVW of 3500 kg -

http://www.speurders.nl/overzicht/caravans-en-kamperen/campers-overige-merken/mobilvetta-euro-yacht-175-camper-135231441.html

Many thanks guys, that is exactly what I hoped for, I will see how we get on.

The Euroyacht was built on two different base vehicles . the 140 gvw 3500kg on a FWD Ducato

The 170 175 180 on the RWD Iveco daily chassis with gvw 4000kg.

The rear wheels are the giveaway.

The Ducato has a single wheel at the back. Dished outwards like the front

The Iveco rear axle has twin wheels bolted back to back and the outer has a deep inward dish that can be seen in photographs.

This 2014 discussion relating to a 1998 Euroyacht may be of interest

http://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Axle-weights-/36008/

It seems likely that all Euroyacht 170/175 motorhomes left the Mobilvetta factory with a maximum overall weight of 3500kg, and as the motorhome you mention is being sold in France

http://www.truckscout24.com/vehicle-details/Caravans-Campers-Mobilvetta-Euroyacht-175-LX-Semi-Integrated/16158329/2

it’s a racing certainty that this vehicle will not have been uprated beyond 3500kg.

These motorhomes are based on a hefty Iveco twinned-rear-wheel ‘truck’ chassis with little regard to constructional weight-saving and I’d be extremely wary of potential payload issues at the 3500kg limit.

There’a a buyer’s guide here

http://www.practicalmotorhome.com/advice/30495-used-van-buyers-guide-mobilvetta-euroyacht-motorhome

I own exactly that model on an Iveco chassis 2.8TD & it is plated @ 3500 GVW ;-) Must add to that it is an excellent vehicle. Brilliant layout, very comfortable in all aspects.

It’s perhaps worth mentioning that when your 3500kg GVW Euroyacht was MOT-tested its weight was measured at 3486kg, leaving just 14kg of extra ‘payload’ available.

It’s unlikely that the weight of the Euroyacht in the French advert will differ significantly from your vehicle’s, which means that AGD would need to be ultra careful about loading it or ignore the probability that it’s going to exceed the 3500kg maximum in normal use.

Although SVTech advised you that your motorhome’s 3500kg weight-limit could be uprated to 3850kg, the chances of this approach being authorised in France are minimal as the French rules regarding uprating are far stricter than the UK’s. So, even if AGD has an ‘over 3500kg’ driving-licence entitlement, taking a French-registered 3500kg Euroyacht beyond that weight limit will almost certainly be a non-starter.

If the first line figure of 14kg effective payload is correct just the driver boarding would put it well overweight..

George Collings - 2016-03-11 11:30 PM   If the first line figure of 14kg effective payload is correct just the driver boarding would put it well overweight..  

That’s what was said...

I have a 1996 copy of “Which Motorcaravan” magazine and the Mobilvetta entry in the buyer’s gude listing indicated that Euroyacht 170 and 190 models were then being marketed in the UK (in LHD) by Don Amott. The base vehicle was said to be an Iveco 40.12 and the payload was quoted as 1130kg for the 170 and 1100kg for the 190. However, what firm evidence there is points to Iveco-based Euroyachts marketed in the late-90s being plated at 3500kg, which - given the vehicle’s specification - would make a large usable payload very doubtful.

It’s probable that the Euroyacht 175 in the AutoScout24 advert is plated at 3500kg and - if that’s so - there’s every reason to think it will have been operated at that weight since 1998. French motorcaravanners (being generally restricted to driving up-to-3500kg camping-cars and liking the idea of big ones) don’t appear to be too fussed about driving overweight motorhomes, whereas UK motorcaravanners seem more concerned about doing this.

It should be straightforward enough for AGD to confirm the advertised Euroyacht’s maximum gross weight, but less easy to establish the payload reliably without actually weighing the vehicle. As he has had so much bureaucratic pain over registering his RHD Pilote in France, it would be sensible that he be aware at this stage of possible payload limitations with the Euroyacht and that the UK procedure of gaining extra payload by chassis ‘uprating’ is unlikely to be practicable in France.

I would like to thank everyone for such a fantastic response, I do like the look of the Euroyacht, but the weight problem bothers me, I only have the 3.5 tonne licence now, so I think I will wait until after I have returned the Pilote to the UK and sorted that out. What an incredible bunch you really are, many thanks.

Mobilvetta Euroyacht Windscreen Help Needed

• Thread starter Mike4727
• Start date May 11, 2019

• May 11, 2019

A pal of mine here in Bulgaria has acquired this 2002 motorhome with heavy frontal damage including destroyed windscreen. Progress with repairs is good but unable to locate a replacement windscreen anywhere so far. Does anyone have any ideas on availability in UK please, new or second hand, thanks in advance. Mike  

If you can provide details of the vehicle, model etc. you might get a few more replies! Autoglass would be a place to start but there are independent suppliers as well. Just search for windscreen replacement on this forum and see what comes up.

I understand annabel edwards at travelworld has gone back into selling windscreens. Perhaps a call to her might help??

Thanks very much for that Vic, will let you know the results, Mike  

I had a Mobilvetta some time back,the front screen is in three parts, the main centre section and two curved bits at the sides. I did not have a problem with mine but I was told when I purchased the van that the main screen was a standard Fiat Ducato screen, worth investigating.  

The code on my screen ICS - might be manufacturer E6 is where it was made - Belgium 43R is the glass type 003084 is the type approval Found this - might be worth trying http://www.efkglass.com/en/home
