Carthago 2023 range review

This leading brand in premium motorhomes is concentrating on minor developments for the 2023 model year, with changes focused on the slimline (2.12m-wide) C-Compactline and the rear lounge Liner-for-two

What's in the range
The range still includes five series of A-class motorhomes and two line-ups of low-profile models – that’s almost 60 variations in total. This includes chassis from Fiat, Mercedes-Benz and Iveco. In addition, there are different décor and upholstery options. All vehicles feature a double floor with basement storage.
New interiors
New for 2023 is the Casablanca interior for the C-Compactline – described as ‘brighter, even friendlier and with a new spacious feeling’. It combines furniture in Noble Cherry with locker doors in high-gloss ivory. Three layouts will be offered: the 6.41m-long I 138 DB with a double bed across the rear, the 6.67m I 141 LE with single beds and Vario swivel bathroom, and the I 143 LE, also with single beds.
Then, the latest version of the Liner-for-two can be recognised by its new exterior graphics, in dark grey, anthracite and gold. Its interior is said to be more inviting, too, thanks to a table and sideboard surfaces in cream, along with new handles for the overhead cupboards and a parquet-style floor. New doors for the washroom and wardrobe incorporate high-gloss ivory with integrated chrome strips.
Time for T
The company may be best known for its A-classes but, perhaps, the big news is the arrival of the first Chic C-line T (low-profile) model based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (with an Al-Ko low-frame chassis).
The new 7.5m-long C-line T 4.9 LE has a floorplan with a large L-shaped lounge and wide side bench seat, spacious corner kitchen with a raised counter and bar, and twin beds that are up to 2m long. In addition, the new model visually stands out with a platinum-coloured bumper.
