Chausson 788 Titanium VIP motorhome

Titanium is a legendary series from Chausson, combining design and a full range of equipment.

This exceptional series is available for the first time as a VIP version, a level of equipment which not only offers the essentials as standard but also a large number of features which will make your life easier on holiday.

788 Titanium VIP is the on-trend layout.

It offers in less than 7.20m a 160cm-width island bed, a face-to-face lounge, a double door transverse bathroom and a garage.

This model is equipped with the ‘SmartLounge’ and ‘EasyBed’ as standard.

The very clever ‘SmartLounge’ concept provides comfort, attractiveness and practicality both on the road and when you stop.

Each of the two bench seats can quickly be transformed into comfortable seats for road travel (Isofix certified).

The ‘EasyBed’ system lets you raise or lower the bed to adjust the size of the garage area according to your needs. Use a crank to adjust the size of the area; make it higher to transport bikes, for example, or lower for bags and camping equipment.

This extra-equipped series is noticeable even at first glance with its Fiat chassis with grey polyester (GRP) body and specific interior decoration.

Standard VIP equipment is: powerful engine 140HP, automatic transmission, 16in alloy wheels, manual in-cab air-conditioning, double airbag, cruise control, traction +, flyscreen door, extra storage, etc.

Of course, all Titanium VIPs benefit from the same strengths as all of the Chausson low-profiles: water tightness guaranteed for seven years, floor and roof thickness above market standard (roof 55mm and floor 64mm), Styrofoam insulation, Grade III certification…

Its ‘Smartlounge’ concept enables the user to quickly transform bench seats into two comfortable seats for road use.

This extra-equipped series is noticeable at first glance with its Ford chassis with grey polyester (GRP) body and specific interior decoration catching the eye.
