The Accordo 105 is a pure two-berth motorhome. At less than 6m in length, it's a sporty, compact, coachbuilt motorhome range that boasts all the benefits of its class but also offers lots of living space.

The lounge features twin inward-facing sofas that are perfect for relaxing or for socialising. The face-to-face layout means it's easy to chat and converse with friends or family, and the sofas are long enough to stretch out on (and comfy enough to tempt to you, too).

When bedtime calls, the sofas convert into a double bed through the easiest of actions. Simply lift slightly and slide the sofas to meet in the middle, and there you have it - the double bed awaits. There's no need to struggle to get everything set up; a welcome feature if you're feeling weary.

The spacious kitchen area is placed centrally here. It's fitted with an oven and grill, and a three-burner gas hob with auto shut-off, which is a useful feature.

However, the real reason to buy this model is further back with an across-the-rear washroom that even offers a separate shower.

Features introduced for this season include the new Whale CompleteHeat system, which runson gas and electric, new exterior water pump sockets, Fiamma bike rails fitted to the rear as standard, new fabrics, graphics and an improved exterior door with a new handle and a waste bin.

The Peugeot Boxer Euro 6.2 engine is a dream to drive - it's a six-speed manual gearbox - and the driving experience is enhanced with some welcome features in the cab. These include full adjustable co-ordinated cab seats, with armrests, driver airbag, DAB radio with steering mounted controls, Bluetooth and USB.
