Frankia launches I 840 Plus

German manufacturer used the CMT Show in Stuttgart to launch a new tag-axle, A-class motorhome with a massive rear lounge. The I 840 Plus is powered by a Fiat Ducato 174bhp engine and measures a sizeable 8.4m long. To help with reversing it comes with a split rear view camera with a double lens and automatic lens covering. It has a GVW of 5,000kg with a MIRO of 3,950kg giving a payload of 1,050kg. The exterior paintwork is the Silverline finish.

While the twin single, drop down beds over the cab have been seen before, it’s the huge C-shape rear lounge that’s worthy of attention. The seating curves almost all the way around the central table and windows on all sides make it even more panoramic. It faces onto a 32-inch, full HD, wall-mounted TV with built-in DVD player. There’s an Oyster Vision III sat-nav system fitted as standard.

The kitchen features an L-shape work surface with three burner gas hob and sink. There’s a wood trim throughout which even extends to a wood-effect vinyl covering on the tall fridge/freezer. The washing facilities are split between a toilet and wash basin area with a fixed radiator and a separate shower.
