Le Voyageur Héritage LVXH 7.9 GJL

The smaller of the two new models, the LVXH 6.9 LF (from £148,400), was not available to view at 
the press preview and will make its debut at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf. It will be a sub-7m model with large front lounge and generous rear L-shaped kitchen. There’s no fixed bed, but it has the lengthways drop-down cab bed, typical of Le Voyageur models, and offers maximum living space for a couple.

A metre longer is the new LVXH 7.9 GJL (from £159,400), which is unusual in having the option of a fifth travel seat. This 4.5-tonne, 7.91m motorhome has L-shaped seating on the nearside and a straight sofa opposite (with the option of adding a foldaway travel seat underneath). It comes with a central kitchen and split en suite washroom, while above the garage its twin single beds can slide together electrically to form a double.

Add the Luxury Pack to the LVXH 7.9 GJL (an additional £30,800) and you’ll benefit from Alde heating with heat exchanger, prestige leather upholstery, a second cassette for the toilet, 400W solar power, 3,000W inverter, 310Ah lithium battery, an electric awning and electric waste emptying with a camera system.
