Our Verdict
As a family-friendly motorhome for four that’s under 6m in length, the Burstner works well, but the fixed table can get in the way on site.
Advantages
It won MMM’s Motorhome of the Year 2011
Practical and useable kitchen
Decent-sized washroom
Practical for families yet still under 6m
Sociable lounge layout
Disadvantages
Large table is fixed and got in the way
