STRANGE TYPES - PART 2 Living and garage
Travel and relax
An ample rear dinette is certainly an exciting feature but what about the garage? There are several solutions to have the best of both worlds, for instance seating arrangement which can be lifted when needed (see Arca America 1 and LMC Explorer Comfort 655G), a storage locker over the garage or more simply a surface behind the seating arrangement which can be left clear or used to make room for a bed.
Certainly interesting are the living zone solutions with automotive-inspired chairs and central seating for relax. Although not be very common, they have been introduced several times by manufacturers. Hymer S-Klasse 650 Elegance - 2005

Frankia U-shaped seating arrangement Frankia has presented a generous U-shaped rear dinette perfect for enjoying meals with friends and contributing to making the living pod rather breezy many times. It can be paired with a drop-down bed, while on the T640 FF2 the backrests can be lifted and the seating can be turned quickly into two single beds.

Rear drop-down bed Several examples of drop-down rear beds for use when needed have appeared on the European market since 2012. The area under the bed is occupied only a night and remains clear during the day for use as living or loading area. Some of the first models to use this concept were Kentucky Royal DB, Mobilvetta K-Yacht 80, Burstner Harmony and Brevio 605/645, Benimar Perseo 581 and Mileo 282, Challenger 100 and Chausson 500, in addition to several Frankia solutions.

Dethleffs Evan Dethleffs Evan is a world apart from other motorhomes. Introduced for the first time in 2012, it was characterised by a rear access door and loading compartment (in addition to a side door) and optional pop-up roof with additional bed. The original version was 215 centimetres wide and 565 centimetres long. This was followed by a 520-centimetre-long version.
