Used ‘van buyer’s guide – Mobilvetta Euroyacht motorhome

If you're searching for used motorhomes for sale but you still want some luxury, we think the Mobilvetta Euroyacht A-class motorhomes are worth considering

Published: October 10, 2014

Luxurious and powerful, the Mobilvetta Euroyacht A-class motorhomes built between 1996 and 2002 should be on your ‘must-see’ list if you’re thinking of buying a deluxe motorhome.

As we do regularly at Practical Motorhome, online and in the magazine , here we are focusing on a great used mainstream motorhome, giving you expert advice so you are able to buy with confidence. We tell you which is the best of the bunch, what to pay and any problems to look out for.

This time, we are looking at the Iveco-based Mobilvetta Euroyacht. If you are looking for the best luxury used motorhomes for sale, make sure you take a look at some pre-owned Euroyachts. 

Mobilvetta Design began making high-end furniture in 1961 – in 1976 it built its first motorhome. Around 20 years later, the company launched the Euroyacht, which – when coupled with the bombproof twin-rear-wheel-drive Iveco chassis-cowl – resulted in one of the best A-class motorhomes ever built. 

These Italian lovelies really were in a class of their own, featuring 
quality cabinetwork with traditional joinery and radius hardwoods. The high standards of equipment levels and practical, new-to-Britain layouts led to them sailing out of the showroom with ease.

The Iveco-based range kicked off with the 6.8m 170 LX and 175 LX models. The 170 has a forward lounge and a midships kitchen ahead of a rear washroom. The 175, meanwhile, has double and single Pullman dinettes and bunk beds – bringing the sleeping-berth count to seven!

Next up was the 7.45m 180 LX, with a similar lounge to the 170. However, the extra length allows a fixed, European-style corner bed ahead of the full-width rear washroom.

The Mobilvetta Design Euroyacht A-class coachbuilt was built in Barberino Val D’Elsa, Tuscany, Italy between 1996 and 2002. The Euroyacht’s overall length is a modest 6.85m to 7.45m (22ft 6in to 24ft 6in).

So, what should you look out for when looking round a used Mobilvetta Euroyacht at a motorhome dealership? Here are Practical Motorhome’s expert tips to help you buy better. Let’s start with the base vehicle. The 2.5- and 2.8-litre mechanical injection TD units are under-stressed and should – given regular maintenance – last 250,000 miles. On early five-speeders, the first gear was so short that many drivers didn’t bother to use it: so do check that it can still be selected easily.

Some back-axle noise is acceptable, but avoid motorhomes with incontinent gearboxes and rear-axles. Almost all examples of the Mobilvetta Euroyacht are left-hand drive vehicles, which might be an advantage if you spend a lot of time on tour abroad in your motorhome. 

The skirts of the Euroyacht can discolour over time, and the gel coat on the moulded GRP front end cap goes flat! Bargain hard if this is the case, but be prepared to put a lot of effort in if you decide that you want to restore it to its former glory.

The foam in the habitation seat squabs was soft even when new, so this is likely to need replacing for maximum seat comfort. 

So, what do we think of these ‘vans? Here are our likes:

• Eye-candy good looks
• Revolutionary (in their day) layouts
• Twin-rear-wheel drive
• Easy chassis upgrade

And our dislikes: 

• Three-piece windscreen has blind spots
• Challenging access to the in-line engine

What’s our pick of the range? Well, unless you have a large family, go for the Movilvetta Euroyacht 180 LX. We think this is the motorhome that offers the most sensuous luxury. 

But what to pay? Mint examples are available from close to £18,000. Those that have been lived-in and need an interior overhaul are sometimes available on eBay from £10,000 (on European plates).

What alternatives are there? You could also try the  Laika Ecovip 200i and 400i Iveco-based A-class models, or the Mobilvetta Icaro. These have the same layouts and are also based on Iveco vans, but have been built as overcab coachbuilt motorhomes. Consider all three if you see them come up at a good price on the secondhand market. 

Need help finding a good motorhome dealer that you can trust? Every year, Practical Motorhome invites readers and website users to rate their motorhome and also their supplying dealer, as part of the Owner Satisfaction Survey . As a result we have fantastic feedback on all the best and worst dealerships out there, as well as reliability ratings for different brands of motorhomes. So take a look at the findings in our 2014 Owner Satisfaction Survey  when searching for motorhomes for sale, to help determine who to buy from and what to buy. The full results were published in the April 2014 issue of Practical Motorhome magazine – back issues are available by calling 08456 777 812, while stocks last.

If you are looking for the best luxury used motorhomes, make sure you take a look at some pre-owned Euroyachts

Euro-yacht??

• Add to quote

Hi,All, Spotted for sale a IVECO-DAILY Euro yacht motorhome , running on a 2.8 diesel engine. Has anyone any experience of this vehicle, I think it is made by an Italian firm because it is by Mobilvette or something like that. Does anyone know what chassis it is? (the vehicle is a 1997 model) Just wondered because we are looking to upgrade our van soon. Kind regards, Dave.......  

Surely you have already answered your own question ??? The chassis is an Iveco Daily Trevor  

euro yacht Maybe i should rephrase my question!! Has anyone been fortunate to have owned this particular vehicle or one like it based on this chassis? if so, some helpful comments would be appreciated. 8O Kind regards Dave...  

I think these were imported by Don Amott at Hilton in Derbyshire. I recall looking at them as they were very stylish and at the higher end of the A-class market. They were well beyond my means. Mobilvetta is a recognised Italian company who made good vans with style. It is/was part of the SEA group which has had a more turbulent history recently - Auto Sleepers was part of the group for a while. Ensure you can get parts for the Mobilvetta part of the vehicle. Most of their dealers seem to be in the south. The Iveco Daily is a workhorse with a very good reputation in the commercial vehicle sector. Check the weight of the van because if it is at the top end of the scale, the old 2.8 will be challenged to make good progress compared to modern motores. Like now, many of the top class under 6,000 kg motorhomes used the chassis. There are numerous Iveco dealers around.  

Hi, Brock, thanks for your reply,the info you provided was very much appreciated. Kind regards, Dave.........  

Do you mean like one of these. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOBILVETTA-EURO-YACHT-175-MOTORHOME-/400105457865 cabby  

Hi we have a euroyacht 1998 LHD the quality is brilliant, the Italian furniture makers did a fab job on design, the bathrooms are large, the kitchen is tucked away so easy to cook, and the kitchen sink and drainer are large, pleanty of room, well thought out motorhome. The pull down bed just tucks up after use, so no bedding to have to keep putting away. Ours is a semi automatic, we have just returned from an Easter break to Spain, its performance is excellent. We will be looking to buy a fully automatic motorhome soon, so give us a call if you want we can send you some pics?

They are a very common sight around mainland Europe. Not owned one, but I had a look round one at a used-MH dealers not long ago. Looked very well built and solidly put together. My understanding of Iveco base is that it's very solid, more or less bulletproof running gear.

From page 6 the downloaded instructions are in English They are not for a 2001 Euroyacht (too modern) but some things might be relevant so still worth a read. If you have any questions about a 190 I might be able to help
