Concorde sells cheaper Credo motorhome

Concorde Motorhomes has sold its first $300,000-plus Iveco-based Credo motorhome to an Australian couple.

The Iveco-based, 7.69m-long Credo motorhome is the smallest and cheapest of the four-model, German-built Concorde motorhome range available in Australia, which includes the range-topping, car-carrying 10.8m long Concorde Liner Plus that can cost more than $1million depending on options.

The “entry level” premium European motorhome shares many of the luxury fittings and features of its big brother, albeit with smaller living and storage spaces, lower 5200kg GVM and more affordable $300,000 starting price.

The Concorde Motorhome Credo is based on the rear-wheel drive Iveco Daily 50C16 with 3.0-litre turbo-diesel and eight-speed auto transmission.

“The Credo is different from typical compact motorhomes sold in Australia in that it is designed, finished and fitted out to the uncompromising standards of Europe’s leading producer of luxury motorhomes, Concorde Reisemobile GMBH, which sells more than 500 luxury motorhomes a year,” said Concorde Motorhomes General Manager Allan Stocker.

The A-class motorhome  boasts around 200 standard features in a layout that includes a master bedroom, kitchen, separate shower and toilet, and lounge/dinette, According to Concorde it benefits from “generous headroom with a comfortable 3.25 metres total height, an Alde hot water heater for perfect interior climate, (and) the Concorde One Level Concept with one continuous 350mm high raised floor running through the entire vehicle with no steps, as well as a high-quality wall and ceiling trim for optimum insulation".

“If you think about the $300k price tag, that’s less than most studio apartments in Australia’s major cities. And even if you did find one for that price, the design and finishes of the Credo would easily outshine it – with the advantage that you can take to the roads and holiday with your motorhome," he said.

Some of the Concorde Credo’s stand-out features include an intelligent waste management system in the kitchen, a large wardrobe and separate dressing area in the bedroom, an insulated front shutter for the driving cabin, as well  “pumps and piping systems (in the bathroom that) ensure water pressure provides the same shower experience as a fixed home".

Depending on the floor plan, options include a rear transverse bed with padded headrest or two single beds and one queen bed as well as an optional pull-down bed, and there’s a wide range of leather and fabric finishes.

“The Credo is the highest level of luxury on the market at its price point, which we believe is an attractive offering to Australians looking to combine adventure with comfort,” Stocker said.
