Considered one of the absolute favorite vehicles of this type by Italians, this is how this vehicle became a small camper with everything needed for a pleasant family holiday outside the city.
The search for the perfect camper, they could make an Indiana Jones movie with this title! Every year the many campers Italians are scrambling to find the ideal vehicle on a new market that offers so many possibilities, really, it’s going crazy! Unless you already know what to look for without fail, perhaps thanks to one of our articles. Here is a great choice.
A small house
Camping holidays are the dream of many Italians who have a privileged relationship with nature and who love excursions, close encounters with animals and trips to places where civilization only reaches a certain point, excluding streets and shops to go shopping. But there is one type of adventure that every camper might find slightly more comfortable and easier to organize.
Let’s talk about the one with the camper, the means that makes the excursion definitely simpler firstly because setting up the tent is no longer important, secondly because the camper – with his companions – is able to move as he prefers even in the surrounding environment to the camping area and finally why do you want to have a real mobile home in your fleet?
Modify the trucks!
Most motorhomes sold in Italy unlike as it happens for example in the USA they are not vehicles designed exclusively for camping but are built on the chassis of existing trucks and vans, a system with which the manufacturers are able to contain costs while still providing a means of proven reliability to their buyers. One brand out of all is very good at this.
Let’s talk about Fiat which built many variations of the famous Fiat Ducato which is also one of the most successful Italian industrial vehicles in the country. Other models such as the Doblò or the Talento rather they never received an official home conversion and were rather self-employed campers creating their own personal campers. Even if in this case, there is a hand of another company not linked to the Italian house.
Big price…
The conversion we are talking about today has been accomplished from a German company which has taken the classic Fiat Talento, one of the most used transport vehicles in Italy since the year of its release on the market and its recent restyling in 2016, and has transformed it into a small camper that really does not miss anything in its its 5.60 meters in length.
We present you the Bela Trendy 2updated version of the Trendy 1 which was instead built on the chassis of another Fiat excellence, the Fiorino. Unlike the other vehicle, the Trendy 2 also manages to satisfy the needs of campers who really don’t like traveling light, it has everything back there including an independent kitchen and a cot for the driver. Importantly, there is no shortage of shower or toilet, saving you from running to the campsite toilet every morning!
From an engine point of view, the vehicle maintains the proven 145 horsepower Iveco engine which has no problem pulling all the extra weight along of the load compartment rear. How much does this vehicle cost? Here is the crux of the question: Bela sells the Trendy 2 for no less than 49,900 Euros, a very high figure after all. Are there cheap alternatives? No doubt. But the vehicle remains very interesting for a more affluent camper…
