Carthago Chic E-LINE - independence and convenience above all
One of the best-selling Carthago models in the so-called The "liners" range is extremely successful and appreciated by customers, the range of E-LINE models. The bigger brother of the C-LINE model, unlike the smaller models, is produced at the company's headquarters in Aulendorf, Bavaria and is available in a number of varieties and configurations, with one common denominator in terms of drive - the base vehicle is always the Fiat Ducato.
Motorhome over 3.5t
The GVM of the models ranges from 4.5 to 5 tonnes for 2-axle models and as much as 5.4 tonnes for 3-axle models. Taking into account the curb weight of individual vehicles in running order, on average, the user has at his disposal a considerable reserve of 900 kg to 1.2 tons.
In addition to the high-quality workmanship characteristic of the Carthago brand and the tight, system-based wall structure without the use of wood, the E-LINE range, apart from a monstrous cargo space, offers impressive independence - standard tanks are clean and gray water tanks with a capacity of 235 and 185 liters, respectively, and the battery capacity is 2x80 Ah (standard) up to 4x80 Ah (option).
From the outside, the design leaves no doubt that we are dealing with a player from the highest league - a large front grille, monstrous windshield, aggressive but majestic headlights and a beautifully defined rear - here classic meets modernity.
The range includes 12 models ranging from 743 to 884 cm in length, each measuring 305 cm in height. There will be space for up to 5 passengers in the vehicle while driving.
Interior in "liner" format
The common element of the internal layout is a comfortable living room for up to 6 people organized around a large, round or rounded rectangular table. The side bench is longer than in the C-Line model, and behind it a 32 or even 40-inch LCD TV slides out (XL models). The entire interior, including the ceiling, is covered with an exclusive fabric.
The interior design, modeled according to the manufacturer's information on the interiors of luxury yachts, is kept in elegant, subdued, timeless colors - the chestnut wood is complemented by varnished, cream elements.
The kitchen is located directly from the entrance and offers a gigantic space for both cooking and storage of ingredients and kitchen utensils. The refrigerator with a capacity of 160 liters is equipped with a freezer compartment and an automatic power source selection mode. Up to this point, the individual interior layouts are essentially identical.
Next, there can be an integrated bathroom or a bathroom in XL format (each with a shower equipped with an exclusive overhead shower), separated by a sliding, wooden door. In terms of bedroom layouts, you can choose models with separate longitudinally placed beds, longitudinally placed king's beds and a transverse bed (the shortest model).
Of course, the sleeping space is complemented by a 195x160 cm front lowered bed for two people as standard. The resignation from the front bed gives additional space in the form of compartments above the living room and a large panoramic window. Wardrobes, cupboards and lockers surround each sleeping space.
The cargo space is primarily a large garage with a usable height from 112 cm to 132 cm, which, with a nominal load of up to 450 kg, allows for convenient transport of supplies, bicycles and even a scooter.
