The Pilote C700G motorhome belongs to the Family series (fr. Familiale). Two other models belong to the same series, differing in the types of beds used. However, as the name suggests, all of them were created to meet the needs of a traveling family. Campers with an alcove are vehicles with a raised roof, in which a place to sleep is placed in a special recess between the ceiling and the driver's cabin. And while it might seem that in the times when drop-down beds can be used without raising the roof, the alcove will become a thing of the past, it is not. The important reason is the price - a model with an alcove can usually be bought cheaper than an analogous "low-profile" motorhome.

We are dealing here with a vehicle that is not too big, not too small, and spacious at the same time. Up to 6 people can sleep in the motorhome, which will be great news for both the family and a group of friends. In the case of a motorhome, we will never have everything.
