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

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

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

Dvortsovaya Naberezhnaya (Palace Embankment)

A unique feature of the Palace Embankment: half of the two dozen houses located here are palaces. One of them is famous throughout the world - the Winter Palace of the Russian imperial family. In fact it is doubly famous not only as a former royal palace, but also as home to the Hermitage, one of the world's greatest museums of art and the largest museum in Russia. Palace Embankment is also notable for the fact that it opens with perhaps the best views of the Neva River. On the opposite bank there are several attractions almost as famous as the Hermitage - the Rostral Columns on Vasilievsky Island and the Peter and Paul Fortress.

Construction of the embankment began on the left bank of the Neva in the first years of St. Petersburg opposite the Peter and Paul Fortress. It was initially called the Verkhnaya (Upper) Embankment. Only those who had a connection to the fleet or shipbuilding were allowed to live here. One of the first houses on the waterfront was that of Admiral General Fyodor Apraksin. It was originally built of wood in 1711, and then as a two-story stone palace in the Petrine Baroque style. This was the first palace of Peter I, and the house in which the founder of St. Petersburg lived and subsequently died in 1725. The walls of this small palace were later used in the construction of the Hermitage Theater.

After 1732, the Empress Anna Ivanovna told the architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli to expand and rebuild the Apraksin Mansion. Rastrelli turned it into the new Winter Palace, but this palace did not seem elegant and luxurious enough for the next ruler, Elizabeth Petrovna. She ordered Rastrelli to reconstruct the Winter Palace along grander lines. He died before the completion of the work. The current Winter Palace was not completed until 1762 under Catherine the Great, by which time its high baroque architecture and rococo decorations were rapidly going out of fashion. Its construction led to the naming of nearby Palace Square, the Palace Embankment, and Palace Bridge.

It should be noted that not only the Winter Palace but rather all the other buildings on the waterfront were originally built in the 18th century and rebuilt several times each time becoming more lush and majestic. The best architects of St. Petersburg worked on almost all of them for their first two centuries of existence: Domenico Trezzini, Giacomo Quarenghi, Carlo Rossi, Antonio Rinaldi, Jean-Baptiste Vallin de la Mothe, Alexander Briullov, Andrei Stackenschneider, and Yuri Felten. Under their leadership, the magnificent building of the Bolshoi and the Maly Hermitage, the Hermitage Theatre, the Marble Palace, Saltykov Home, Cantemir palace, Ivan Betsky Mansion (also known as the Palace of the Prince of Oldenburg) were all built. In the 19th century, the Novo-Mikhailovsky Palace, the Palace of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich, and the state wing of the Marble Palace appeared near them.

Such grandiose construction work required serious strengthening of the banks of the Neva. Already in the mid-1710's wooden walls had been constructed and filled with sand and stones. The first granite embankment was built in 1763-66, and improved a decade later. Oak piles were laid in the ground and between them granite blocks held together with iron cramps. The whole structure was then filled with lead. Thus 100 meters of shoreline were placed into the river bed. Finally, the promenade was revived with granite creating the picturesque slopes to the water. It was decided to separate the embankment from the Summer Garden. Finally came the famous fence designed by Felten.

At the turn of the 20th century, Palace Bridge provided a permanent connection between the embankment and Vasilievsky Island, while Trinity Bridge connected it to the Petrograd Side. Both bridges are engineering masterpieces of the time. In 1923-1944, the embankment was named in honor of the events of January 9, 1905, when government troops opened fire on a peaceful demonstration of workers in St. Petersburg. During the Second World War, parts of the facades of buildings were severely damaged by bombs and artillery fire, but after the war extensive restoration work was carried out.

Today, many people walk on Palace Embankment. There are a lot of people strolling, admiring the spectacular views during the day and the opening of the bridges at night. From the docks in front of the Hermitage, Meteor hydrofoils set sail along the Neva to the park and palaces at Peterhof.
