Weinsberg has developed into a kind of bargain smithy.
As a subsidiary of Knaus-Tabbert, decent motorhomes roll onto the pitches under the traditional name, with the semi-integrated Caracompact Edition Pepper even becoming a bestseller, which was valued for its extensive equipment.
The semi-integrated model Carasuite 700 ME is a class above it, with single longitudinal beds in the rear and a separate shower over a total length of 7.41 meters it is not a miracle of space, but it offers two additional sleeping places with a fold-down bed and is therefore very variable.
The large Carasuite costs 68,590 euros.
With the 140 hp Fiat Ducato diesel and a few extras, the price increases to 77,226 euros.
The Weinsberg mobile towers almost three meters into the sky, and the navigation system occasionally warns that the passage under bridges on this route will be a bit tight.
In addition, a decent step up is necessary to get inside the semi-integrated.
The step of the coupe entrance is 43 centimeters high, an electric entry step is recommended for a surcharge.
Inside, the standard decors from Weinsberg welcome you: furniture flaps in cream, bodies in dark brown, the plastic floor with parquet imitation in a similar color tone.
The enormous exterior height does not continue inside over the entire length of the vehicle.
Under the fold-down bed (192 × 140 centimeters), which is pulled down manually, it is only around 1.90 meters, further back at 2.10 meters even giants can stretch.
They are also easier to get to the upper cabinets in the kitchen.
Because anyone who measures less than 1.70 meters needs extreme platform soles to be able to reach the compartments.
Or a step that would also be helpful when entering the Carasuite.
The usual semi-dinette is expanded to include a seat (with plenty of storage space under the upholstery) on the right-hand side of the living area. With the above-mentioned comfort equipment, not only the shading blinds but also the rotating pilot's chairs come into the driver's cabin, with which there is space for up to five people at the extendable table.
Although there are plenty of lamps and spotlights, the fold-down bed blocks the sun during the day, and no light then penetrates through the large roof hatch above the lying surface.
The premium door (700 euros surcharge) should improve the view with its additional window.
Also in the bedroom at the back there is only one window installed as standard, an opposite one for almost 400 euros extra is advisable because of the better ventilation.
Even if there are no expensive plate springs under the two mattresses (201 × 86 centimeters), sleeping comfort is good.
The combined roller blinds for blackout and insect protection are kept simple, and if you leave the light on for too long, you will lure one or the other pest through the gap between the fly screen and the wall.
