In recent years, there has been a heavy focus on European motorhomes, and in my search for the most amazing machines produced over the proverbial pond, I've encountered the one and only Integra Class A motorhomes from Eura Mobil, a German crew that's been spotted on our pages before.
Folks, feast your eyes upon the images in the gallery and try to think really hard about when the last time you saw such a luxurious interior in an RV was. I'm not saying you haven't - there are plenty of North American manufacturers that build RVs with interiors to match or even surpass what we see here, but rarely will that unit come in with a price tag of around €170K or roughly $177K (average price at current exchange rates and depending on features).
Now, they do things a bit differently over in Germany, and as we're all aware, style, efficiency, and ease of use are always a focus for European RV brand and judging by what Eura displays on its website and social media pages, the Integra class isn't lacking in those traits in any way.
For example, the first impression I got upon seeing the interior was that of being inside a private airliner, and that's a feat that I don't encounter too often. I believe we can call this one a land yacht. That feeling is brought on by a balance of color tones and materials that complement one another and aren't too much in any way.
The wall paneling blends beautifully with the beige faux leather seating, and highlighting the remainder of the space are the overhead storage bays we see tattered all over the place. Semi-precious metal accents lie as a cherry on the proverbial cake.
However, all that would mean nothing without perfect lighting. So, to ensure you find the right levels of natural and artificial light, the Integra is jam-packed with windows all around, includes a large skylight, and, last but not least, mood lights integrated into the space.
Further sustaining the whole private airliner idea is the living room. Depending on which of the four floorplans you fall in love with, all of them have a dinette with opposing seating, allowing us to invite guests, have conversations with the entire family over dinner, and even go for some game nights. The only downside of this space is that the possibility of another two-person bed is only an option; as standard, each Integra only offers bedding for four guests.
Speaking of bedding, we clearly need to direct our attention to the most attractive space in the unit, the rear bedroom. Personally, I like the double-bed option spotted in the gallery as it has that gorgeous walk-around and the way the wardrobe and flooring blend into one fluid construction. Did I mention the queen bed is height-adjustable? It is.
One final bedding space is situated at the front of the Integra in the shape of a cab-over area. But, with a neat drop-down design, during day-to-day activities, it's barely even noticeable. Some lighting integrated into the underside hides this feature even further. But, when it's time for bed, lower the construction and toss your kids in there. Judging by how cozy it looks, I'd also take on the opportunity to catch some Zs in this proverbial crow's nest. A skylight above this space is also present and lets you wander off to sleep while teaching the kids the night sky.
While most RVs and motorhomes at this level include a bathroom and galley, the ones found in the Integra need a proper moment to be admired. For instance, no matter the layout chosen for your mobile dreams, all four of them include a split bathroom layout, allowing more than one member of the family to use the facilities at the same time. One will have access to the toilet and vanity, while the other will have the shower.
As for the galley, it's one of my favorite places in an RV, and for the Integra, I just couldn't help but love the sweeping and curved look of the assembly and the way it creates a neat walkway through the middle of the unit. For cooking, a three-burner top is present, and so is an oven; for washing veggies, we have a deep-bowl sink with a high-rise faucet, and for ventilation, a hood range and window. Be sure to check out the way storage shelves are integrated into the wall paneling. Fridges can be as large as 177 l (47 gals), so there is plenty of storage to handle foods for a couple of days or even more.
Last but not least, allow me to point out that the Integra class is also loaded with up to 140 liters (37 gals) of fresh water, integrated under the floor, and heated, so year-round living is possible. However, the Integra isn't perfect, at least not in my eyes. One area where the Integra seems to be lacking is in the off-grid game, mainly because all the manufacturer states as being standard is an 80 Ah gel battery and a 16 A charger; maybe I'm missing something. There's really only one way to find out if Eura Mobil expands this system: give them a call.
Just remember, this is a European RV, and for us North Americans, it'll serve as nothing more than inspiration for a different kind of on-road lifestyle, one that seems to be centered around the RV park.
