FOR SALE Rimor Trimarano 7 Berth 7 belted seats motorhome

  1. SOLD
    Lightning our much loved 2012 Fiat Ducato based motorhome and he is up in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

    Lightning was bought after I sold my 1974 T2 Westy a 18 months or so ago as we needed something BIGGER or our next adventures...

    He was our full time home, office and school as we travelled around Europe in him between April 2018 and April 2019 (see map in photos) with our 3 children and he did us proud not complaining once as we did just over 10,000 genuinely trouble free miles getting as far North as Norway and as far South as Gibraltar / Tarifa!

    We are only selling him as we have fallen in love with a little Spanish village in Andalusia in the South of Spain on our travels and are going to be renting a house there from August.

    He passed his MOT when we got back and the next one is now not due until 7th May 2020. We have just used him to go to a family wedding in the Outer Hebrides and we are all going to miss him :-(

    We have loads more pictures of Lightning from our travels here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iEYxMfPwH6gWLp1y8 and happy to answer ANY questions you may have.

    The following video is of EXACTLY the same motorhome as Lightning BUT at a trade show before it had done 45,000 miles like Lightning has but gives you a brilliant idea of the layout etc.


    In addition to what you see on the video above I wanted to highlight some other features Lightning specifically has:
    • 7 belted seats - 4 forward facing and 3 rear facing lap belts.
    • 3 fixed bed areas - bunk bed at rear for 2 people then a HUGE king size bed over the cab. If you are only a family of 4 then this means you never need to swap one of the tables in the lounge area into a single or double bed at night. If you do need an extra single, double or even king size swapping the lounge seats over takes a couple of minutes maximum and not a pain as we thought it could be.
    • Can be driven on a car licence as he's only a 3500kg.
    • LED lighting so battery usage is very low.
    • Solar panel on the roof which powers a separate leisure battery that is only just over 12 months old - receipt from Halfords for this. We managed several days off grid (without hook up) easily using the solar panel for all our laptop, tablet, TV and lighting needs.
    • Gaslow refillable LPG gas system (see https://www.gaslowdirect.com/ for more) which means for around £8 you can fill up at ANY petrol station that has LPG and this then powers the 3 burners on the hob and the Truma boiler for hot water and / or heating. I will include the various adaptors you may need around Europe to fill the LPG up :)
    • Fiamma 4 bike rack for the rear which we never used but can put back on.
    • Amplified TV Aerial and everything ready to put the 12v TV of your choice in. The aerial worked great all across Europe for us.
    • Chocs for wheels and 20M electricity hook up cable included and the 2 pin adaptor for around Europe.
    • Spare wheel - these are not normally standard with motorhome but we have one in the side garage and this has the tyre that was low and an advisory on the last MOT.
    • Timing belt and water pump were done 2017
    I think that's it for now but I will add anything else below as and when I think of them or asked questions.

    We are a genuine family and genuine sellers and would LOVE Lightning to go to a similar family who are going to use him regularly. Lightning is also advertised at a great price, is a proven reliable and honest motorhome as you are likely to find and for the right person give you and your family many more years of happy memories.

    NOTE: We are away camping Tuesday 4th June until Saturday 8th June but can make Lightning available for viewings as of 9:00 Sunday 9th June on a first come first served basis so please let us know via PM if you want to view / inspect ASAP and we will make arrangement to get him from storage.

    £26,000 OVO

    You get a LOT more for your money than you do with a VW badge on the front :)
