The Carthago c-tourer sleeps 5. Note that berths (sleeping capacity) often differs from seatbelts (travel capacity). Always check the specific seatbelt count for legal passenger limits while driving.

About the Carthago c-tourer

The Carthago c-tourer represents the pinnacle of premium German motorhome engineering, bridging the gap between standard coachbuilts and high-end liners. Available in both lightweight and comfort configurations, it is built upon the prestigious AL-KO low-frame chassis, offering a sophisticated driving experience and enhanced stability. The hallmark of the c-tourer is its heated double floor basement, which not only provides cavernous storage solutions but also protects domestic water systems from freezing, making it an exceptional choice for all-season touring throughout the UK and the Alps.

Inside, the cabin exudes a 'five-star hotel' atmosphere, characterized by Carthago's 'Smartline' furniture architecture and meticulously crafted joinery. Owners can choose between the nimble Fiat Ducato or the luxurious Mercedes-Benz Sprinter base, both offering seamless integration with the living area. Whether you prioritize a payload-friendly 3.5t chassis for a standard car license or a heavy-duty variant for maximum luxury, the c-tourer delivers a refined environment with ergonomic lounge seating and a market-leading visibility concept for the driver.
