• Club awards

Starting life as a furniture manufacturer, Mobilvetta was established in the 1960s and evolved to produce recreational vehicles - specifically “travelling homes” rather than furnished vans which were popular at the time. Utilising the skills of their Artisan quality craftsmen the Company soon became renowned for their well-designed, functional and innovative motorhomes. 

Today Mobilvetta motorhomes have very distinctive style and are still produced in Italy by a team of craftspeople who carefully consider their choice of materials, use cutting edge technology and still employ extreme attention to detail.  Marquis Leisure are the sole importers of Mobilvetta.

Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-80 2017

By Peter Baber Published: November 10, 2016

It's sophisticated, features an eye-catching layout and costs a sliver under £65,000 – don't miss our Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-80 review

Comparing the Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-80 with rivals is tricky. Why? A-classes with a rear lounge, two drop-down beds and underfloor heating are practically unheard of!

The nearest comparison is with the Rapido 9094dF, but that starts at £72,500 with a 130bhp engine. The Mobilvetta, therefore, looks to be even better value.

There’s a super rear lounge Not only is there underfloor heating, but it’s neatly installed You’re getting a lot for your money

The space-saving washroom is rather compact

For the 2017 touring season, Marquis Leisure is taking things up a gear, offering a trio of new A-class motorhomes.

With the Benimar brand, the Marquis dealership network has a unique offering among new low-profile and overcab coachbuilts. Because its sister company is Auto-Sleepers , it has a foothold in van conversions, too.

Now it’s looking to add A-classes, by taking on three models from Mobilvetta . Who? Well, it’s an Italian brand that – like Spain’s Benimar – is part of the Trigano Group, but that hasn’t been sold in the UK for a while.

Marquis has selected three models from the K-Yacht Tekno Line range of maritime-influenced A-classes, including this, the K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-80 , the only one to feature a rear lounge.

A-classes with a rear lounge, two drop-down beds and underfloor heating are practically unheard of!

The Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Line MH-80’s front lounge includes a large, L-shaped settee, a good-sized table that slides in all directions, and a side seat. But there might be some squabbling about who has to sit on the inner of the two rear travel seats, because legroom there isn’t generous.

They won’t want for entertainment, however. There are two USB sockets here, as well as an individually controlled light. Speakers beneath the drop-down bed should provide perfect sound for anyone sitting in the cab seats watching the TV over the rear travel seats.

The rear lounge is more exciting, and is the most yacht-like part of the motorhome. It’s not strictly speaking U-shaped, because the offside is taken up by a wooden shelf that you can lift up to gain access to the garage – doing so also reveals a second TV bracket, with a shelf underneath for your DVDs. Still, you can easily seat five or six people in here.

The table plays no part in sleeping arrangements, there being a drop-down bed here, too. But it can still be moved up and down, giving you either a coffee table, or a dining table – albeit one that you can only use two sides of.

Three large windows allow in plenty of light, and the designers have cleverly used mirrors on the undersides of the overhead lockers to bounce in even more, and there’s plenty of LED lighting, too.

In between the two lounges is an offside kitchen with a brilliant-white work surface and a large stainless-steel sink. Its cover can be clipped to the side wall to make a flimsy shelf. Although you only get a three-burner hob, the whole area is well lit.

Across the corridor – slightly further than you might be used to – there is a 150-litre fridge with a SMEV oven and grill above it.

To the front of the fridge and oven you’ll find a washroom that includes a separate shower cubicle – although the washbasin is situated within it. The shower comes with lights and a modern-looking showerhead. There’s also an extractor fan, so the two mirrors shouldn’t mist up.

The only slight surprise is that the shower door folds back to be held by a strip of Velcro – we’re not sure how long this will last.

With the manually operated front drop-down bed (which measures 1.86 x 1.36m) you get two individually controlled spotlights, as well as a large rooflight.

The electric rear bed is marginally larger, measuring 1.88 x 1.4m. But has no headboard, so you have to watch out for the windows.

The garage isn’t large enough for bikes, but there’s a useful side locker.

We also appreciated the way the catches for all external locker doors slip out of a solid housing, making them less likely to jam.

There’s one overhead locker with solid internal shelves in the front lounge. The large space under the side seat provides neat access to the battery beneath, but the space under the L-shaped seat is taken up by the water tank.

There’s a similar overhead locker in the kitchen, as well as a pan cupboard, large drawers and a wide shelf.

Finally, a large wardrobe between here and the rear lounge comes with a shelf that can be removed if you want to make it full-height.

Breaking news, ukraine launches retaliatory drone strike on moscow after attack on kyiv.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Ukraine overnight tried to attack Moscow with dozens of drones, Russian authorities said Sunday, just a day after Ukrainian officials reported that Russia had launched  its most intense drone attack on Kyiv  since the beginning of its full-scale war in 2022.

Russian air defenses brought down at least 24 drones over the Moscow region — which surrounds but does not include the capital — and four other provinces to the south and west, the Russian Defense Ministry and Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported in a series of Telegram updates.

Neither referenced any casualties.

Andrei Vorobyev, governor of the Moscow region, wrote on Telegram that the drone strikes damaged three unspecified buildings there, adding that no one was hurt.

One drone crashed into a 12-story apartment block in the western Russian city of Tula, about 180 kilometers (113 miles) south of Moscow, lightly wounding one resident and causing limited damage, local Gov. Aleksei Dyumin wrote on Telegram on Sunday morning.

Moscow’s Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports also briefly shut down because of the drone attack, according to Russia’s state-run news agency Tass.

Both appeared to have resumed normal operation by 6 a.m. local time, according to data from international flight tracking portals.

Russian Telegram channels speculated that Ukrainian forces had deployed a previously unseen type of drone in the purported strike, pointing out some similarities to the Iranian-made weapons Moscow routinely employs in its attacks on Ukraine.

The Russian capital has come under attack from drones regularly since May, with Russian officials blaming Ukraine.

Military analysts commented at the time that the early attacks deployed Ukrainian locally made drones which could not carry as heavy a payload as the Iranian-made Shaheds used by Russia.

As of late morning Sunday, Ukrainian officials did not acknowledge or comment on the strikes, which came a day after Russia targeted the Ukrainian capital with over 60 Shahed drones. A

t least five civilians were wounded in the hours-long assault, which saw several buildings damaged by falling debris from downed drones, including a kindergarten.

The wounded included an 11-year-old child, according to  Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

The Ukrainian air force early on Sunday said it had brought down eight of nine Shahed drones fired overnight by Russian forces.

Also on Sunday morning, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that two Soviet-made S-200 rockets fired by Kyiv were shot down over the sea of Azov, which stretches between Crimea and Ukraine’s Russian-occupied southeastern coast.

According to local news sources, air raid sirens sounded earlier in Russian-annexed Crimea, which on Friday came under  what Russian officials called a major drone attack .

Road traffic was also briefly halted on Sunday morning across the 19-kilometer (12-mile) bridge that connects Crimea to the Russian mainland.

There were no reports of casualties, and no comment from officials in Kyiv.

Elsewhere, parts of Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine were left without power following a nighttime Ukrainian strike on a thermal power plant in the Donetsk region, a Moscow-installed local official reported on Telegram Sunday.

According to Denis Pushilin, who heads the province Russia illegally annexed last year, the attack on the Starobesheve plant took out the electricity in parts of the occupied cities of Donetsk and Mariupol, along with other nearby areas.

On the outskirts of Donetsk, Russian troops have continued their attempts to advance near Avdiivka , the eastern town that has been a Ukrainian stronghold and fighting hotspot since the early days of the war, according to reports by the Ukrainian General Staff and analysis by the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War.

The Ukrainian General Staff on Sunday morning said Kyiv’s forces over the previous 24 hours beat back Russian assaults to the northeast, west and southwest of Avdiivka, as Moscow’s troops strain to encircle the city.

Several Russian bloggers also made unconfirmed claims that Ukrainian forces had begun withdrawing from the industrial zone on Avdiivka’s southern flank, although others said that Russian troops lacked complete control of the area.

These claims could not be independently verified.

Russian shelling killed two civilians in the Donetsk region on Saturday and overnight, acting Ukrainian Gov. Ihor Moroz reported on Telegram on Sunday morning.

Over that same period, Russian shells wounded one person in Ukraine’s northern Sumy province, which borders Russia, according to a Telegram update by the Ukrainian regional military command.
