- The Concorde Credo is the Concorde model series for first-time buyers and helps motorhome aficionados become acquainted with all the advantages of the large vehicles. It is on the Iveco Daily chassis with Euro 6 engines and their specific emission limits for pollutants and greenhouse gases. Chassis up to 5.2 t total weight with a possible load of up to 5.8 t and engines from 156 up to 205 hp with partly optional respectively necessary ZF fully automatic transmission. Design and equipment are in Concorde’s accustomed high standards of quality and functionality. The Credo series offers eight different models from EUR135,050.
Anyone wishing to join the ranks of Liner owners, gets a truly premium-class vehicle - a small Liner - at a reasonable price in the Concorde Credo. The 5.2 metric tonne Iveco Daily 50C16 chassis is standard from 2017. The 2.3 litre, 4-cylinder engine has more than 115 kW (156 hp). A load up to 5.8 metric tonnes with reinforced front axle (2.3 ) is possible. There is also the option of engine versions of C18 with 3.0 litre (180 hp) or C21 with 3.0 litre and 205 hp and ZF converter automatic transmission. This automatic is generally available as an optional extra. The new Concorde models use the very powerful, but also very environmentally-friendly and fuel-efficient Euro 6 engines.
The Credo also boasts a striking (along the lines of the Carver/Charisma models) front mask. The coach mirrors are substantially shorter. The entire vehicle has a continuous living room sandwich floor (lightweight design!) that requires a raised and advanced driver’s compartment to allow the “one-level concept”. The “small” Liner is just 2.33 metres wide which makes it 50 mm narrower than the Carver, for example.
Concorde uses a lightweight piping construction with concave milling for the overhead lockers in the the living and sleeping areas. The flaps and doors of the furniture units are laminated. The living room optionally includes a pull-out table and the steering wheel in the cab seat can be rotated by 180 degrees. Beautiful comfort: The option of a removable steering wheel
In the kitchen area Concorde installs a mineral kitchen worktop (lightweight design) with an integrated round stainless steel sink. The work surfaces are in the usual spacious size and the fittings offer the usual functional comfort of home. The units are in a brilliant white. The reinforced pan rest on the stainless steel stove is new. The drawers all have the comfortable servo soft close.
The bathroom comes in a choice of room or premium bathroom. The form without, the latter with heated towel rails. The cassette toilet with porcelain bowl is very pleasant. A porcelain toilet can be ordered with built-in 160-litre tank.
Concorde equips every model of motorhome throughout the series, including the Credo - some optionally - with high-quality special technology and special technology and special accessories. This includes combining gel batteries with innovative Mastervolt technology.
The John Guest household piping guarantees a powerful, virtually perfect piping system. A water system similar to home. With pre-filter and high water pressure and the resultant advantages: no cross-sectional tapering and reduction of flow rate through branching. No pressure loss as is the case with flexible hoses. Smooth interior walls prevent deposits and ensure exemplary water hygiene.
In terms of heating,Concorde also opts for a piping system with optimised cable routing for the Alde hot water heating. Concorde installs an optional Alde-Flow 6 litre auxiliary boiler and uses the Alde Smart Control.
In the (multi) media sector, Concorde opts for Teleco satellite systems with cutting-edge technology and extremely high reliability. A special sound system ensures - especially with flat-screen TVs - great sound even in the sleeping area. The flat-screens in the living area feature a USB port for connecting a hard drive as a time-shift television, for example.
In contrast, the “soft walk” flooring in a parquet look ensures a high level of virtually silent walking comfort inside the vehicle.
I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
In my RUclips channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles.
I do this by regularly attending trade events such as CMT Stuttgart, Abenteuer und Allrad, Caravan Salon Dusseldorf, Warsaw Caravan and Camping Show and sometimes others.
I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

Love the fruit rack! Great space in the 1st coach... It feels like a coach
lovely design and build quality but I'm always amazed that Concorde seat these huge motorhomes on such small chassis. the wheels look tiny given the size of the motorhome and the payload is terrible as a result . they really should choose a medium truck chassis for these and not a large van chassis!
The second one I prefer as the washroom is excellent
If I was paying that type of money for a motor home, then I'd want to have tag double rear axle for better driving stability, and perhaps want a front drop down bed, to be able to use for family or air bnb hosting business...for travellers..ie make some business out of it too. No. two lay out seemed most luxurious .. however I may prefer better use of the extra needed space to created that? For this type of money I'd expect full solar and lithium batteries included etc. too.
They are pretty short for a tag axle aren't they? It will also make the turning radius longer by doing a tag. Dual rear wheels will give good stability on a short bus like this.
Are the cushions on the wall by the bed normal? Just noticed it on these and was wondering if that is normal in europe. Is that real wood or simulated wood on the doors? The toilet room cabinet looked like paper veneer covered, but the upper cabinets are hard for me to tell if it is wood. The 3rd one the uppers looked like they are all plastic is that what they are? I have seen thousands of "campers" and still pleasantly surprised by some. These are a lot nicer than the first "campers" used.
I don't think any use real wood - it is all lightweight laminate!
@@VanlifewithAlan thanks
For the money number 2.
But I prefer #1.
I'll buy this car
Great luxury, but I wonder how car parking spaces would it take u p and could I park in tiny italian villages?
Alan, this is 3 times the cost of equivalent Hobby with real leather upholstery. Really? 3 times as much? Wow.
I don't think Hobby has an equivalent to this Jeff!
Alan Heath What's so special? Like comparing a Rolls to a ford I guess but how comfortable can you make a chair or a bed? A heater, fridge, shower.
BTW after your other video on the 6m Hobby T60 with Andy, I started drooling over it. Then I changed my mind to a bigger one 7m with a fixed bed a pulldown bed to boot. I made my mind up.
It will be mainly for me full time, gf part time and grown up kids very rarely. Now you've gone and burst my balloon with you comment. Sensible as it is. That an experienced camper would never have a spare bed. As I've never phyically been inside a mobile home and you've been in hundreds, my mind is in turmoil. I don't know whether to thank you or curse you but I do respect experience.
That is a nice way of putting it Jeff.
That I cannot answer Jeff. I can only point out my experience but not make a decision for someone else!
Alan Heath Hi Alan, I wasn't asking you to decide for me. I know you can't recommend this or that because of legal action.
I was just taking part in a bit of light hearted banter and was looking for some generalisations based on your experience. I know you hate microwaves, large fridges, steps, roof beds etc. I would have liked some light hearted comments on long vs short but I guess you don't have any opinions. Thanks anyway.
