- The Frankia A680 Plus is my favourite motorhome with overcab. The Frankia A740 Plus is also a rear lounge motorhome with sleeping only for two. For rainy days or winter, it would make a great home. I normally do not like overcab models although I can see their benefits giving much more living space.
What do you think of this rear lounge motorhome?
Features :
Extra-large FRANKIA round seating group in the rear
Large panoramic windows around the seating area and an extra-large skylight (optional)
Additional seats for passengers in the round seating group - quick and easy conversion (optional)
Sleep even more comfortably in your Coachbuilt - crosswise, thanks to 15% more space

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. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, La Strada, Frankia, Wavecamper, Maurer, Dreamer, Itineo, Rapido, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Karmann Mobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Bocklet, Woelcke,Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Murvi, Bliss, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow, Holzmobil, Giotti Line, Florium, Fleurette, Ahorn, Westfalia, Space Camper, Orange Work, Concorde, Womondo, Protec, Auto Sleeper, Dethleffs, Ilusion, Gehocab, Malibu, Pilote, Wild Ax, Vantage, Bresler, Tom's Fahrzeugtechnik, Morelo, Swift, Carado and others.
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.

A home on wheels! A Lovely lounge that you could easily spend 8 Hours in. These swivel seat setups just can't compete... imagine trying to relax for the evening in them . 😅
that is very nice indeed. I'd hesitate to take a muddy Labrador into that - if I still had my boy, which I don't, and if I could ever afford such a thing, which I won't. Ah we can dream.
They should make the stairs (to heaven) look less cheap. This could be achieved by simply making them and the wood behind them a light wood colour to match the surrounds rather than white. They wouldn’t stand out like a sore thumb then. I saw another motorhome (Activa One) with the same type of stairs, but they were a light wood colour and looked much classier!
Clever design with beautiful build quality,fit and finish.Just need somewhere good to take it for the vacation.
I enjoyed watching the Video. The best overcab Motorhome 😀
Love it!
We have the Dethleffs Alpa 6820-2, have seen the 740 in person. The Dethleffs has much better kitchen layout. Feels better built. Bigger garage too.
Always nice to see a different opinion Steve.
I really like this motor home. That big lounge looks like it drops down to make a bed. Does it? I the the steps up to the other bed is really cool. Are the steps adjustable? Kinda looked like it. Overall, you are right Alan, I can see why you like it!😊
A bed can be made in the back as an option Tiffany but the steps are not adjustable!
@@VanlifewithAlan thanks so much for actually answering me back. So many RUclipsr will give tours of RV’s and when those of us watching comment and ask questions, they never answer back. So I thank you Alan!😊
I’m often not keen on this layout; expensive motorhomes with a bed area that looks like a claustrophobic tent. However, this seems nicely done.
The only thing that comes close to this in North America is the Leisure Travel Unity RL. This is absolutely brilliant. Maybe someday North America will have good RVs.
This is the best interior I've seen. I do like the rear lounge and over cab bed. This is the way forward. I wonder if they make a large van in this style.
Really nice one!
But where should i put my scooter?
Rear ramp maybe.
Won't it fit in the garage?
@@VanlifewithAlan nop, its like an old italian vespa. 😅
Are you sure Alan. It’s nice but this ain’t the the best over head sleeper I seen you review.👍 remember that 8 sleeper with the bunk beds at the back. Anyway this is nice 👍
That would be probably from Carado - although it could have been another brand. I would definitely prefer this one! The only model for me that comes close is the Robel 4x4 motorhome!
You prefer this to the Alpa 6820 which seems wider than this and much larger garage.
I do prefer this one to the Alpa - but that is me. The Alpa has the same width if memory serves me correctly.
@@VanlifewithAlan that’s the beauty of opinions we all have them. I’m obviously a little biased since I have ALPA but you just seem to get more for your money with the ALPA and having the garage makes it a lot more practical.
@@happymotorhoming What is curious here is that a friend who is also considering the Alpa asked me to film them for him and give my opinion. I shall let him know what you think too!
A680 as per title or A740 as per commentary?
Thanks Peter - I have changed the title now.
Looks like yer an could do with a shampoo and set on the outside . Ay Alan 😂😂😂
Beginning of January so I would not have washed it then! I do the washing when the weather is warm!
