Wingamm and La Strada motorhomes

We had a chap stay earlier this year who had taken a leaky kontiki completely apart as a lock down project. He kept all the internal equipment and then using the skills he learnt from his boat building dad he built a fibreglass habitation area, re used all the existing windows roof lights etc. He did admit it was costly but probably cheaper and a better end result than replacing the existing walls, back roof etc.
Then this week we had a La Strada on a merc chassis. The thing with la Strada and wingamm is it a monocoque fibreglass body. No joints, no seals = no leaks.
I had a go on their configurators the end products are not cheap but if I won the lottery there’s a La Strada out there with my name on it.

Some of the old Autosleepers were built the same way, you still see them on the road

Wingamm is quite luxurious, just look at how the locker doors are made, of course it costs.
Not to mention the interior design.
Personally I have had a less expensive AIEsistem for twelve years and I confirm that nothing can match the quality of monocoque.
Almost impossible leaks, zero noise (the furniture is drowned in fiberglass).

Do not forget the ease of repair in case of accidents.

When I sold mine it looked like it just came out of the factory.

Etrusco is one of low cost brands of Hymer group.
Built in what we call "camper valley", few kilometers south of Florence.
As well as other "mini-brands" of the group.

Even Trigano has factory overthere.
Roller Team, Arca, etc.
