Morelo Home: Enjoy with five stars

Three years ago, Morelo launched the Empire Liner, with a progressive design that immediately set the trend for the future of the German manufacturer of luxury liners. The Morelo Home has now rolled off the drawing board again for model year 2020, with clear features from the Empire Liner series.

Morelo is part of the German Knaus Tabbert Group (KTG) and is an important player in the luxury liners segment: the superlative of integral campers. The premium brand is imported by Haffkamp Campers from Sittard, Limburg. The Home, the smallest in Morelo's premium segment, has been completely redesigned. High time for a renewed acquaintance.

Impressive appearance

The Home is built on the Iveco Daily chassis. Propulsion is provided by a 3,0 liter diesel engine with a power of 180 hp. There are five models available, of which the 74H is the smallest, with a maximum permitted mass of 5.800 kilos. Due to its dimensions, even the 'smallest' Home has an impressive appearance, with a length of 7,45 meters and a height of 3,32 meters.

The liner has a new, rounded front that makes the Home look more modern. It is equipped with built-in windows all around and there are many service hatches that provide access to luggage compartments that are incorporated in the double floor (2x 44 mm thick) of the car. The walls are also no less than 44 mm thick, made of aluminum with insulating foam in between. The roof has a polyester protective layer that provides a good buffer against hail. We see the same polyester on the underside of the base plate, as protection against splashing water and stone chips. It is also special that the awning is now fully integrated.

Luxurious appearance

As with larger Morelo models, the access door is 11 cm wider than usual. The dark wood combines well with the high-gloss cream-colored cabinet flaps and we see chrome handles and details that give the Home a luxurious look. You can also order the Home with a light type of wood, which provides an even greater sense of space. Spotlights, reading lamps and light frames along the ceiling create a pleasant atmosphere in the evenings.

The upper cabinets are elegantly designed and offer plenty of storage options for clothing and holiday items. In the interior we recognize various design details from the Empire Liner, which take the Home to an (even) higher level.

living area

The living area is made of leather and a striking detail is the removable steering wheel (optional), which allows the driver's seat to slide further back when turned. In the dashboard we see the usual instruments. The Iveco chassis includes various safety systems, such as emergency stop assistant, the electric parking brake and a tire pressure monitoring system for all six wheels.

The L-shaped kitchen is equipped with a three-burner gas stove and the drawers offer plenty of space for cooking utensils. In the kitchen, a floating place has been set aside for the coffee machine, which therefore does not take up any space on the countertop. Further back we come to the bathroom with separate shower and toilet. In this premium class, customers usually opt for the ceramic toilet with macerator and a 200 liter faeces tank. Behind the bathroom we see a spacious double bed spanning the full width of the vehicle (210 cm) – ideal for tall people.

Installations

The Morelo Home is equipped with Alde liquid heating, combined with underfloor heating. Morelo chooses the German premium brand Büttner for the electronic equipment. Solar panels, inverter, lithium batteries: no expense has been spared. Piping and electrical installations are neatly installed and concealed. Water tanks and technical installations are stored frost-free in the double, heated floor, making the Home also a perfect travel companion for winter sports.

Conclusion camper test Morelo Home

After the successful introduction of the Empire Liner, the Morelo Home now also has an innovative design. The liner is equipped for a comfortable and long-term stay on board and high-quality components have been installed. Importer Maurice Haffkamp has – rightly – high expectations of the smallest model among the Morelo liners. Design, installation and finishing are of the highest level.
