LMC Style 440D: especially for the Netherlands

It was introduced last year especially for Dutch campers and the LMC Style 2021D will be updated for model year 440. A 'Dutch' caravan from Sassenberg, Germany: extended due to success.

LMC builds caravans according to the LLT method: Long Life Technology. This means, among other things, that plastic frames, rather than wooden frames, were used in the sandwich walls. The floor of the Style is also produced according to this construction method, which means that LMC can provide a 12-year guarantee on watertightness – a unique experience in the caravan world.

Exterior

For model year 2021, the Style 440D has been improved in a number of details to better meet the wishes of the Dutch camper. The caravan has a smooth plate instead of hammered, an awning lamp has been mounted and the adapted striping gives the caravan a sleek appearance. The Style is equipped with a drawbar cover at the front and the caravan is delivered with alloy wheels. The rear of the caravan looks modern, thanks to the beautiful rear lights.

Dutch style

The Vivo Style 440D was specially developed for the Dutch market. This means that dealers and importers have had a lot of say in the layout, the dimensions of the bed and the styling. German customers, for example, are happy with many wood tones in the interior and multi-colored upholstery. For Dutch customers it could be a bit more modern and a bit less 'burgundy'. That is why, for example, the doors of the upper cabinets have a white touch with chrome details and the upholstery has been kept in one color: warm gray with an anthracite gray piping: a subtle piping that gives the cushions a luxurious look.

Spacious round seat

The most important feature of the caravan is the layout, popular with campers, with a fixed double bed and a spacious round seat. The so-called French bed has Dutch dimensions: 210 centimeters long and you can safely call that a plus. The width of 144 cm is also slightly wider than we usually see. The toilet room is located next to the bed and is so long that a shower (optional) can easily be placed here. Just outside the toilet room we see a sink, with sufficient storage space for toiletries.

The kitchen has a light-colored worktop with an integrated stainless steel three-burner stove plus sink. There is ample storage space in the drawers under the worktop, with a pharmacy cabinet and a relatively small refrigerator. The stove is positioned opposite the kitchen with a hanging cupboard for clothes above it.

Installations

In terms of equipment, the Style 440D is nice and complete. Heating, boiler and even underfloor heating are standard. Also standard is the service hatch under the double bed, which gives you easy access to all your holiday items from the awning. The refrigerator could have been a bit larger, but that is the compromise if you choose this layout. But you can easily solve that with a separate cool box in the awning (for drinks). Inside, a Heki-2 roof hatch provides plenty of daylight and the caravan is also equipped with a screen door, Big-Foot corner supports and a fixed drinking water tank under the chassis.

Conclusion LMC Style 440D

The LMC Style 440D has not been 'extended due to success' for nothing. The caravan has the most popular layout for caravans (French bed with round seat) and the 210 centimeter long bed will be welcomed by many. The equipment is in excellent condition: all you need is an awning and a gas bottle and then you can go on holiday with it straight away.
