Florium celebrates Rugby World Cup with special edition model

French brand Florium has brought out a special edition of its new Mayflower 74 LMF model to celebrate France hosting the Rugby World Cup.

The host nation may have been knocked out of the tournament in the quarter final, but the Millennium Edition model is very much still on display at the Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC this week.

The Florium Mayflower 74 LMF includes a 5ft-wide island bed at the rear, a side kitchen with centrally locked drawers, and Truma Combi 6 heating. It has an MTPLM of 3500kg, so anyone can drive it.

Rugby-inspired touches include rugby ball-shaped headboards for the bed, and rugby ball shaped scatter cushions.

Dealer Wandahome South Cave has also thrown in a pack including a larger oven, a satellite antenna and a TV that folds back into its own compartment and can be shut away with a tambour door.

Other models on display at the NEC Show include the Chausson X650, an innovative ‘van with a clever rear dressing room / garage, while the Twin Max 680 SGX can be seen at the Adria stand. The Dethleffs Just Camp T 6762 is also on display, with the Just Camp range a new addition to the UK.

Peter Baber is Reviews Editor of both Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan. He has been reviewing motorhomes for the best part of a decade now. His first caravan reviews date back to the early 1990s when he first worked on Practical Caravan, before he embarked on a 20-year career in business journalism which saw him edit a wide variety of magazines, and launch a few too, including one that won an award. Although he enjoyed that, he always knew he wanted to come back. Peter reports on all the new models that make it to dealer forecourts each season, giving his judgement online and in magazine reviews. He has twice been shortlisted for a Caravan Writers Guild award. When he is not working, apart from going on motorhome trips himself (mostly local to where he lives in West Yorkshire, but also last year right across France) he likes trying to write novels, cooking, throwing the odd pot, and has just taken up tennis.
