MAZ Unveils a "House on Wheels"
MAZ and the automobile trailer and body plant "MAZ-Kupava" presented the "Kupava 273140" motorhome, based on the MAZ-365022 chassis.
The vehicle features a Euro-5 diesel engine with 150 hp, a 6-speed manual gearbox, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), and electronic stability control (ESC).
The front and rear wheels have disc brakes. It is noted that a Category "B" driver's license is sufficient to operate the minibus, according to the MAZ press service.
It also features a heated pass-through luggage compartment and mounts for two bicycles. The manufacturer notes that the basic configuration includes a barbecue grill, skewers, and a cauldron.
Temperature in the cabin is maintained by an air conditioning system and two heaters, one of which is independent and provides heating for up to 56 hours with the engine off. This allows the vehicle to be operated in a temperature range from -30 °C to +40 °C.
The cabin of this model features two sleeping areas and two sets of bedding for four people, which can be closed off with curtains. Two lighting modes are provided: day and night.
The vehicle is equipped with a gas hob and a 27-liter gas cylinder, an extractor hood, a sink with a mixer tap, a built-in cabinet with a 92-liter mini-refrigerator, and compartments for kitchen utensils.
The dining area features a table with cup holders and four seats, two of which swivel. There is a TV that displays information from a USB flash drive or a car video player. The sanitary unit includes a sink, toilet, shower, and a clothesline for drying items. The cabin is equipped with three hatches, a water heater (electric-gas boiler), liquid level sensors (for fresh and "gray" water), and a connector for connecting the vehicle to an external power source. Windows with "Day-Night" blinds are installed on the right and left sides.
Monitoring of the motorhome's systems is carried out both with a special device installed in the vehicle and remotely via a dedicated application.
