CASSIE

Meet Cassie, She's a CI Carioca 656 is based on a Fiat Ducato cab and chassis and driven by a 2.3 litre turbo diesel engine. Power assisted steering makes the 656 easy to drive. She also has a Bluetooth stereo fitted so you can stream your favourite tunes while you’re travelling.

​

This 6 berth motorhome has an ideal layout for families or groups of friends sharing. The two rear bunks are great for children, but quite comfy for single adults too. The lower bunk bed lifts up to create a large storage space for all of your bulky items when you are travelling. The bed in the generous overcab space is one of the most luxurious on the market, you will not feel cramped sleeping here. If you need further sleeping accommodation the dinette table and seats change into an extra double bed.

​

There is a compact but well-equipped galley kitchen with a grill, hob, fridge with freezebox and sink unit. Four people can sit comfortably at the dinette table to enjoy their meals.  Cooking utensils plus cutlery and crockery for six people are included. The washroom is a good size with plenty of room for the shower, toilet and handbasin.

​

The CI Carioca 656 is completely winter weather-proofed with insulation and double glazing. You will be pleased to know that the 656 also has gas powered blown air heating, a water heater and an efficient power management system.  For outdoor fun the 656 is fitted with an external bike rack that can carry up to four bicycles and there's also a fiamma awning.

So if you’re looking for an adventure on the open road with the family, a group of friends or even a couples getaway and want to do it with a bit of comfort then Cassie is your van. If you want to park up somewhere and explore an area by bike (she has a cycle rack for 4 bikes).

​

Cassie includes everything you’ll need to jump in and go (apart from bedding and clothes!)

While she sleeps 6 and has 6 fixed seat belts she’s not too cumbersome and is a joy to drive so great for people who are a bit nervous about driving some of the bigger motorhomes. Another big benefit is she can be driven on your standard driving licence and doesn’t require a C1. She has a nice size lounge area with ample seating and a large roof light that lets in loads of light. But don’t worry when it come’s to getting shut eye, she has blackout blinds, along with fly screens, on the windows and curtains so you can have privacy.

She has lots of cupboards for storage including a good sized wardrobe with space to hang your clothes which is a real bonus if you’re going to a posh do while away.

The kitchen area is great as it’s far enough away from the seating area and you can make a proper meal with a 3 hob gas cooker and grill, fridge/freezer which will run off gas or 240v hook up and even space to prep the food or to dry the dishes after washing up. Not forgetting lots of cupboard space. One benefit we like is there’s a window by the cooker and the kitchen area is next to the door so it’s easy to ventilate if your cooking goes wrong! Although, if you’re on your hols we recommend you don’t cook and eat out instead!

Cassie has a fully kitted out bathroom, including a shower (gets lovely and hot from the onboard water tank), flushing toilet and sink with hot and cold running water. There's even a bathroom cabinet to keep all your toiletries together.

​

While we all love to go away in the Summer, Cassie is great for any time of year adventures too and has gas blown air heating to keep you warm and toasty. She also has a leisure battery on board for lighting etc if you haven't a hook up. She also has a wind out awning/canopy is also a great asset and great for drying off before getting inside when wet or as shelter from the hot sun.
