Setting A New Standard Adventures in Luxury

In collaboration with Grech RV, we embarked on a road trip across California to test out the brand’s largest and most luxurious o ering, the Strada-ion. It’s a Class B motorhome based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 XD 170’ Extended High Roof. It’s powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine developing 188 horsepower and 325 foot-pounds of torque. This configuration sends all of its power to its rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission.

While there are plenty of luxury-oriented Class B motorhomes, the Grech RV Strada-ion stands out in three key areas. The first is, as alluded to in its name, the onboard Lithium-ion battery system. It replaces the Cummins Onan propane generator found in the stan- dard Strada model and powers the RV in a more environmentally friendly and quiet way.

The second is in the motorhome’s rear suspension, as Grech RV takes the standard Sprinter’s leaf spring configuration and adds air suspension as standard on all Strada models. It features a self-leveling design that does an excellent job of balancing stability and ride comfort.

Lastly, the Strada-ion stands out with its restrained aesthetic. Starting at $244,900, this motorhome isn’t unnecessarily flashy. It features stainless steel paneling along its sides, a molded fiberglass body kit, and subtle Grech RV branding. It’s the ideal camper van for the type of person that wants to have a luxurious camping experience www.grechrv.com while still flying under the radar.

Jumping behind the wheel of the Strada-ion seemed daunting at first. It’s 116-in high, 80-in wide, and 290-in long. However, on the road, it shrinks around you, despite being the largest motorhome Grech RV sells. Its benefits, such as its light steering, upright seating position, and excellent visibility, are advantages of its Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Base.

Inside, the Strada-ion proved plenty spacious, with seating for up to nine and sleeping accommodations for two in this Lounge Plan. Its rear sofa and ottomans convert into very comfortable memory foam mattresses. Running appliances such as the onboard fridge and microwave o their battery pack proved very convenient. However, the star of the show is its pair of touch screens that control almost all of the RV’s systems easily.
