Why the Frankia Platin 8400 is the Ideal Motorhome for Adventurers in New Zealand
When you think about purchasing a motorhome in an increasingly competitive market it requires more research, consideration, and comparison than ever. At Zion Motorhomes we understand that the decision to purchase a motorhome is a major investment and we are focused on providing our customers with the best value, quality, and performance.
The Frankia Platin 8400 is a phenomenal motorhome because it offers more internal space, luxury, and practicality than any other. Previously we have displayed the Frankia Platin Pure, which has sold out at the time of writing, however we are delighted to have the ever-popular Frankia Platin 8400 which has a choice of three layouts. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of the Platin 8400 and why it could be your ideal New Zealand motorhome.
What Makes the Frankia Platin 8400 Stand Out?
The Frankia Platin 8400 belongs to the renowned Frankia Platin lineup, with its luxurious finishes, bespoke designs, and unrivalled performance, which is popular in the demonstrated family of products. So, what makes the Platin 8400 so special?
1. Spacious Living with a Focus on Comfort
Motorhomes are all about creating a comfortable place to live while on the road, and Frankia’s Platin 8400 takes this experience to a heavier-duty range of motorhomes. At 8.61m long the Platin 8400 provides significantly more space than a compact range motorhome, offering a much larger and versatile space to use every inch for your comfort and functionality. The living area is open-plan, containing a fully-equipped kitchen, comfortable seating, and plenty of room for storage so you can have the luxury of a cozy space away from home during your travels.
The rear lounge area, available only in the 8400 Plus layout, is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. When it’s time to sleep, the Platin 8400 provides generous sleeping options, ensuring everyone has a restful night. Whether you choose the single beds, island bed, or lounge layout, comfort and privacy are guaranteed, with soft furnishings and natural light brightening the space.
