The CI Carioca 656 is a Fiat based family coachbuilt motorhome, from one of Italy's largest producers. Usually on 2.8 turbo-diesel engine or 2.3JTD common rail from 2004 onwards. A versatile layout, having 2 bunks at the back, the bottom one folding up to create height in the rear garage, which has an access door on both sides. The washroom includes an enclosed shower with solid screen. Opposite is the kitchen, which has a good amount of worktop space. There is a forward dinette area, comprising two bench seats accross a table and overcab bed at the front. Locker space and wardrobe capacity are adequate for a family holiday. Unlike most European competitors, the habitation area entrance door is on the near ('English') side. This is a compact 6 berth layout offered by a number of European manufacturers, CI being one of the most affordable.

Points to note:
Only 4 seatbelts fitted on viewed model. Habitation area heater close to bottom bunk. No oven. TV cabinet position very high for viewing. Low fixed bulkhead to cab. Water ingress checks essential.
