• Island bed stays made, always ready: No folding, flipping, or rearranging needed — it’s just there when you want it, which makes a big difference on longer tours.
•  Four belts means it’s more usable for day trips: Whether it’s extra passengers, grandkids, or just ferrying friends, having four proper belts gives it flexibility.
• Good balance of spec without being overdone: You’ve got the reversing camera, solar panel, awning, and a proper cab A/C setup. Enough to use straight away, not so much that it’s overwhelming.

• Only three berths could limit interest: It feels like it should sleep four, but the layout caps you at three — worth pointing out for families.
•  A-class cab isn’t for everyone: Some buyers prefer the feel and familiarity of a standard cab — this might take a bit of explaining for first-timers.

This version of the Explorateur offers a strong layout for couples who want space and fixed-bed comfort, but without going full 8m or six-wheeler. The A-class front gives it presence, but the layout stays familiar and easy to live with. It’s the kind of van that’ll appeal to second-time buyers — people who’ve done a few trips and know what they want from a proper tourer.
