Frankia Final Six

The Platin range gets the Final Six, built on the run out of the final Mercedes Sprinters with the V6 engine. As well as that well-regarded engine, there’s a new interior and loads of kit, over and above the standard Platin offering.

There is one 8.04m-long model, offering twin single beds at the rear above a garage. Ahead of this there’s a washroom with separate shower opposite and a door that closes over the corridor to make an en suite.

The L-shaped kitchen has a large fridge/freezer opposite and the lounge up front eschews the half-dinette layout in favour of twin inwards facing sofas. Above this, a bed drops down. This is the Duo bed that pulls out to make a 2m by 2m sleeping area.

Specification includes a four-110W solar panel system, two 120Ah lithium batteries, a 270-litre fresh water tank, a hidden 32in TV and Alde hot water heating system, plus more.

Frankia Titan Next

The Titan Next is just a single special edition model. Being a Titan, it’s built on a Fiat Al-Ko chassis (there’s no Mercedes Platin equivalent), and the only layout available is the I 790 GD, which means it’s 7.9 metres long (rounded up a bit) and has a twin bed floorplan.

It’s the first model in the company’s range to get the new Thetford Indus toilet system, which has only been seen in Bürstner’s latest Elegance A-class flagship.

Frankia says that the Indus system will give you up to seven days of independence from site/emptying facilities. This is mated to automated and efficient use of water and additives, real-time information on remaining capacity and emptying points, as well as easier and less frequent discharging. The Indus toilet adds its own chemicals automatically, with the vehicle carrying cartridges designed to last, on average, 28 days.

Then, further emphasising this motorhome’s off-grid potential, the Next comes with a 250-litre inboard fresh water tank, two 120Ah lithium batteries, three roof-mounted 110W solar panels and an inverter.

But this isn’t just a Titan with a new loo. It shows off a new exterior look, too, with more white, less black, but still a recognisably Frankia appearance. Inside, there’s also a change, with the introduction of Visby White furniture in place of the previous oak option.

But despite all these cosmetic revisions, this is still a Frankia doing what Frankia motorhomes do best, so it has an 11-year water ingress warranty, an Alde central heating system, Thermo Guard Plus side walls, a heat exchanger and underfloor heating, plus of course the 35cm-deep heated double floor. There’s a stepless floor through the interior, plus interior headroom of over 2m, too.

Then, there are the extra features of this special model, including LED headlights, an additional charger, an Alphatronics 32in flatscreen TV with Dolby surround sound speaker system and Teleco satellite dish, and a kitchen with ‘coffee corner’.

Prices start from £157,990 for the Titan Next and around £180,000 for the Platin Final Six.
