Big Carthago Luxury. Clever Lightweight Design.

Who says you need a heavyweight motorhome to enjoy first-class touring? The 2026 Carthago C1 Tourer T 143 KB-LE combines the quality, comfort and sophisticated engineering you'd expect from Carthago with a clever lightweight design aimed at buyers who want premium touring in a more accessible package.

Built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis and featuring the upgraded 170BHP engine, automatic transmission and a superb collection of factory-fitted extras, this is a motorhome designed to make every journey as enjoyable as the destination.

From spontaneous weekends away to longer European adventures, the C1 Tourer brings together contemporary styling, practical living space and the thoughtful details that make a real difference when you're travelling.

Mercedes-Benz Performance with Premium Refinement

The Mercedes-Benz cab provides an impressive driving environment, with the upgraded 170BHP engine and automatic gearbox delivering smooth, relaxed progress on the open road.

The Chassis Plus package adds THERMOTRONIC fully automatic climate control and smart black 16-inch alloy wheels fitted with all-weather tyres. The Mercedes-Benz driver's assistance package brings extra confidence with active lane departure warning, adaptive distance assistance, tyre pressure monitoring and automatic main beam assistance.

The comprehensive Basic Plus package further enhances the cab with the MBUX 10.2-inch multimedia system with navigation and DAB+, a colour instrument display, multifunction steering wheel, electric handbrake, rain sensor and traffic sign assistance.

Heat-insulating front glass, Remis pleated cab blinds and an insect screen for the habitation door add comfort and practicality, whether you're on the move or settling down at your pitch.

A Comfortable, Cleverly Designed Living Space

Step inside and discover the welcoming atmosphere of the Carthago C1 Tourer. The L-shaped lounge creates a comfortable place to relax, enjoy a meal or put your feet up after a day of exploring.

A Midi-Heki skylight above the lounge helps bring natural light into the living area, while the Casablanca 2 styling and fitted living-area carpets create a refined, homely finish.

The generous lounge is ideal for enjoying a leisurely breakfast, planning tomorrow's route or relaxing with a film on the impressive 32-inch Smart LED television. The dedicated designer TV cabinet provides an integrated entertainment solution without compromising the overall feel of the interior.

Rear Single Beds for a Great Night's Sleep

The KB-LE layout features rear lengthways single beds, offering a comfortable sleeping arrangement with easy access and flexibility for couples who prefer their own space.

Thoughtful details include a shelf beneath the single bed and a sleeping-area extension incorporated into the lightweight access steps. There's also an additional TV connection in the bedroom area, allowing you to tailor your entertainment setup.

Whether you're enjoying a short break or touring for several weeks, the dedicated bedroom area helps make this Carthago feel like a proper home from home.

A Kitchen That Makes Touring a Pleasure

The well-equipped kitchen is designed to make life on the road straightforward and enjoyable. A multifunctional sink cover extends the available worktop, giving you extra preparation space when needed.

The factory-fitted gas oven with grill, electric extractor hood and useful storage make it easy to prepare everything from a quick lunch to a more leisurely evening meal.

The kitchen and coffee package includes a Dolce Gusto capsule coffee machine with its connecting and pull-out system, plus a powerful 2,000W inverter converting 12V power to 230V with mains priority switching.

It's the sort of specification that makes those little everyday luxuries possible, even when you're miles from home.

Heating and Comfort Throughout the Seasons

The Truma Combi 6E heating system combines gas heating with an additional electric heating element for greater flexibility when a suitable mains hook-up is available.

The Truma DuoControl CS system adds convenience to the onboard gas installation, while additional 230V and USB sockets provide practical charging and power options around the motorhome.

The result is a well-equipped touring companion designed to keep you comfortable in a variety of conditions, from springtime escapes to crisp autumn weekends.

Practical Storage and Thoughtful Extras

Carthago's approach to touring is about more than appearance. Clever storage and useful equipment help make everyday ownership easier.

This example includes a scooter garage upgrade with needle-felt luggage nets, providing a practical way to organise your touring essentials. Crank-operated rear supports help reduce movement when the vehicle is parked, while central locking for the premium XL habitation door adds everyday convenience.

The preparation kit also includes wiring for a solar system, satellite equipment, an electric extractor hood and the reversing camera. The fitted single-lens reversing camera helps when manoeuvring into tighter spaces.

Further highlights include:

Lightweight 3.5-tonne chassis specification.

Upgraded Mercedes-Benz 170BHP engine and automatic transmission.

Premium driver assistance technology.

32-inch Smart LED television.

2,000W inverter and Dolce Gusto coffee machine.

Gas oven, grill and electric extractor hood.

Truma Combi 6E heating.

Rear single beds and dedicated bedroom TV connection.

Additional 230V and USB sockets.

Fitted carpets to the cab and living area.

The Appeal of Lightweight Carthago Touring

The C1 Tourer is designed for buyers who want to enjoy the refinement of a premium European motorhome without automatically stepping into a heavier vehicle class.

Its 3.5-tonne positioning makes it particularly attractive to drivers looking for a motorhome that may be driven on a standard Category B licence, subject to the vehicle's actual plated maximum authorised mass, licence entitlement and loading.

Important: the supplied build information lists a vehicle weight of 3,599kg. This must be clarified against the final manufacturer's documentation and vehicle plate before advertising the motorhome as a 3,500kg vehicle. Actual payload and the legal maximum authorised mass are separate considerations.

Why Choose the 2026 Carthago C1 Tourer T 143 KB-LE?

This is a compelling choice for buyers who value premium German engineering, a refined Mercedes-Benz driving experience and a thoughtfully equipped interior.

The combination of the automatic 170BHP drivetrain, rear single beds, 32-inch Smart TV, advanced driver assistance, upgraded heating and extensive kitchen equipment makes this a particularly well-specified example of the C1 Tourer.

It's a motorhome designed around the way people really travel: comfortable on the road, welcoming when you arrive and practical enough to make every getaway feel effortless.
