The la strada AVANTI F is perfect for the couples as well as for the families. The German manufacturer specialized in the construction of compact vehicles mounts a large double bed in the rear of the van and a tow away bed above the front seating group. At nighttimes, four persons can comfortably sleep in the AVANTI F or just two who wish to relax separately. During the day, the family can either eat or play in the living space made of a comfortable seating bench and the two cabin seats turned around towards the table. Bathroom, kitchen, wardrobe, heating double floor and cupboards complete the AVANTI F.


The base vehicle of the AVANTI F is the new FIAT Ducato. The AVANTI customers will take advantage of the numerous assistant systems of the facelift: the standard electronic stability programme (ESP) is now upgraded by the Rollover Mitigation System, the Hill-Holder, the Anti Slip Regulation (ASR) as well as the electronic Brake Assistance (EBA). Optionally the AVANTI F can be ordered with the Lane Departure Warning and the traffic sign Identification system. Within the technical package, the van features the Traction + system, a self-locking differential including the Hill Descent Control. On its 6,36m length and 2,05m width the vehicle runs continuously through the traffic. Powerful Turbo diesel engines ranging from 140 to 180 horse power can be chosen. While travelling, the kids are securely fastened on the seating bench with two 3-point safety belts.
Also the beds are extremely comfortable in the AVANTI F. The FROLI support system and the special foam of the mattresses in both double beds combined with their surface of 197 x 142 cm in the rear and 200 x 130 cm in the front, provide an enjoyable sleep.


Plenty of storage space
The garage is located under the rear bed. This storage can be reached through a trap door from the inside of the van as well as via the two rear van doors. In the garage the user will find the heating system, the leisure battery, the on-board electric system, two gas bottles and still plenty of room for the personal belongings. The highlight of the garage though, certainly is the fact that the rear part of the bed can be lifted up to the ceiling of the vehicle: this enlarges the storage place and allows two bicycles or other bulky goods to be loaded inside.

Comfortable seating group for four

Also the seating group, located in the front of the vehicle, is very comfortable. Once the driver seats are turned towards the living space, a generous dinette invites four passengers to sit around the table.
The original FIAT pilot seats are covered with the matching fabric of the superstructure and the sides get reinforced for a better ergonomic of the seats. Both armrests are covered as well for the convenience of the driver and co-driver. The seating bench in the living area features two 3-point safety seat belts and the bearing surface can be adjusted into four different positions: the rear position while driving and eating, the front positions while relaxing. The adjustable headrests as well as the convex shape of the backrest both enable a perfect seating in any position. And in order to avoid annoying mosquitoes disturbing lunch time, the new sliding fly screen door of the AVANTI F only lets fresh air come in. The fly screen is easy to use and flushes perfectly with the side of the van. Furthermore disturbing smells while cooking simply escape through the open sliding door.


Heatable double floor
A rather uncommon feature in a van conversion certainly is the heatable double floor. Within the living area, the double floor can furthermore be used as storage for tools and other items. Different trap doors throughout the floor ease the access. When the sliding door is open, a drawer in the rear lower part of the kitchen bloc can be slid out and used as storage and as an outside table at the same time. The warm air is conducted through the double floor and ensures warm feet in the winter time. For the clothes a wardrobe is mounted next to the refrigerator and several upper cupboards are placed around the rear bed.


Comfortable kitchen
The kitchen bloc is located in the central part of the AVANTI F. The sunk-in 2-hob cooking device features a handy piezo ignition and the folding wooden board on the left side of the kitchen furniture enlarges the working surface. The refrigerator with AES function and a capacity of 80l is positioned right next to the cooking and washbasin device in clever height. Several large drawers under the hob offer storage room for pots and pans, while smaller ones on the opposite side are foreseen for other utensils and personal belongings.

Two swinging doors on the opposite side of the kitchen separate the bathroom from the aisle. This place saving solution offers more space inside the bathroom as well as when passing from one side of the interior to the other.

The la strada AVANTI F combines the amenities of a family mobile together with the flexibility of a van conversion. It seems impossible to put more comfort for four persons into one van!
