Current offers from Malibu

Living, interior design & equipment

The Malibu semi-integrated motorhomes offer a comfortable interior that impresses with high-quality workmanship, warm materials and a well thought-out lighting concept. The living area is characterized by a cosy L-shaped seating area with a wide, swing-up side bench seat and a practical, swing-out shoe cabinet in the entrance area. The upholstery is pleasantly firm, ergonomically shaped and, together with the dimmable LED lighting, creates a cozy atmosphere. The open transition from the driver's cabin to the living area and the generous headroom underline the spacious feel of this range.

Kitchen

The kitchen is designed as a functional corner kitchen. It offers sufficient worktop space for cooking, a spacious fridge with separate freezer compartment and a gas hob with several hobs. The large pull-outs with soft-close function offer plenty of space for kitchen utensils and supplies and keep everything tidy and organized. You don't have to sacrifice convenience when you're on the move.

Note: For detailed information, we recommend consulting the official technical data sheets from Malibu or authorized dealers.

Bathroom

Particularly noteworthy is the comfort bathroom, which can be completely separated from the living area thanks to clever door solutions, creating a separate changing room. It has a spacious shower, a swivel toilet area and an easily accessible washbasin with integrated shelves. The materials and surfaces have a modern look and are also easy to clean - ideal for longer trips.

Storage space

The Malibu semi-integrated series is also particularly well thought-out when it comes to storage space. The full-length, heated double floor basement not only offers additional insulation and winter suitability, but also plenty of storage space for bulky luggage. The rear garage is generously dimensioned and accessible via two large doors. Further storage space can be found under the bench seats and beds as well as in the form of spacious closets in the sleeping area. All these elements make the vehicles ideal companions for comfort-oriented travelers with high demands on space and function.
