CHAUSSON / EDITION 2020

               In 1980, the first Chausson vehicle,
               known as Odyssée 4000, was presented
               at the Paris Auto Show.
                                                               A passion for innovation                        6
               Odyssée 4000 was a fitted van that
               would give rise to a number of vans,            Low profiles,                              12
               such as Cedra, Madras or Taiga.                 for tailor-made trips
               In 1984, the first Chausson motorhome
               appeared. This was the Acapulco overcab.
               Forty years after the company was
               created, Chausson has become a major
               leisure vehicle manufacturer, but it
               hasn’t forgotten its first love. Vans are
               a solid company value, and this catalog
               dedicates a special section to them.
               Chausson is unanimously recognized as
               an innovative manufacturer. Of course,          Overcabs,                                  24

A PASSION FOR INNOVATION

                                        Perfect adjustment
                                        T-System lets you adjust table height electrically to the perfect position.
                                        T-System is very handy when you lower the roof bed.
                                        The table is also multi-directional, and the top can be partly raised
                                        to make it easier to move around inside.

                                                                                     You’ll find it in all the maxi-lounge low profiles.

                                   The solution for more room

lower the bed to adjust the size of the
hold area according to your needs.
Use a crank to adjust hold volume.
Make it higher to transport bikes,
for example, or lower for bags and
camping equipment.

                                                                                     Premium                                 Premium

Maximum
protection
for people
Because Chausson doesn’t need
to be constrained by a standard in
order to ensure maximum protection
for customers, all our motorhomes
have a 30 mA differential circuit
breaker as a standard feature.
In contrast to a traditional circuit
breaker that protects equipment,
the differential circuit breaker also
protects people. It will automatically
shut off the current if it detects a
loss of current corresponding to
defective insulation.
This device thus allows protecting           For a little nap after lunch or a refreshing night sleep: there’s nothing like
