Fleurette teams up with Mercedes for 2025
French brand Fleurette is coming into the new 2025 season with its first ever Mercedes-based motorhomes.
The Elister range will initially consist of two low-profile motorhomes built on the popular base vehicle, both coming to 7.29m long and offering four berths.
Each ‘van has a different sleeping arrangement at the rear. The 73LMF has a height-adjustable island bed in the back, while the 73LJF comes with fixed 2m-long single beds.
Both models have drop-down beds over the front lounge. One consideration when choosing the best four berth motorhome will be ensuring everyone has a comfortable sleeping experience. Here, an unusual feature is the window high up on the side, giving whoever sleeps in those beds a source of daylight and a view out.

The new vehicles run on a 2.2-litre, 150bhp engine, with six-speed manual transmission as standard, and Mercedes’ 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox as an option.
Other standard features include alloy wheels, adaptive cruise control and an MBUX music system with a 10.25-inch screen in the cab. For living you get Truma diesel heating for your motorhome heating system, as well as a 150-litre compressor fridge and a 110Ah lithium battery.
The two parallel settees in the front lounge can also be turned into travel seats.
Elsewhere within Fleurette, and its parallel brand Florium, both the L-shaped front lounge and the French bed have been lengthened by 5cm in the Fleurette Migrateur and Florium Baxter 60LG. The Migrateur or Baxter 64LDF gets a new kitchen storage area thanks to a reduced gas bottle locker, and the Migrateur or Baxter 65LJG has had its kitchen enlarged.
The company is also planning to launch its first ever campervan, within the Florium brand. But more details of this are not expected until the end of September.
Fleurette is not the only brand offering new models with the three pointed star this season. Rapido, which owns Fleurette, has launched two new Mercedes-based models.
