Grech RV Continues Focus on High-End Sprinter-Based RVs
Keying on high-end motorhomes might seem the antithesis of sound business practices during a tight economy, but Riverside, Calif.-based Grech RV continues to make a name for itself as a manufacturer of luxury motorhomes built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis.
While Sprinter-based Class B and Class C coaches are already considered the pinnacle of comfort and affluence in the smaller motorhome segments, a recent story in Robb Report notes that “Grech RV’s best-in-class offerings mark the apex of 40 years of luxury coach building experience from the brand that pioneered the genre as we know it.”
Grech RV offers 10 models — all built on either two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive Sprinter chassis — under its Strada, Turismo and Terreno nameplates. Each line includes a special “ion” model, one of which — the company’s flagship Strada-ion — drew noteworthy praise in Robb Report. Built on the Sprinter 3500XD 170-inch extended wheelbase, the Strada-ion includes a solar-charged battery system that is said to be the only UL-listed and tested lithium-ion-based setup currently available on the market.
“The Lithionics batteries provide 1,260 amp-hours (16,128 watt-hours), enough quietly generated energy to power the air conditioning for up to 12 hours. The battery recharges through a 300-watt solar system or, when the Sprinter’s diesel engine is running, via an onboard 280-amp auxiliary alternator,” the report noted.
Built at Grech RV’s 165,000-square-foot production facility, the Strada-ion also features UltraLeather seating surfaces, soft touch walls, birch hardwood cabinets, an insulated subfloor topped with a vinyl woven flooring element, power folding bed, wet bath with a macerator, power entry step, automatically controlled air suspension leveling system, Timberline heating system, LED accent lighting throughout and power-operated blinds.
“My personal name is on every motorhome we build,” Ed Grech, owner of Grech Motors, told Robb Report. “We take pride in knowing our products will meet the highest standards of the most discerning buyers.”
