Our Tischer Trail 200
Posted: April 25th, 2016, 10:08 am
We picked up our new to us Tischer Trail 200 last week. This is a 2006 model extremely well looked after by it previous fastidious owner.
Horrible journey, we planned to drive from Norfolk to Somerset to collect, stay with relatives overnight at Bath, then amble back the next day. A change of plan at home meant that we had to do the 600-plus mile round trip in one hit. 19 hours all together! not helped by three major accidents with full motorway closures on the return leg.
So far quite impressed with this simple Tischer.
This is a huge step down in terms of luxury and facilities, but is a compromise to give us a much needed lower air draught and very much smaller overall size and weight.
The trade off is well worth it for us as we travel a lot of less well surfaced roads in Southern Europe.
Loaded onto our Chevy LUV – fits nicely and low weight (yet to put on weighbridge) of under 600kg – Hardly noticed it was there on the 300 plus mile journey home. I did a fill to brim test - £46 of diesel to get to Somerset (Refilled about five miles from sellers house), £49 to get back home to Norfolk, so the Tischer is clearly quite aerodynamic and the weight doesn’t bother the truck at all.
Short rear overhand and can leave tailgate in place. Nice addition of side roll out awning
Interior shot from rear door. Similar layout to the SKarosser, but of course no bathroom in the 200. Seats are much bigger and a U-shaped seating around multi positional table. Table gets in the way for access to the bed though so best taken off at night.
View from the bed. Nice headroom up here, but not at light and bright. One wondow and no Heiki rooflight.
View of U shaped seating – table removed, and storage for a portapotti. Battery charging system to right.
Decent sized 3 way fridge
Simple kitchen area. 2 burner hob and sink with cold water only. Waste is stored in 510 litre container below sink or can be piped to external container. Small lift up flap to extend worktop – Only enough for coffee cups and a kettle without it..
Overhead lockers on both sides. Storage is adequate and typical of a demountable. Small hanging wardrobe to rear.
Camper demounts quite easily. A little more fuss than the Skarossr as all the legs are removed for travel. Fronts store in metal hangers to each side, rears need to be stored elsewhere. I may be able to wrap them and store them in the buck sides ( the access hatches for the turnbuckles are really big, over 600mm wide, but for now they are in the back of the truck on the floor.
Tischer spec from iterature
Truma Heating – blown air, single outlet.
I’ll add more later when I take some pictures of my own.
