Who hasn't dreamed of exploring the world from the comfort of their motorhome, while enjoying a large living room during their travel breaks?
For several years now, a large majority of motorhome owners have been looking for a motorhome with a central bed and a maxi living room. Indeed, what could be more convivial than a large living room where you can meet all your friends for an aperitif, and move easily from the living room to the central bed.
The face-to-face lounge is user-friendly
This lounge, which is currently very much in vogue on the motorhome market, is also known as a face-to-face lounge, maxi lounge or lounge, and features a large dining area with 2 very comfortable side benches around a beautiful folding wallet table that completely frees up the space.
This maxi saloon gives a feeling of space and well-being on board. Safety and comfort during motorhome journeys are not forgotten either.
A few years ago, AUTOSTAR, a company always at the cutting edge of innovation and attentive to customer needs, brought face-to-face lounges back into fashion with its practical and innovative patented system: the bench seats convert into seats positioned facing the road.
What are the advantages of face-to-face seating in a motorhome?
- When you step inside a model like the Privilège I730LC, the Passion I730LC or the Prestige I730LC, you immediately feel a sense of space throughout the front of the integral. This is also true of profiles, such as the Passion P730LC, and even 7-meter models like the P693LC. In fact, on the 730 layout, the L-shaped kitchen return is on the bedroom side, so it doesn't clutter up the living area.
- The wallet table makes it easy to move between the living room and kitchen.
- The maxi lounge can also accommodate 6 or more people for aperitifs.
- These models allow you to travel comfortably and safely.
AUTOSTAR offers a highly innovative solution. The passenger seats are concealed under the face-to-face bench seats. And since 2018 - 2019, they can even be removed, freeing up storage space.

Storage space under the face-to-face lounge benches
Another important innovation is that AUTOSTAR's road-facing passenger seats are ISOFIX. You no longer need seat belts to fasten the baby or child car seat. They can be attached directly to the chassis.
AUTOSTAR, a forerunner in the return of this type of layout, is certainly the leading face-to-face living room specialist today, with the most extensive range on the market. The 2019 range comprises 14 face-to-face models, from compact 7-meter profiles to high-end 7.40-meter integral models.
This choice is not surprising, since the best-selling motorhomes in recent years have been models with face-to-face bench seating.
