Latching on to Keravan Kerala project, Pinnacle unveils Motorhome

Giving a further boost to Kerala’s Caravan Tourism policy, a leading manufacturer of automotive interiors and designer of specialty vehicles has rolled out a customized Motorhome which has all the features for a comfortable and luxurious stay.

Tourism Minister Mr P. A. Mohamed Riyas has launched the new recreational vehicle of Madhya Pradesh-based Pinnacle Industries at a function in Kozhikode.

Mr. Riyas said Caravan Tourism is a new experience that will put Kerala’s pandemic-battered tourism on the growth trajectory, and the response from the stakeholders to the initiative has been encouraging. Tourist Caravans are also a safe mode of travel for holidaying families in a world where safety is the most important aspect.

He said the Tourism Department has ambitious plans to tap the unexplored destinations in the state. These will present to the world the entire potential of Kerala to attract visitors to any part of the state. For example, the Malabar region is considered one of the world’s 10 most unexplored destinations, which will be able to lure domestic as well as foreign visitors if properly projected.

The government has planned to identify and develop new destinations all around the state with the help of local self government institutions, and necessary funds will be provided for the scheme, Mr Riyas added.

Built on Force Traveler model T2 4020, the Pinnacle Motorhome has less turning radius as compared to other caravans, which will allow an enhanced driving experience. 

The Motorhome has living and sleeping areas that can accommodate 9 seats which can be converted into 2 beds offering more comfort during the travel as well as staying in the vehicle.

The vehicle has a lounge at the rear which can be converted into a queen-sized bed, along with a convertible bed at the front for the accommodation.

With a provision for a kitchen, toilet, direct and indirect LED lights & mood lighting, hot & cold water, elegant control touch panel circuits, mini-fridge, LED TV, external power supply and backup, music system, and three fire extinguishers, the Motorhome boasts of all luxury, functional, entertainment and safety utilities.

Prof. Beena Philip, Mayor, Kozhikode Municipal Corporation and Mr V. R. Krishna Teja, Director of Tourism, Govt. of Kerala, were among those present at the function.

Mr Sachin Deshmukh, Executive Director of Pinnacle Industries, said the vehicle is designed by keeping in mind the comfort and convenience of end-users while also maintaining design and functional aesthetics.
