The main area is for seating, where the owner has installed leather sofas. “We imported the leather from Germany for these sofas,” the owner said, adding that 6 people can sit on them. Furthermore, there is a storage space under these sofas, where you can place your hand carry bags and purses etc.
On the walls, the coaster has automatic curtains, which are remote controlled. Furthermore, the motor home has digitally controlled LED roof lights. “You can switch on/off them with a simple touch on a screen, and you can also control them from your mobile,” the owner told us.

The kitchen area also has a cooking range, and wash basin. “The coaster has a special tank under it for water storage, and we can empty it with a simple button push,” the owner added.
Washroom:
The washroom has a commode seat, wash basin and a bath area. It means, it has all the facility of a home, and you can use them anywhere you want, he added.
Sleeping Arrangement:
