THE MEASURE OF THINGS

ELECTRIC PACKAGE

The standard power pack is based on a 24 V electrical system. The 220 A alternator pumps twice the amount of energy into the 24 V 180 Ah lithium battery via the 30 A charge booster compared to a 12 V system. The sine wave inverter with mains deficiency compensation provides a 230 V peak power of 7000 W with a rated output of 3500 Wh, which is second to none.

TOWEL RADIATOR IN THE BATHROOM

The mineral wall radiator in the colour “Onyx Bianco” provides cosy warmth in the bathroom and a comforting towel. In combination with the underfloor heating, the bathroom becomes a cosy oasis of well-being.

BUS FLAPS

The curtained bus flaps with PU insulation deserve special attention. Both the electronic locks and the gas pressure dampers are located in the protected area of the double floor. The flaps are opened via the Concorde aluminium hinged belt with rubber core. Thanks to this intelligent solution, no water runs through between the side wall and the flaps even when they are open.

SECURED ASCENT

The low gradient and the large tread is due to the further developed monoblock outdoor staircase. Three fixed steps and one step that can be extended when turned out each have a tread length of 280 mm. The attachable stainless steel railing and the illuminated steps provide additional safety when climbing.

HEATING CONTROL

The hybrid heating provides sufficient warmth even on cold days thanks to the control system for individual regulation. Four electric room thermostats and three electric units for floor temperature control the desired setting in the distribution block. Comfort like at home, even on the move – anywhere.

LIVING ROOM FLOOR

The Slideout places special demands on the living area floor, which are met by two elements. Under the top layer of the living area floor is the heavy-duty aluminium sandwich panel Alucobond® (only vehicles with Slideout), which withstands the stresses of the Slideout technology over the long term. The “Amtico” design floor in the living area has a thick wear layer with high abrasion resistance. The individually bonded strips and joints form a particularly durable bond with the Alucobond®. The heavy-duty aluminium floor in “Onyx Bianco”, which is bonded over the entire surface in the bathroom, also fulfils all the necessary properties, especially with regard to slip resistance.

MULTI-BUG CONSOLE

The Centurion has a newly developed, massive construction element with many tasks behind the front mask. On the one hand, the radar is housed vibration-free and decoupled from the front mask; on the other hand, two towing eyes are firmly bolted to it. In addition, the console functions as a crash element and underride protection and serves as a stable support for the front mask.

PORTAL FRAME

Two portal frame constructions are used on the particularly stressed body areas in the Centurion. In the rear, one frame encloses the large opening of the car garage door and thus supports the torsional rigidity of the cabin. The second is used three-dimensionally in the living area and encloses the huge slideout. It not only stiffens the body, but also counteracts the compressive forces of the slideout air chamber seal with its strong frame.

SUBFRAME WITH REAR LOWERING

The subframe has the task of connecting the body to the chassis and is the foundation of your motorhome. Comparable to the foundation walls of a house that anchor it to the plot of land. The heavy-duty rear drop can also absorb high forces in the transverse direction.

SPACE-FRAME

An aluminium space frame in the raised floor of the Centurion provides an extremely stable “basement construction” by connecting the subframe to the living space floor, creating a solid box. This intelligent construction keeps the furniture and wall structure permanently and firmly connected.

HOT WATER HYBRID HEATING

The Centurion is equipped with a gas-powered 5.5 kW gas heater and a 5 kW diesel heater. Both heaters can be operated together or separately. In addition to the high heating power, this also offers safety and independence in extremely cold winters.

ENGINE SOUND INSULATION

The newly developed measures for engine sound insulation consist of several components for engine encapsulation. Silent blocks decouple the platform from the chassis. The engine receives an insulation package to the living area floor and to the side walls, as well as the original Actros noise encapsulation package. Due to a new frame design, particular emphasis was placed on the airborne sound insulation of the engine compartment lid.

SENSOTHERM COCKPIT HEATER

The heating circuit of the Mercedes Actros is integrated into the Centurion heating system. This means that the vehicle’s fan keeps the windscreen free of condensation even when the vehicle is stationary.
