CamperOnTest Video: Pössl Roadstar X

A van built on the Mercedes 4x4, with a pull-out wall that provides a very long bed

The Pössl Roadstar X is the German manufacturer's top-of-the-range model. It is designed for those seeking a 4x4 mechanical base that allows them to venture off conventional roads. We tested it on mud and dirt tracks: the vehicle's response was consistently convincing. The Pössl Roadstar X is a very distinctive van, decidedly more expensive than other Pössl models, but the price is justified by the technical solutions adopted: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter mechanics, a 190 hp engine, automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, as well as a pull-out wall that is genuinely rare on European-built motorhomes. The slide-out allows for the creation of a particularly long transverse bed, without altering the vehicle's silhouette. So here we have Pössl, the European manufacturer that has perhaps devoted more energy than any other to the camper van segment, offering a 4x4 van quite unlike the usual. With this vehicle, all of Pössl's expertise in camper vans has been transferred onto an off-road machine, designed for those seeking adventure, for those wanting greater freedom and independence. It was created to meet the needs of a particular type of customer. So, here is our detailed analysis of the Pössl RoadStar X.
