Supplied by dealer Thompson Commercials Hull, the East Yorkshire-based operator’s latest addition is a left-hand drive with 13-litre engine with common rail injection system, Optidriver automated 12-speed gearbox and the Fuel Eco pack.
The T High flat floor with Kelsa lightbars top and bottom, alloys and aluminium fuel tanks is also set to be a regular feature on the 2017 truck show circuit.
Featuring the Comfort Live Pack, with leather seats, leather trim steering wheel, 800mm extending lower bunk, relax swivel passenger seat, interior lighting (basic, night and indirect), refrigerator and TV pre-installation, the vehicle is ideally equipped for a comfortable life on board.
“The cab is really spacious, I love the flat floor – I can get up and walk straight through and, with a headroom of over 2m, I can even jump in it,” confirms Dulson.
“Driving a left-hooker did feel weird at first, but there’s such good visibility from the cab and mirrors, it’s just normal now,” he adds.
The truck also has full air suspension on the front and rear for improved driving dynamics and adjustable ride height, along with lower profile 315/60/R 22.5 Conti EcoPlus HS3 tyres.
“The UK’s holiday parks are enjoying record years, so business is good for us, too,” says Gary Hanson, director.
“Our truck fleet has grown steadily since we started in 2010... today we have 31, a mix of rigids and tractor units, all Renault right down to the Renault Trafic escort vehicle.The T High is another addition to our fleet, it’s our flagship truck and it’s a real showstopper.”
As with Hanson’s other Renault vehicles, the latest Range T is supplied with an R&M contract and is expected to clock up 106,000 miles each year.
