What is the best motorhome to buy?

Whether you’re considering an occasional weekend camper or a top-tier luxury vehicle, our insights will ensure you find the perfect match.

In this segment, choices are plenty. Defined by their length, which typically stays under 6m, these are ideal for couples prioritising space without compromising luxury. Our top recommendation is the Adria Matrix Axess 520 ST, recognised for its spacious front lounge, well-laid-out rear kitchen, and corner washroom.

Other remarkable options:

  • Bürstner’s Lyseo TD Harmony Line 590: Particularly for those taken by Adria’s design.
  • Benimar and Chausson ranges: Both brands offer a perfect blend of compact design, extensive features, and value for money.

Van conversions tailored for couples

An abundant segment where choices range from established manufacturers to smaller bespoke businesses. The Auto-Sleeper Warwick XL stands out, celebrated for its spacious rear lounge and high-end specs.

  • Murvi’s Morello and Vantage’s Sol: Both have earned their place in the Motorhome Hall of Fame.
  • IH’s N-630 RL: Offers a distinctive ‘wow’ factor.
  • Volkswagen’s Grand California and the upcoming Chausson Combi X550: Deserving special mentions for their unique features.
Families of four or more

Bunk beds are a common preference for families, especially those with children. Swift’s Edge 466, accommodating up to six individuals, is a standout choice. This design places bunks at the back, maximising daytime living space.

Prominent family Options:

  • Roller Team Auto-Roller 707 and Zefiro 675: Both offer commendable family layouts.
  • Swift’s Kon-Tiki Sport series: is perfect for larger families but doesn’t feature bunk beds.
For the budget conscious
  • Auto-Trail Expedition 66: Currently at £53,246, it’s affordable and highly sought after.
  • Dealer-specific versions of Autoquests: These might have a higher initial cost but come with superior specifications.
  • Swift’s Edge coachbuilts and van conversions from brands like Benivan and Roller Team: Offering fantastic value for money.
Weekenders and festival aficionados

If versatility is your game, campervans fit the bill. The Volkswagen’s California has been a consistent UK favourite, and we suggest the premium ‘Ocean’ variant this season.

Intriguing campervan options:

  • Mercedes Marco Polo and Ford Nugget: Direct competition to the California, offering unique features.
  • Wellhouse’s Vauxhall Vivaro-based Blighty: An affordable alternative without skimping essentials.
The elite spenders

If the sky’s the limit, delve into luxury brands like Carthago, Concorde, Morelo, and Niesmann + Bischoff. However, our crown jewel is Hymer’s B-Class MasterLine 890, a pristine blend of luxury and performance, priced at a handsome £150,000.

Luxury to set your eyes on:

  • Auto-Trail’s upcoming Grande Frontier models: Exclusively British craftsmanship.
  • A-classes from renowned brands like Adria, Bürstner, Laika, Pilote, and Rapido are all guaranteed to offer unmatched luxury and comfort.
