A trio of the best family motorhomes

Spending holidays with your family can be one of the greatest blessings life can offer – and enjoying that precious time in a great motorhome actually makes it even better. So, if increasing the ‘value’ of your memories is the aim, it’s important to make sure you get just the right model of motorhome when you’re checking out those for sale. You should opt for a motorhome that everyone can feel comfortable in, but which is packed with convenient features too. In this edition of our blog we’ll pick out a trio that we think are particularly worthy of further investigation when you’re on the hunt for the best family motorhome.

See below our pick of three great family holiday vehicles.

New for 2023 is the six-berth Auto Trail Imala, a wonderfully family-oriented motorhome with a couple of great models currently in stock here at Chelston. What’s so good about it?

• There’s a large amount of storage space, including a rear garage, which means you can take all of your necessary bits and pieces on trips, plus plenty of luxuries too.
• To complement its transverse rear double bed, the front lounge can also be transformed into a further sleeping area – and it’s possible to add an over-cab bed (Hi-Line models). The sleeping area at the rear of the vehicle is secluded, offering a level of privacy relatively uncommon on the motorhome market.
• The social area at the front of the vehicle makes the most of the revolving cab seats, so everyone can join in the chatting, whilst various smart features such as a free-standing table and pleated flyscreens ensure maximum comfort all year round.
• The kitchen area is well kitted out, with a four-ring hob (three gas and one electric) plus on the move heating system. The kitchen itself features a full oven and grill and a microwave, 96-litre fridge with freezer compartment, plus plenty of storage for your food and essentials such as pots and pans, making this kitchen a dream for on the road cooking.

Built on a Fiat Ducato Euro 6D chassis with a 140bhp engine and automatic gearbox, there’s an immediate nod to this ever popular motorhome base, but it’s the interior features which truly elevate the 736 G. With the most storage space within the Imala range, it’s easy to take every creature comfort with you on your holidays. This is the perfect Auto-Trail motorhome to ensure slightly larger families have a great time on their holidays!

This coachbuilt beauty which sleeps four is now available to order for delivery in the third quarter of 2023. Based on a Fiat Ducato Euro 6D chassis and featuring a 2.2 (140) engine with automatic gearbox, the 670 DC in the Adria Matrix range offers a smooth driving experience for those tasked with getting from A to B and C! Bear in mind that the chassis is plated at 3650kg so requires the driver to have a C1 entitlement on their licence.

Living

There’s an island bed at the rear and an electric drop down bed over the cab, offering a convenient sleeping arrangement which won’t get in the way during the day or cause any organisational problems when it’s bedtime. The front dinette of the 670 DC is separate from the kitchen area, making for a great social space which everyone can enjoy without feeling like they’re getting in the way of the MasterChef!

Utilities

The incredible range of features on offer in this vehicle include ABS brakes, cab air-conditioning, cruise control, daytime running lights, heated mirrors, an awning, central locking, electric entrance step, an external locker, panoramic rooflight, reversing camera and sensors, an extendable dining table, DAB radio, solar panel and USB sockets.

Okay, this one isn’t a motorhome, strictly speaking. But if you’re looking for a campervan rather than a full-sized motorhome, then the Burstner Eliseo C644 is amongst the best you can get. It’s a four berth with a range of features designed for very cool on the road living.

A rear lounge converts to a generous bed, and there’s an additional drop-down bed above it, too. Four people can sleep in this area in a cleverly designed bunk bed set-up. The lounge area is a great social space – imagine those evenings with the family sat around playing cards or board games, or just chewing the fat over the day’s activities. With a stack of extra features available, this is a compact way to go – but it’s more than able to cope with four people and is a fantastic hub for family living.

Here at Chelston, we stock a vast number of vehicles including Carthago and Swift motorhomes, with highlights such as the Swift Voyager and Carthago C-Tourer, which will completely enhance your out-and-about experience, offering you and your family something great in which to spend holiday time.
