Why A Slimline Motorhome May Be Right For You
Auto-Trail has a vast stock of vehicles on offer, with four ranges of campervans and six ranges of motorhomes each with several models, so finding the right choice for you may be daunting.
Narrow-bodied motorhomes like those in the new Auto-Trail Excel range are becoming increasingly popular among adventurers who want something a bit more spacious than a campervan but aren’t yet ready for the size of conventional motorhomes.
This new range of slimline coach built motorhomes includes four different models – the 620G, 675B, 690L and 690T – all of which are just 2.24 meters wide and boast more storage and exceptional payloads. There’s a choice of five distinctive colours for the cab, allowing you to personalise your motorhome journey. Built on a Ford Transit chassis, each model boasts a low profile and a widened rear track, ensuring a seamless handling experience on winding country roads.
After spending some time in an Excel model, an industry expert remarked that the Excel range is most appealing to “campervan owners just looking for a bit more space” and is a “great motorhome to drive” due to its widened rear track and low profile.
So, what about each individual model?
Excel 620G
The Excel 620G is the smallest motorhome in the Excel range, at just 6.20 meters long – shorter than some campervans! It strikes the perfect balance between driving convenience and comfortable living, with the rear boasting a fixed transverse bed above a generous garage that provides ample storage for all your adventure gear. At the front, a versatile half-dinette can be easily converted into a single bed if needed.
Excel 675B
The Excel 675B is a perfect choice for those who enjoy socialising out on the road, with a spacious front dinette that easily converts into a large double bed when it’s time to get some rest, but provides a fantastic social seating area in the day.
Excel 690T
The Excel 690T is one of the longest models in the range at 6.90m and features the extremely popular design of raised twin beds at the rear which can be converted to a large transverse double bed if required. At the front, the half-dinette converts into the Excel’s signature single bed.
Excel 690L
The Excel 690L is also 6.90m in length and boasts a spacious rear U-shaped lounge, one of the most popular motorhome lounge layouts due to its openness and spacious feel. The lounge converts to either two single beds or one large double bed, and – again – the half-dinette can also covert into a single bed if required.
