Why the Compact Motorhome Stood Out

  • Perfect for Four: With two double beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with shower and toilet, it was a self-contained home on wheels, ideal for families or groups of friends.
  • Built for All Seasons: Central heating, hot water, and insulated windows ensured cosy travels, no matter the weather.
  • Easy to Drive: Its compact size (5.99m) and 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating made it a breeze to navigate, whether on Scotland’s NC500 or Europe’s scenic routes.
  • Off-Grid Ready: A 95-litre fridge, LPG gas bottles, and USB charging points kept you powered and connected, even in the wild.
  • Designed for Exploration: The side sliding door and rear double doors opened up to breathtaking views, turning every stop into a front-row seat to nature’s wonders.

Everything you need for life on the road

After a good night's sleep on one of the comfy double beds, take a hot shower in the combined washroom with loo. Then, grab a yoghurt or some fruit from the fridge or rustle up a traditional Scottish breakfast with eggs and bacon on the 2 ring hob. 4 of you can sit around the dining table and plan your day over breakfast, or enjoy a tasty lunch or dinner. Get some coffee brewing and you're ready to hit the road or drive the NC500. Park up to take in the amazing Scottish scenery, hike one of the trails in the Cairngorms or go Munro bagging.

Stay connected on the road

The Compact Motorhome has an electric hook-up supplied as standard, with 12v USB charging points in the cab, living and sleeping area. The side sliding door has tinted double glazing for privacy and warmth, and the side awning gives you shade or shelter if you're dining al fresco.

There's a 102 litre freshwater tank with a 90 litre waste water tank, and with 2 gas bottles and LED ambient lighting and a leisure battery, you can look forward to staying off grid for a few days. The large, rear double doors open out to give you a new view from your bed every day, and the skylights and windows keep the living and sleeping areas light and bright, with blinds and fly screens for the evening.
