Our pick of the best motorhomes 2026

We have put together our list of the best new motorhomes of the 2026 season in a useful guide, which takes a closer look at some of the latest models that have really impressed us. 

There's everything here from motorhomes designed for a family to compact models that are barely bigger than a campervan.

The innovative and eye-catching Motorhome of the Year from Swift is included in this list, of course, and there are stylish luxury A-class models, too.

To read more about the best new motorhomes this year, turn to the Motorhome Awards 2026.

The Best Motorhome and Drop-Down Bed 2026

Swift Trekker 540

£78,590

Swift created something special when it launched its Trekker campervan a year ago, a campervan that was voted the Coolest Campervan of 2025.

Clearly recognising that it had found a winning formula, the company has expanded the Trekker brand into low-profile motorhomes for 2026. Three models are available, with the Trekker 540 taking the Out & About Live Motorhome of the Year title for 2026.

These new models have the same Trail-spec Ford cab and all-grey bodywork as their little brothers, while interior layouts are borrowed from the successful Voyager line-up. With black alloy wheels and bold grey and yellow graphics, the Trekker will stand out from the crowd wherever you travel.

This seven-metre motorhome has one of the most popular layouts for couples. There’s a spacious front lounge with side settees and the electric drop-down bed above, a central kitchen and a vast end washroom with a massive wardrobe over the garage.

The interior, like the exterior, takes its aesthetic cues from the Trekker campervans, so you feel as if you’re on board a completely different vehicle to a Voyager.

The décor continues the vehicle’s adventurous vibe and the spec reflects that, too, with a 120W solar panel and an external shower, while blown-air heating comes from Truma’s brand-new CombiNeo system for continuous hot water and an ultra-fast heat-up.

OAL Motorhome Awards 2026

Itineo Cozi PS740

£59,700

Itineo is an entry-level brand and one that has a particular speciality in family-friendly layouts. Its PS740 has rear transverse bunk beds (2.07m long), each with a light and an opening window.

It isn’t just the beds that cater for your offspring as they get their own mini-lounge/dinette adjacent to the bunks.

Teenagers can escape their annoying elders, while younger ones have their own table for games or drawing.

If everyone wants to be together, then the front lounge has plenty of room for four or five (the fifth seatbelt – on a rear-facing seat – is an option). There are long L-shaped and straight settees and both cab chairs rotate to join the living area.

At night, mum and dad won’t have to complete any complicated cushion jigsaws – there’s an electric drop-down double that leaves the entrance door unobstructed.

With little ones, it’s vital to have space to remove the mud, too, so the PS740 has a proper separate shower.

That’s opposite the toilet room and its door swings around to make the back of the motorhome into a changing area, complete with a tall wardrobe.

Of course, you’ll also need to be able to feed the family and the 145-litre two-door fridge/freezer is a big plus.

Best Fixed Single Bed 2026

Pilote Atlas A690GJ

£73,700

The stylish Atlas mixes a bold, angular exterior and geometric graphics with a metallic grey Trail-spec Ford Transit cab. It comes as standard with the 165hp engine and eight-speed automatic transmission, as well as a wide rear track, so it will drive as well as it looks.

Front fog lamps, automatic lights and wipers, an electric parking brake and adaptive cruise control are all included, too. For added driver appeal and ease of getting off the beaten track, this is not a large motorhome – less than 7m long and only 2.20m wide.

Less bulk also means that it can be driven on a car licence, with the 3.5-tonne chassis allowing a sensible payload of 575kg.

You can fit your bikes easily into the garage, thanks to 1.20m headroom. Inside, the A690GJ has an open-plan face-to-face seating area with a fold-in-half table.

It’s a comfortable place to relax, with the possibility of converting sofas into travel seats when required. You can also specify an optional drop-down double bed above.

In the kitchen, the optional oven/grill is mounted under the hob for easy access and the fridge has a 142-litre capacity. Opposite, the washroom makes good use of space with its swing-wall and storage is excellent.

There’s more good news in the bedroom, where the designers have avoided the usual head-bashing overhead cupboards over the single beds.

Bürstner B66 594 TD

£76,995 

With proven designs and great-value price tags, Bürstner’s B66 range offers both campervans and motorhomes but it’s the amazing value for money that stands out across all of the models.

This is the baby of the B66 motorhome range, which makes it ideal for first-timers to the hobby, but step inside and you might struggle to believe that you’re in a sub-six-metre model.

It’s the same high-spec package here as with the larger layouts, while the front lounge (with side settees, swivel cab seats and overcab sunroof) and the huge end washroom belie the size of this motorhome.

The latter includes a good-sized separate shower and the wardrobe.

Even more impressive is the electric drop-down bed over the lounge – its mattress can be extended into the cab for lengthways sleeping (and thus easier access without disturbing your partner) in a king-sized bed.

There are no options to consider (just three upholstery colours) as everything is included in the £76,995 price tag – automatic transmission, Pioneer multimedia unit with reversing camera, 4m roll-out awning, Triplex oven/grill, solar panel, removable carpets and more.

Rimor Kilig 79 Plus

£59,995

Italian manufacturers often cater for the value end of the market as well as including multi-berth bunk bed motorhomes into entry-level ranges.

That’s especially true of this new Rimor low-profile model which, incredibly, packs seven berths (and even seven travel seats) into just under seven metres of overall length!

More realistically seen as a four or five-berth (watch that you don’t exceed the standard 3,500kg maximum gross weight), this £59,995 motorhome has a true family floorplan, with twin pullman dinettes offering seating for six at dinner time.

Kids will love the long bunk beds across the rear, while the main parental berth is a drop-down double in the lounge area.

The super-spacious washroom even includes a seat for washing down your little ones. It’s based on a Ford Transit cab with a 130hp engine (an automatic gearbox is a £3,000 option).

Best Compact Motorhome 2026

Giottiline Compact CX60

£59,800

Here’s a six-metre low-profile motorhome with a half-dinette lounge and a transverse fixed double bed over a garage.

The key feature, though, is the very tempting price, which includes the Privilege Pack (colour-coded front bumper with fog lamps, 9in touchscreen radio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an HD rear camera, a wide entrance door with window and central locking, a Maxi Skyview rooflight, matching cab seat covers and LED tail lights).

The Fiat’s cab spec includes the eight-speed automatic gearbox, 16in alloy wheels and start/stop.

Standard habitation features also go beyond the bare essentials, with a heated waste water tank, flush-fitting habitation windows, Isofix, removable carpets and pleated cab blinds. As well as the low price, the Giottiline lives up to its Compact name, at only 5.99m long and a slim 2.15m wide.

Being compact also helps with the payload, which is a generous 783kg, so you can make good use of the rear garage.

Above that hold, the transverse double bed is provided with a pair of neat, folding steps that are so much better than a ladder, while the position of bedroom cupboards only on the rear wall means you can sit up against the offside.

The galley has an optional oven and a 140-litre compressor fridge and there’s good drawer-based storage. Likewise, the washroom makes good use of space with its swing-wall shower arrangement.

Rimor Sailer 56 Plus

£64,995

European motorhomes’ kitchens are often castigated for their size and spec but that’s never going to happen with Rimor’s new Sailer 56 Plus. This is one of the biggest galleys you’ll ever see in a motorhome and is even more remarkable for the fact that it’s in a 7m motorhome.

It has a vast amount of worktop, a huge fridge/freezer, oven/grill, and a coffee percolator, too! Since its NEC debut, the importer (M and C Ltd in Hull) has even added a microwave and upgraded the hob to a gas/induction unit.

With a roomy face-to-face lounge, a washroom with a large separate shower and an electric drop-down double bed that comes down to sofa height, this is no one-trick pony.

And you get all this for £64,995 – a remarkable price considering the fully equipped spec.

The base vehicle is a 130hp Ford Transit with 12in touchscreen, alloy wheels and a Category 1 alarm. Other features include a solar panel, 19in smart TV, cab blinds and a 100Ah lithium battery. About the only thing not included is an awning.

Best Fixed Double Bed 2026

Rapido 850F

£85,900

If you’re looking for an island bed motorhome, most are around 7.5m long. This new Rapido is half a metre shorter and yet it feels more spacious, and has a better bedroom, than many larger models.

Of course, being an A-class helps. Then there’s the fact that you enter into the lounge, where there’s plenty of floor space and a comfortable L-shaped sofa facing you.

For a vehicle of this length, it’s a surprisingly open-plan interior. It’s the end bedroom with 1.90m by 1.48m island bed, though, that’s key to the 850F’s appeal.

Slide the mattress back into its chaise longue position and a generously sized bedroom greets you with space to recline comfortably with a cuppa and your iPad.

Then, when it’s lights out and the hypoallergenic Bultex mattress is pulled out flat, there’s still room to get around the end of the bed and a sliding door can make the bedroom completely private.

As part of the redesigned 8F Series range, not only does the 850F have a new look to the furniture but it has a facelifted exterior, too, that brings the practical advantage of much improved visibility for the driver.

This isn’t an A-class that costs as much as a detached house, either. Fully specified (with the comprehensive Select Pack) at under £90k, it competes with high-end low-profiles.

Malibu I 441 KB

£93,260

Malibu (Carthago’s sub-brand) has a new look for its motorhomes in 2026 but it’s the use of space inside a modestly sized A-class that makes the I 441 KB-LE such an appealing vehicle for couples that want a bit of luxury.

At only 6.57m long, this is one of the smallest A-class motorhomes on the market but it doesn’t feel like that when you enter through the offside habitation door.

Partly that’s down to the full-width cab but also because you can delete the drop-down cab bed for a much more spacious lounge with greater headroom (as well as some extra storage).

You’ll have to ignore the £93k list price, sadly, because (as with a lot of German premium brands) there are many packs and options to consider.

Reckon on spending closer to £115k, but don’t dwell too much on the price as this Malibu shows that bigger isn’t necessarily better.

It still has a deep double floor and a large garage, like much pricier Carthagos, and here it’s possible to stay on a 3,500kg chassis and still have just enough payload.

Long single beds and a low-set oven in the stylish kitchen complete a very appealing package.

Bailey Autograph 81-5

£93,999

The more people you have on board, the more space you need and this 8.13m-long, 4,500kg Bailey has room to for its five occupants to throw a party.

In fact, few motorhomes short of an American RV feel as spacious as this, the Autograph also benefiting from an extra-wide body.

The layout here offers two separate lounges, each with an electric drop-down bed above.

The rear bed lowers down to seat height, while the end U-shaped lounge is really quite sybaritic. Bailey has pulled out all the stops to make the new Series 4 version the best Autograph yet.

With a garage for all the kit a family will need, plus Alde heating for off-season comfort, this £93,999 motorhome is for families that don’t want to compromise. It’s based on a Peugeot Boxer with Al-Ko lowline chassis and 180hp motor linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

And, in typical Bailey style, you don’t need to worry about budgeting for extras as the awning, twin 95Ah leisure batteries, 200W solar panel, Thule awning and 10in touchscreen in the cab are all standard features.

Best Luxury Motorhome 2026

Morelo Home 78 L

£229,225

Morelo’s motorhome range starts with the Home, at a price point where most rivals are fielding their most expensive offerings. If you can consider something like this, welcome to the prestigious world of the liner motorhome… 

The Home makes a return to the range this year as the only sub-eight-metre motorhome in the portfolio.

It has been completely redesigned both inside and out and benefits from similar construction principles to the larger Morelos, with a 366mm-deep heated double floor. 

The awning is integrated into the roof and you can now specify HGV-style cameras in place of external mirrors.

Taller than before for greater interior headroom, this 7.81m motorhome is built on an Iveco Daily chassis with 207hp motor, eight-speed automatic transmission and a 5,990kg maximum gross weight.

Its huge payload allows for unusually generous tank capacities – 240 litres fresh water, 200 litres grey waste and a 200-litre black tank.

Towing capacity is up to 3,500kg. Easily recognised as a Morelo on the outside, the new Home looks a lot more contemporary than its predecessor on the inside. It is also a gas-free motorhome that uses high-quality domestic appliances.

The galley has mineral worktops and an induction hob, while the Kitchen Package adds a Bosch electric oven and a Nespresso coffee machine. The 132-litre fridge is another household item. 

The washroom comes with a marine-type ceramic-bowl toilet.
