Joa By Pilote Reveal 2027 Motorhome Ranges
News
The brand formerly known as Joa Camp is now Joa by Pilote, harnessing the reputation and experience of the French manufacturer having over 65 years in business.
In fact, Pilote is keen to stress that Joa motorhomes are built in the company’s main factory alongside those of the parent marque, not at a lesser site as with some rivals.

Expanding the entry-level range…
Much of the body construction and technology of the Joa motorhomes, along with R&D and staffing, is thus shared with Pilote vehicles.
With a new name, a new logo, new graphics, new furniture and new upholstery, the Joa by Pilote models mark a completely fresh start. We saw the very first examples – both campervans and motorhomes – at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show at the NEC in February.
The Joa range already included 7.39m models with either an island bed (75Q) or twin beds (75T). Each of these has the kitchen on the offside, aft of the habitation door, with the ablutions in one room opposite, where a swing-wall makes practical use of the space.
The newcomers are the 75QB (island bed) and 75TB (single beds). Fractionally longer, at 7.45m, these vehicles also have an L-shaped seating area with a single seat on the offside (plus, of course, swivel cab seats). The lounge is, however, a tad smaller than the existing versions, although a fifth travel seat is optional.

Where the new motorhomes differ is in having separate toilet and shower areas on either side of the vehicle. The separate shower is on the nearside, while the loo area is located on the offside. The toilet door can be used to separate the en suite from the lounge/kitchen up front, while a curtain gives privacy to the bedroom.
The 75QB and 75TB are based on a 3,500kg (3,650kg optional) Fiat Ducato with 140hp engine and automatic transmission – both models are priced at £68,400. Standard specification includes Truma Combi D4 diesel heating, a 100W solar panel, roll-out awning, oven and grill, and 133-litre fridge with automatic energy selection. An electric drop-down bed can be added for £1,760, while the optional Driving Pack (£1,150) adds automatic lights and wipers, adaptive cruise control and an electric parking brake.
