Read MMM's head to head motorhome review of the Devon Sundowner and Timberland Discovery XI from January 2007


High top motorcaravans built on small base vehicles can make a lot of sense. They’re narrower and shorter than many other panel van conversions on medium sized (Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Renault Master, etc) bases, making them even more suitable as everyday vehicles.

A high roof may cause the odd argument with height barriers, but the enhanced interior space, better insulation and more storage on offer more than makes up for this inconvenience. Choose a model based on the long wheelbase version of these compact vehicles and you can benefit from increased interior space, and/or ‘grown-up’ facilities more associated with larger motorcaravans.

This head-to-head test sees two of the latest models compared; one offering some big-motorhome appointments, the other maximum interior space and storage.
