Full Review

The whole conversion is in keeping with the Auto-Sleeper ethos of high specs with exemplary build quality. It does though, have a correspondingly high price.

Up front in the Keremerton there is a roomy enough lounge that's lifted straight from the Auto-Sleeper Symbol, comprising of an inward-facing settee behind the driver and a forward-facing single travel seat. These combine to make a transverse double bed pretty effortlessly, and at 1.88m by 1.47m is a little larger than most.

Upholstery comes with a choice of five 'Crystal' designs, all of which complement the choices of four exteriors.

There's a galley between the lounge and washroom where you'll find the offside cooking area, with fridge opposite and useful additional work surfaces, along with a three-ring hob and combined oven/grill. There's also a microwave oven with the Premium Pack upgrade.

As for the washroom, there's a space for a seperate shower with it's own extractor fan and bench toilet. Hot air and water are courtesy of a seperate gas/electric heater and 10l boiler from Whale.

Under the bonnet, Auto-Sleepers goes straight for the 130bhp engine, also adding an extra rear leaf spring and AirTop suspension system. Gas for the living quarters is via an underslung 20l tank.

The waste and fresh water tanks are both underslung, but sadly the Whale filler system is rather awkward. Although if you don't want it, the system can be left out altogether at build stage.

The kit is endless. Alloy wheels, awning and LED awning light, daytime running lights, rear mudflaps, barbecue point, and TV socket, athermic glass for the windows, reversing camera. That's all just outside.

Indoors you get fantastic fittings, from a drinks cabinet with crystal glasses, to panelled-in concertina blinds. Some of these add-ons are a part of the Premium Pack.

With all of those add-ons, the price does tip a rather mighty £50,000, but the Kemerton really has found it's niche. You can bank on it retaining a better than average residual values.
