Ace campervans: models, specs and current UK stock

Ace is a US-based manufacturer of motorised leisure vehicles, operating as a specialist brand within the Thor Motor Coach portfolio. The manufacturer is distinguished by its 'Evolutionary Class A' motorhomes, which are engineered to bridge the gap between traditional coach-built luxury and the drivability of smaller units. While the Ace nameplate has historical associations with the UK caravan market via the Swift Group, the current manufacturer focuses exclusively on American-style motorhomes built on robust, heavy-duty chassis.

These vehicles prioritise functional floor plans, domestic-standard amenities, and high-capacity storage solutions. For UK enthusiasts looking for North American engineering, Ace offers a range of integrated coach designs that provide substantial interior volume and durability for long-distance touring. Each model is developed with a focus on ergonomics and versatile living spaces, making them a practical choice for families and full-time travellers seeking a dependable motorised home.

Ace was established in the United States as a strategic brand under the umbrella of Thor Motor Coach, one of the most prominent names in the global recreational vehicle industry. The brand was founded to address a specific niche in the motorised sector: the demand for a vehicle that offers the expansive space of a Class A motorhome with the accessibility and easier handling typically found in Class C models. This objective led to the development of the brand’s signature 'Evolutionary Class A' design philosophy.

Leveraging the extensive manufacturing infrastructure of Thor Motor Coach, Ace has focused on refining chassis integration and modern assembly techniques. For the UK market, it is important to distinguish this US manufacturer from the former British Ace caravan brand, which was a staple of the UK touring industry under the Swift Group until the nameplate was retired. The modern American Ace brand continues to operate as a thriving manufacturer of motorised units. In recent years, the company has prioritised iterative design improvements, focusing on optimising 'liveable' square footage and enhancing storage efficiency based on owner feedback. Today, Ace maintains a solid position in the North American motorised sector, producing vehicles characterised by their functional design and American engineering standards for an international audience.
