What makes the Chausson X-series unique?
The Chausson X-series is a compact coachbuilt campervan that measures 5.99 metres in length and 2.1 metres in width. It is designed to bridge the gap between a traditional panel van and a motorhome, offering a 3500kg MTPLM and a 600kg payload. Key features include an electric drop-down bed, a Smart Lounge, and Grade 3 insulation for year-round use.
- Compact 2.1 metre width designed for easier navigation of narrow lanes.
- Electric drop-down bed system that maximises daytime living space.
- Smart Lounge layout featuring face-to-face seating for socialising.
- Grade 3 insulation rating for thermal performance in various seasons.
- Substantial 600kg payload capacity within a 3500kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: The electric bed must be lowered to sleep, which restricts access to the lounge area. External storage lockers are smaller than those found on larger coachbuilt motorhomes. The price point is higher than many entry-level van conversions.
Is the Chausson X-series right for you?
Who it suits

Reasons to consider it

Compare the Chausson X-series with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chausson X-series | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £65,000 to £88,000 |
| Bailey Endeavour B64 | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.98 m | £69,999 to £76,000 |
| Swift Trekker | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.98 m | £68,000 to £78,000 |
The Chausson X-series occupies a specific niche, offering a 2.1 metre width that is narrower than most coachbuilts but wider than many panel vans. While alternatives like the Swift Trekker and Hymer Free S offer similar 3500kg MTPLM ratings and 4 berth capacities, the Chausson distinguishes itself with its specific Smart Lounge and electric drop-down bed configuration. Choosing between these models often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Chausson's unique internal volume or the traditional van-based architecture of its competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Owning and maintaining an X-series
- Utilise the 600kg payload carefully to maintain the 3500kg MTPLM limit.
- Make use of the Grade 3 insulation for winter touring to prevent internal freezing.
- Regularly check the electric bed mechanism to ensure smooth operation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Attempting to use the lounge while the electric bed is fully lowered for sleeping.
- Overloading the smaller external lockers beyond their intended capacity.
Worth knowing: Payload capacity can be affected by the installation of optional equipment.
