| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jerba Cromarty | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.90 m | £35,000 to £75,000 |
| Volkswagen Volkswagen T6.1 SWB | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.90 m | £35,000 to £85,000 |

The Jerba Cromarty sits in a competitive 4.9m Volkswagen-based segment alongside models like the Hillside Hopton and Southlands Conversio. While it shares the 3000kg MTPLM and 4-berth potential of its rivals, the Cromarty is distinguished by its specific focus on British cabinetry and all-season insulation. Its price range of 35000 to 75000 is consistent with high-quality Transporter conversions, though some alternatives offer lower entry prices or higher maximum specifications.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance
- Utilise the front swivel seats to maximise the living area in the 4.9m cabin.
- Regularly service the Volkswagen Transporter mechanical components to maintain reliability.
- Ensure the side kitchen fridge and hob are level when parked for optimal operation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 600kg payload by failing to account for the weight of water and gas.
- Attempting to use the upper berths without confirming the specific weight limits of the pop-top bed.
Worth knowing: Always verify the exact height before entering restricted car parks, as the pop-top adds to the 2m base height.
