| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Westfalia Kelsey | 4 | 3200 kg | 5.34 m | £58,000 to £78,000 |
| Auto-Sleepers ACTIVE KB635 P | 4 | 3200 kg | 5.34 m | £58,000 to £78,000 |

The Westfalia Kelsey occupies a specific niche by offering a rear washroom and dual-sliding doors on a 5.34m Ford chassis. When compared to the Auto-Sleepers Active KB635 P, it matches the length and 3200kg MTPLM exactly. However, it sits at a higher price point than the Panama P12 Plus or Dreamer Cap Land Select, which both offer similar 5.34m dimensions. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for Westfalia's specific interior layout and the inclusion of the Froli spring bed system versus the lower entry prices of its competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Tips for Westfalia Kelsey owners
- Utilise the swivel seats to maximise the lounge space when the four-berth configuration is in use.
- Make use of the 51L compressor fridge efficiency by pre-chilling items before departure.
- Regularly check the pop-top seals to maintain the integrity of the secondary double bed area.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the compact storage lockers, which can impact the 460kg payload.
- Neglecting to service the Webasto diesel heater, which is essential for year-round use.
Worth knowing: Payload is 460kg; ensure all passengers and gear do not exceed the 3200kg MTPLM.
