Discover why Chausson remains a popular choice for those seeking a blend of technical innovation and stylish living spaces on the road.

Founded in 1903, Chausson originally established itself as a significant player in the French automotive industry, producing various vehicle components and bus bodies. It was in 1980 that the company pivoted its expertise toward the leisure vehicle market, launching its first motorhome, the Odyssée 4000, at the Paris Motor Show. This transition marked the beginning of Chausson's evolution into a dedicated manufacturer of recreational vehicles.

Throughout the late 20th century, the brand gained a reputation for pioneering manufacturing techniques and layout designs that challenged industry norms. In 1994, Chausson became part of the Trigano Group, a move that provided the industrial scale and resources to expand its reach across Europe. Significant milestones include the development of the 'Welcome' and 'Flash' ranges, which successfully introduced high-specification features to the mid-market segment.

Today, Chausson operates from one of the largest production facilities in Europe, located in the Ardèche region of France. The brand is distinguished by its willingness to experiment with unconventional floorplans, such as the suite-style layouts and central kitchen designs. By maintaining a focus on technical advancement and user-centric design, Chausson has secured its position as a key manufacturer for UK motorhome enthusiasts, delivering over 5,000 vehicles annually to a global market.
