Ace 1500 DB (4 berth): what to know
The Ace 1500 DB (4 berth) is a four-berth motorhome with an over-cab bed, side dinette and end kitchen, measuring 6.16 metres long, 2.22 metres wide and 3.05 metres high. Its 550-kilogram payload and recorded 3,500-kilogram GVW make the plated weight and remaining carrying capacity important checks on any example.
- Four berths are provided by the over-cab bed and dinette conversion described in the supplied editorial.
- The end-kitchen layout includes an oven, grill and hob in the supplied key features.
- The compact side washroom has an integrated shower and toilet.
- The recorded dimensions are 6.16 metres long, 2.22 metres wide and 3.05 metres high.
- The recorded payload is 550 kilograms, with a 3,500-kilogram GVW and 3,400-kilogram MTPLM.
- The supplied editorial lists Truma blown-air heating and a water system, but equipment should be checked on the individual vehicle.
- The marketplace currently records 2 listings and 5 images.
Worth knowing: Specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment. The supplied editorial describes the model as often falling within standard UK B-category licence limits, but the actual plated weight and licence position must be confirmed for the vehicle concerned. The chassis is identified in the supplied editorial as Fiat Ducato or Peugeot Boxer, so the individual example should be checked.
Who the Ace 1500 DB (4 berth) suits
Who it suits
- Families or groups needing four berths in an over-cab layout with a dinette that converts to a second double.
- Couples who want additional sleeping capacity without moving to a longer motorhome than the recorded 6.16-metre length.
- Buyers who prefer an end kitchen and separate compact washroom arrangement rather than a garage-style layout.
- Drivers who are considering a motorhome within standard UK B-category limits, subject to checking the individual vehicle’s plated weights and their licence entitlement.
Reasons to consider it
- The four-berth layout uses an over-cab bed and convertible side dinette, leaving the main living area available for daytime use.
- The end kitchen provides an oven, grill and hob, while the side washroom includes a shower and toilet.
- The 2.22-metre width and 6.16-metre length offer a defined size to assess for storage, pitch and road use.
- The recorded 550-kilogram payload gives a clear starting point for checking passengers, equipment and water against the vehicle’s limits.
- The supplied editorial identifies durable cabinetry, overhead lockers and wardrobe space as practical interior features.
What to check
- Confirm the individual vehicle’s MTPLM, GVW, axle limits and actual payload from its plates and paperwork.
- Measure or verify clearance for the recorded 3.05-metre height before using storage, height-restricted routes or pitches.
- Check that the over-cab bed, safety ladder and dinette conversion suit everyone who will use the sleeping arrangements.
- Inspect the end kitchen equipment, side washroom, heating and water system rather than assuming every listed feature is fitted or operational.
- Establish whether the example has the Fiat Ducato or Peugeot Boxer chassis and review its condition and documentation.
- Assess external storage carefully because the supplied editorial notes less locker space than modern garage-style motorhomes.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not give a production year, so age, condition and specification must be established from the individual listing and documents. The supplied price range is 14,000 to 24,500, but condition, equipment and vehicle history can affect an example’s asking price. The supplied editorial notes that older examples may lack modern infotainment and LED lighting, but equipment varies by vehicle.

Owning and using an Ace 1500 DB (4 berth)
- Plan loading around the recorded 550-kilogram payload, including passengers, luggage, fluids and touring equipment, rather than relying on the berth count alone.
- Use the recorded 3.05-metre height when checking routes, storage, service access and any height restrictions.
- Allow for the 2.22-metre width when judging narrow access, parking and campsite manoeuvring.
- Keep the over-cab bed and its safety ladder clear and check the dinette conversion before each trip if both sleeping areas are needed.
- Use the end-kitchen and side-washroom arrangement to plan onboard storage, because the supplied editorial identifies limited external locker space compared with modern garage-style motorhomes.
- Check the plated weights and axle limits after loading, especially when carrying equipment for four people.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating four berths as evidence that four adults can be carried within the payload without a separate weight check.
- Assuming a standard B-category licence applies without checking the individual vehicle’s plated weight and the driver’s entitlement.
- Ignoring the 3.05-metre height or 2.22-metre width when planning access and storage.
- Assuming the listed appliances, heating and water equipment are present or working without inspecting the specific example.
Worth knowing: No model age or production period is supplied, so maintenance priorities cannot be assigned by age. The supplied information does not identify a particular vehicle’s service history, condition or completed work.
