The Auto-Trail Apache 700 is a large, coachbuilt motorhome designed for families and groups, offering between four and six berths. It is built on a robust chassis with a 3850kg MTPLM and a 650kg payload. With a length of 7.3m, it provides spacious living areas and diverse layout options including French Bed and Overcab Bed configurations. Used prices typically range from 35000 to 75000 pounds.

Compare the Auto-Trail Apache 700 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail Apache 700 | 6 | 3850 kg | 7.30 m | £35,000 to £75,000 |
| Bailey Autograph | 6 | 3850 kg | 7.41 m | £45,000 to £95,000 |
| Auto-Trail Apache | 6 | 4250 kg | 7.45 m | £35,000 to £85,000 |
The Auto-Trail Apache 700 sits in a competitive segment of six berth motorhomes. While it shares a 3850kg MTPLM with the Bailey Autograph, it is slightly shorter at 7.3m compared to the 7.41m of the Bailey. In contrast, models like the Elddis Majestic and Auto-Trail Imala 730 offer six berths on a lighter 3500kg chassis, which avoids C1 licence requirements but may offer less payload than the 650kg provided by the Apache 700. The choice between these models often depends on the specific balance of weight, length, and preferred interior layout.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Practical ownership considerations
- Utilise the generous external storage lockers for bulky outdoor equipment.
- Make use of the separate washroom and shower to maintain self-sufficiency.
- Check the Motorhome Weight Checker tool to confirm licence compatibility for this weight class.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 3850kg MTPLM by failing to account for the 650kg payload limit.
- Attempting to park in standard car-sized spaces due to the 7.3m length.
Worth knowing: The 3.05m height requires careful route planning to avoid low obstacles. Size may result in higher costs for ferry crossings and road tolls.
