Compare the Autohaus Ashton with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Autohaus Ashton | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.40 m | £30,000 to £65,000 |
| Bürstner Nexxo | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £30,000 to £75,000 |
| Elddis Autoquest 150 | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £25,000 to £50,000 |
The Autohaus Ashton occupies a specific niche for those requiring a 5.4m motorhome with a 3500kg MTPLM. When compared to the Bürstner Nexxo or Elddis Autoquest 150, the Ashton is notably shorter, which aids manoeuvrability but may reduce internal living space. While the Swift Trekker 540 offers a similar length at a higher price point, the Ashton provides a competitive 700kg payload that is significant for its size class. The choice between these models typically rests on the preference for a compact UK-built footprint versus the additional length found in European alternatives.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Tips for Autohaus Ashton owners
- Utilise the 700kg payload carefully to maintain the 3500kg MTPLM limit.
- Test the dinette conversion process before travel if you are not using a fixed bed layout.
- Regularly service the modern heating and hot water systems to ensure year-round comfort.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 700kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories without weighing the vehicle.
- Assuming all models have 4 berths when some configurations are optimised for 2.
Worth knowing: The 5.4m length is compact, but the 2.7m height still requires clearance awareness.
Alternatives to the Autohaus Ashton
- Bürstner Nexxo - The Bürstner Nexxo offers a similar 3500kg MTPLM but provides a longer 5.99m body for those who find the 5.4m Ashton too compact.
- Elddis Autoquest 150 - The Elddis Autoquest 150 serves as a lower-priced alternative with a starting price of 25000 compared to the Ashton's 30000.
- Autocruise Starfire - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
