| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pilote Atlas A690gj | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £78,000 to £89,500 |

The Pilote Atlas A690gj occupies a specific niche, combining the rugged Ford Transit Trail chassis with a refined low-profile body. While alternatives like the Swift Voyager 574 offer a longer 7.07m frame at a lower price point, the Atlas focuses on mechanical capability with its limited-slip differential. The Mobilvetta KEA 80/2 matches the 6.99m length but requires a higher weight tolerance, making the Pilote a balanced choice for those restricted to a 3500kg licence who still desire a garage-model layout.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance
- Utilise the 12V and 230V sockets in the garage to maintain gear while travelling.

- Monitor the slimline 133L fridge performance during high summer temperatures.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the garage beyond the 450kg total payload capacity.

Worth knowing: Be mindful of the 2.88m height when navigating low bridges or fuel station canopies.
