The Auto-Trail Excel 620S 165BHP Auto occupies a specific niche, offering the 6.2 metre length of a compact van with the refined interior of a coachbuilt. While alternatives like the Excel 675 B offer more length at the same 3500kg MTPLM, the 620S focuses on agility. Compared to the Expedition 68, it provides a higher engine output and a different layout, though at a higher price point. The choice depends on whether the buyer values the slimline 2.24m width over the extra interior volume found in wider models.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the Whale 4kW heating system regularly to maintain the interior during winter storage.
- Monitor the 560kg payload carefully when installing bike racks to stay within the 3500kg limit.
- Keep the panoramic skyview window clean to maximise natural light in the front lounge.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the rear kitchen area which can affect weight distribution.
- Assuming standard motorhome accessories will fit the narrower 2.24m body without adjustment.
Worth knowing: Always verify the MTPLM against your driving licence permissions.
