The Auto-Trail Expedition C72 sits within a competitive six-berth market, including alternatives like the Swift Escape 674 and Auto-Trail Tribute T 736. While it shares the seven point two five metre length and 3500kg weight limit of its siblings in the Expedition range, its specific appeal lies in the rear U-shaped lounge. It balances a generous 560kg payload with a high berth count, though buyers must weigh the social benefits of the lounge against the smaller external locker space compared to garage-equipped rivals.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 560kg payload carefully to maintain the 3500kg weight limit for Category B licence compliance.
- Ensure the three-burner hob and oven/grill are cleaned regularly to maintain the modern kitchen aesthetic.
- Monitor the condition of the hard-wearing upholstery in the high-use rear lounge area.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by over-loading the 560kg payload capacity.
- Neglecting to secure the safety net on the over-cab bed when in use.
Worth knowing: Payload calculations should account for all passengers and optional equipment added after manufacture.
