A versatile six-berth family motorhome on a 3500kg chassis.

The Auto-Trail Expedition C72 is a seven point two five metre coachbuilt motorhome designed for families, offering six berths and six travel seats. Built on a Fiat Ducato chassis, it features a rear U-shaped lounge and an over-cab bed, maintaining a 3500kg MTPLM to ensure it can be driven on a standard UK car licence.

  • Rear U-shaped lounge and central double dinette layouts.
  • Fiat Ducato chassis with a 140bhp Euro 6D engine.
  • MTPLM of 3500kg, suitable for standard UK Category B licences.

Worth knowing: Kitchen worktop space is restricted when the sink is in use. External storage lockers are smaller than those found on garage-style models. The over-cab bed height may feel restricted for taller occupants.

Buying an Auto-Trail Expedition C72

Who it suits

  • Large families requiring six berths without needing a C1 driving licence.
  • Groups who prioritise social space, provided by the rear U-shaped lounge.
  • Drivers seeking a manual six-speed gearbox on a Fiat chassis.

Reasons to consider it

  • It offers a high payload of 560kg for a six-berth vehicle.
  • The layout provides two distinct social areas for daytime use.
  • Entry-level pricing for a full-sized coachbuilt motorhome.

What to check

  • Verify the operation of the Whale heating and water systems.
  • Inspect the 'Vivaldi' luxury upholstery for wear in high-traffic lounge areas.
  • Test the conversion of the rear U-shaped lounge and central dinette into beds.

Worth knowing: Confirm the specific year of production as specifications can vary by model year and optional equipment. Check the clearance of the over-cab sleeping area to ensure it meets your requirements.

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.
