Is the Autohaus Camelot a practical choice for long-distance touring?
The Autohaus Camelot is a premium long-wheelbase campervan conversion based on the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1. It is distinguished by a rear-galley kitchen and washroom area, which creates a more open central living space than standard side-kitchen layouts. With 2 to 4 berths and a 3200kg MTPLM, it balances the maneuverability of a van with the functional zones of a larger motorhome.
- Rear-galley kitchen layout with integrated oven and grill.
- Built on the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 long-wheelbase chassis.
- Rib multi-position safety seating and bed system.
- Choice of elevating pop-top or fixed high-roof configurations.
- Webasto diesel heating system for all-season use.
Worth knowing: The rear kitchen layout can isolate the cook from the central social area. Long-wheelbase dimensions may be more challenging to park in tight urban spaces. Premium pricing compared to entry-level camper conversions.

The Autohaus Camelot occupies a specific niche, offering a 5.3m long-wheelbase VW T6.1 platform with a rear-galley layout. When compared to alternatives like the Swift Trekker 540 or Auto-Trail Expedition 67, the Camelot offers a lower 3200kg MTPLM and a more compact width of 1.9m. While the Swift and Auto-Trail models provide higher weight capacities and longer bodies, the Camelot focuses on premium interior finishes and a layout that maximises central floor space within a narrower van footprint.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and maintenance tips for the Camelot
- Utilise the swivel front captain seats to maximise the central social zone.
- Regularly service the Webasto diesel heater to ensure reliable winter performance.
- Monitor the integrated water tanks when camping off-grid to manage the 550kg payload.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all models have 4 berths; some configurations may only sleep 2.
- Overlooking the height difference between pop-top and fixed high-roof versions.
Worth knowing: Payload is 550kg; ensure all added equipment stays within this limit. The 5.3m length requires more clearance than standard short-wheelbase vans.

- Dethleffs Globevan 11 - The Globevan 11 offers a shorter 4.97m length for those who find the 5.3m Camelot too long for urban parking.

- Auto-Trail Expedition 67 140BHP Auto - The Expedition 67 offers a 5.99m length and 3500kg MTPLM for buyers prioritising a larger chassis over the VW T6.1 platform.
