Is the Chausson S514 Sport Line a practical choice for narrow roads?
The Chausson S514 Sport Line is a compact coachbuilt motorhome measuring 5.99 metres in length and just 2.1 metres in width. Built on a Ford Transit chassis with a 170bhp automatic drivetrain, it offers the agility of a campervan with the storage benefits of a garage layout. It features a 3500kg MTPLM and a generous 676kg payload, making it suitable for two to three people who prioritise manoeuvrability without losing full motorhome amenities.
- Narrow 2.1 metre body width designed for easier navigation on restricted roads.
- Ford Transit base vehicle featuring a 170bhp engine and automatic gearbox.
- Transverse rear bed layout with a butterfly mechanism for garage access.
- Substantial 676kg payload capacity within a 3500kg MTPLM.
- Heated rear garage equipped with 12V and 230V power sockets.
Worth knowing: The transverse bed layout requires one occupant to climb over the other to exit. Interior aisle space is narrower than standard coachbuilt motorhomes. Kitchen worktop space is limited due to the compact 5.99 metre external length.

While the Auto-Trail F Line F60 and Elddis Evolution 135 share the 5.99 metre length, the Chausson distinguishes itself with its 2.1 metre width and Sport Line styling. The Auto-Trail Excel 620G offers a similar 170bhp automatic setup but in a longer 6.2 metre frame. Buyers must choose between the ultra-compact agility of the S514 and the additional interior space found in slightly wider or longer alternatives.
