Is the Chausson S614 First Line a practical choice for UK touring?
The Chausson S614 First Line is a compact coachbuilt motorhome that bridges the gap between a campervan and a traditional motorhome. At 5.99 metres long and only 2.1 metres wide, it is specifically designed for agility on narrow roads while providing a 780kg payload and a large rear garage.
- Ultra-compact 2.1 metre width designed for easier navigation of narrow rural roads.
- Innovative butterfly bed system located above a large rear garage with dual access doors.
- Built on the Ford Transit chassis with engine options reaching 170bhp.
- Plated at 3500kg MTPLM, making it accessible to drivers with a standard UK Category B licence.
- Flexible sleeping arrangements for two to four people across a rear transverse bed and lounge conversion.
Worth knowing: The 2.1 metre width results in a narrower interior aisle which may feel tight for two people moving at once. Kitchen worktop space is limited compared to larger coachbuilt motorhomes. The secondary double bed formed by the lounge conversion is primarily intended for occasional use or children.
Buying a Chausson S614 First Line
Who it suits
- Couples downsizing from larger tag-axle models who require a more manoeuvrable vehicle without losing garage space.
- Newcomers to motorhoming who prefer a narrower 2.1 metre body for easier parking and driving.
Reasons to consider it
- High payload of 780kg allows for significant gear storage within the 3500kg MTPLM.
- The 7-year water ingress warranty provides long-term peace of mind for new buyers.
- Contemporary First Line finishes offer a modern aesthetic and durable interior surfaces.
What to check
- Inspect the dual access doors of the rear garage to ensure they meet your storage requirements.
- Test the swivel captain's chairs to ensure the Smart-Lounge configuration suits your dining needs.
- Check the operation of the butterfly bed system to understand how it affects garage storage height.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific engine output as 170bhp is an option rather than standard on all units. Verify the comfort of the lounge bed conversion if you intend to use all four berths regularly.
Compare the Chausson S614 First Line with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chausson S614 First Line | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £52,000 to £68,000 |
| Chausson C514 First Line | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £48,000 to £62,000 |

The Chausson S614 First Line occupies a specific niche, offering the narrow 2.1 metre width of a van conversion with the storage advantages of a coachbuilt garage layout. While alternatives like the Chausson C514 or Auto-Trail Expedition 67 offer similar 5.99 metre lengths at different price points, the S614 distinguishes itself with the butterfly bed system and Ford Transit 170bhp engine options. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for the S614's ultra-compact width versus the interior volume of wider coachbuilt competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 780kg payload carefully to maintain the vehicle's agile handling characteristics.
- Regularly inspect seals as part of the 7-year water ingress warranty requirements.
- Make use of the dual garage doors to organise heavy items, keeping the 2.1 metre width in mind when parking for access.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the rear garage despite the 780kg payload, which can affect front-axle traction on the Ford chassis.
- Assuming the lounge conversion bed is suitable for two adults for extended periods.
Worth knowing: Be mindful of the 2.75 metre height when navigating low bridges or fuel station canopies.
