About the Chausson S697 GA
The Chausson S697 GA is a masterclass in 'slim-line' design, bridging the gap between a compact campervan and a full-sized coachbuilt motorhome. At just 2.10 metres wide, it offers incredible agility on narrow UK country lanes and easier parking, yet maintains the structural integrity and insulation of a premium low-profile model. Built on the robust Ford Transit chassis with a powerful engine, it provides a car-like driving experience that is particularly appealing to those transitioning from smaller vehicles or those who enjoy touring off-the-beaten-path locations.
Inside, the clever layout focuses on comfort and storage without feeling cramped. The rear is dedicated to twin longitudinal beds which provide easy access and can be joined to create a massive king-size sleeping area, while the 'Smart Lounge' up front utilises swivel captain’s chairs to create a social dining space. The standout feature for many adventurers is the expansive, heated rear garage, capable of storing e-bikes and bulky gear securely. Whether you are a couple seeking a nimble tourer or a small family looking for a high-quality build, the S697 GA delivers a refined sanctuary on wheels. Explore the latest Chausson S697 GA listings and start your journey on RoamWorthy.

Is the Chausson S697 GA the right slim-line motorhome for you?
The Chausson S697 GA is a 6.59m low-profile motorhome that bridges the gap between a campervan and a coachbuilt. Its 2.1m width and Ford Transit chassis cater to drivers seeking agility without sacrificing the insulation and storage of a larger vehicle. With a 650kg payload and twin rear beds, it is a dedicated tourer for couples or small families.
- Slim-line 2.1m exterior width designed for easier navigation of narrow lanes.
- Twin longitudinal rear beds that can be converted into a large king-size sleeping area.
- Substantial 650kg payload capacity within a 3500kg MTPLM.
- Large heated rear garage with dual access doors suitable for e-bikes.
- Built on a Ford Transit chassis with a 6.59m total vehicle length.
Worth knowing: The interior aisle is narrower than standard 2.3m wide motorhomes, which may restrict movement. The third berth is created via a dinette conversion and is primarily sized for a child. Kitchen worktop space is reduced compared to wider coachbuilt alternatives.
Buying a Chausson S697 GA: What you need to know
Who it suits
- • Couples transitioning from campervans who require more storage and better insulation.
- • Drivers who frequently tour off-the-beaten-path locations with narrow access roads.
- • Active owners needing a high 650kg payload for heavy sports equipment.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 2.1m width makes it significantly easier to park and manoeuvre than standard 2.3m models.
- • The Ford Transit cab provides a car-like driving experience with modern safety features.
- • A 7-year water ingress warranty provides long-term peace of mind for the habitation body.
What to check
- • Verify the operation of the 'Butterfly' bathroom door to ensure it meets your space requirements.
- • Inspect the rear garage dimensions to ensure your specific e-bikes or gear will fit.
- • Test the dinette-to-berth conversion if you intend to use the third sleeping space regularly.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific engine output as 170bhp is an optional upgrade. Check the exact price as listings range between 58000 and 72000 depending on specification.
Compare the Chausson S697 GA with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chausson S697 GA | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.59 m | £58,000 to £72,000 |
| Auto-Trail EXCEL 675 B | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.75 m | £62,000 to £78,000 |
| Rapido V68 140BHP Auto | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.36 m | £58,000 to £82,000 |
The Chausson S697 GA occupies a specific niche, offering the 2.1m width of a van conversion with the 6.59m length and garage capacity of a coachbuilt. While alternatives like the Auto-Trail Excel 675 B offer more length at 6.75m, and the Rapido V68 provides a more compact 6.36m footprint, the Chausson balances these with a high 650kg payload and a dedicated twin-bed layout. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the S697 GA's slim-line coachbuilt insulation over the narrower interior aisle inherent in this design.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 650kg payload carefully to maintain the 3500kg MTPLM for standard driving licences.
- Make use of the dual access doors in the garage to organise heavy gear for better weight distribution.
- Ensure annual habitation checks are performed to maintain the 7-year water ingress warranty.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overestimating the comfort of the third berth for adult passengers.
- • Assuming all models include the 170bhp engine upgrade without checking the specific build.
Worth knowing: Payload figures can be affected by the addition of optional equipment like awnings or bike racks.
Alternatives to the Chausson S697 GA
