    Last updated: 13 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    What defines the Carthago Chic S Plus?

    The Carthago Chic S Plus is a heavy-duty A-class motorhome built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. It is distinguished by its 5500kg MTPLM, providing a substantial 1150kg payload. Designed for year-round use, it features a wood-free body shell, a 70cm deep heated double floor, and an ALDE warm water system. With berths ranging from two to five, it offers high-capacity storage including a 450kg rated rear garage.

    • Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with rear-wheel drive and 5500kg MTPLM.
    • Heated 70cm double floor basement housing 235L fresh and 200L waste water tanks.
    • Versatile layout options including Island Bed, Fixed Twin Beds, and Rear Lounge.
    • ALDE warm water central heating system with a dedicated driver cab booster.

    Worth knowing: A C1 driving licence category is required due to the 5500kg MTPLM. The 8.6m length and 2.27m width require careful navigation on narrow roads.

    Buying a Carthago Chic S Plus

    Who it suits

    • • Long-duration tourers requiring a high 1150kg payload for extensive equipment.
    • • Winter travellers who benefit from the GRP roof, floor, and frost-proof water tanks.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The 5500kg MTPLM allows for significant carrying capacity without compromising on luxury features.
    • • Superior traction provided by the Mercedes-Benz rear-wheel drive configuration.
    • • High-specification 'Duo-Raum' bathroom with a completely separate rain shower.

    What to check

    • • Verify the specific layout as options include Island Bed, Fixed Twin Beds, and Rear Lounge.
    • • Confirm the presence of the optional drop-down cab bed if five berths are required.
    • • Check the service history of the Mercedes-Benz rear-wheel drive chassis and ALDE heating system.

    Worth knowing: The premium price range of 115000 to 235000 reflects its position as a high-investment vehicle. The 3.12m height must be considered for bridge and height-restriction clearances.

    Compare the Carthago Chic S Plus with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Carthago Chic S Plus55500 kg8.60 m£115,000 to £235,000
    Swift Kon Tiki 79465000 kg8.59 m£75,000 to £135,000
    Hymer B-MC I680 BLACKLINE54430 kg7.39 m£110,000 to £155,000

    The Carthago Chic S Plus sits at the upper end of the A-class market with a price range reaching 235000. While alternatives like the Swift Kon Tiki 794 or Hymer B-ML i 780 offer similar berth counts at lower MTPLM weights, the Carthago provides a higher 1150kg payload and a deeper 70cm double floor. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the 5500kg heavy-duty Mercedes-Benz chassis of the Carthago or the lower weight and different price points of its competitors.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Carthago Chic S Plus Ownership Tips

    • Utilise the 70cm double floor for heavy items to maintain a low centre of gravity.
    • Monitor the 235L fresh water tank levels when preparing for off-grid stays.
    • Ensure the ALDE heating booster is used in the driver's cab during extreme winter conditions.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Underestimating the 3.12m height when planning routes through rural areas.
    • • Exceeding the 450kg weight limit of the rear garage despite the large total payload.

    Worth knowing: The 5500kg weight exceeds the standard 3.5-tonne passenger car licence limit.
