A compact 5.99m low-profile motorhome on a Ford chassis.
The Auto-Trail F-Line F62 is a sub-6-metre, low-profile motorhome designed for manoeuvrability and ease of driving on a standard UK licence. It features a Ford Transit base, a generous 620kg payload, and a layout centred on a large front lounge and a rear kitchen. While it can sleep four with an optional drop-down bed, its compact footprint makes it particularly popular with couples seeking a spacious living area without the bulk of a larger coachbuilt.
- Built on the Ford Transit chassis with 130bhp or 170bhp EcoBlue engine options.
- Compact 5.99m external length with a 3500kg MTPLM, suitable for standard UK car licences.
- Features a spacious front lounge and a high-specification rear kitchen layout.
- Sleeping capacity for up to four people when the optional electric drop-down bed is fitted.
- Equipped with Whale 4.7kW space heating and a Whale Expanse water heater.
Worth knowing: The rear kitchen configuration reduces available worktop space compared to side-kitchen alternatives. Converting the lounge into a bed can be more time-consuming than using a fixed-bed layout. External storage is limited as there is no large rear garage.
Buying an Auto-Trail F-Line F62
Who it suits
- Couples who want a car-like driving experience on winding or coastal roads.
- Drivers restricted to a Category B licence who still require a substantial 620kg payload.
- Owners who prefer a large, social front lounge over a fixed rear bedroom.
Reasons to consider it
- The Ford Transit chassis offers modern cab ergonomics and a panoramic Sky-view window.
- At 5.99m, it is easier to park and navigate through urban areas than longer F-Line models.
- The domestic-style shower and integrated washroom storage provide high utility in a compact space.
What to check
- Confirm which Ford EcoBlue engine is fitted (130bhp or 170bhp).
- Test the operation of the 8-inch Zenec head unit and motorhome-specific navigation.
- Inspect the Salinas Oak wood finish and upholstery for wear in high-traffic lounge areas.
- Verify the operation of the Whale heating system and the electric drop-down bed if present.
Worth knowing: Check if the specific unit has the optional electric drop-down bed, as this determines if it is a true four-berth. The 5.99m length is excellent for parking but means internal storage is prioritised over external locker space.
Compare the Auto-Trail F Line F62 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail F Line F62 | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £52,000 to £74,000 |
| Auto-Trail Expedition C63 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.34 m | £48,000 to £62,000 |
| Auto-Trail F-Line F60 165BHP Auto | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £58,000 to £74,500 |
The Auto-Trail F-Line F62 occupies a specific niche for those prioritising a sub-6-metre length without sacrificing a social living area. Compared to the F67, which shares the same 5.99m footprint, the F62 trades a rear lounge for a more traditional front lounge and end kitchen setup. While the Mobilvetta K Yacht T Line 59 offers a similar footprint at a higher price point, the F62 remains a competitive Ford-based option for those who value a high payload and a standard car licence weight limit. The choice between these models typically rests on whether the buyer prefers the F62's rear kitchen or the fixed-bed or rear-lounge layouts found in its stablemates.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 620kg payload carefully to maintain the car-like handling characteristics of the Ford chassis.
- Regularly check the seals around the panoramic Sky-view over-cab window.
- When using the lounge bed conversion, ensure the swivel captain's seats are fully rotated to maximise floor space.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all F62 models are four-berth; some may only be two-berth if the optional drop-down bed was not selected.
- Overloading the rear kitchen cupboards, which can impact weight distribution on the short 5.99m chassis.
Worth knowing: Payload figures can be affected by the installation of heavy accessories like bike racks or awnings.
Alternatives to the Auto-Trail F Line F62
- Auto-Trail Expedition C63 - A more budget-conscious entry into the Auto-Trail range, though it lacks the Ford-based F-Line's specific chassis features.
- Auto-Trail F-Line F60 165BHP Auto - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
- Auto-Trail F-Line F67 165BHP Auto - For buyers seeking a similar 5.99m length but with a rear lounge layout rather than the F62's front lounge and end kitchen.
