Compare the IH Motorhomes Irmao with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IH Motorhomes Irmao | 4 | 3200 kg | 4.90 m | £55,000 to £85,000 |
| Panama P/12 | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.97 m | £48,000 to £59,000 |

The IH Motorhomes Irmao occupies a premium position in the compact camper market, focusing on bespoke UK craftsmanship and insulation. While alternatives like the Panama P/12 offer similar dimensions at a lower price point, the Irmao provides a higher MTPLM of 3200kg and a specific GRP rear panel design. Larger alternatives such as the Benimar TESSORO T840 or Auto-Trail F Line F70 offer more living space and 3500kg MTPLM but lack the 4.9m compact footprint and car-like versatility of the Irmao.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the swivel cab seats to maximise the living area when parked.
- Regularly inspect the pop-top roof seals and canvas for wear.
- Make use of the integrated wardrobe and clever storage solutions to maintain floor space.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 3200kg MTPLM by over-loading the 550kg payload capacity.
- Assuming the 4.9m length provides the same floor space as a coachbuilt model.
Worth knowing: The 2.1m height may restrict access to some height-limited car parks. Freshwater levels should be monitored closely due to the compact tank size.
