About the Auto-Trail Savannah

The Auto-Trail Savannah stands as a flagship of the Frontier range, specifically engineered for long-distance touring and couples who prioritize luxury and space. Built on the heavy-duty Fiat Ducato Al-Ko chassis, this motorhome provides a remarkably stable and smooth driving experience, even when fully loaded. The interior is defined by its spacious front lounge and the popular rear bedroom configuration featuring twin fixed single beds, creating a dedicated hotel-room feel that separates the sleeping quarters from the main living area.

Attention to detail is evident throughout the Savannah, from the fully-equipped L-shaped kitchen to the boutique-style central washroom that spans the width of the vehicle. With its generous garage storage and high-specification heating systems, it is an ideal choice for year-round adventures across the UK and the continent. The Savannah perfectly balances the comforts of home with the freedom of the open road, making it a perennial favorite among experienced motorhomers.
