Is the Auto-Trail Scout a practical choice for touring?

The Auto-Trail Scout is a versatile motorhome suited for both couples and families, offering between two and six berths. With a 600kg payload and a 3500kg MTPLM, it provides a balance of living space and storage capacity within a 6.8 metre frame. Its variety of layouts, including rear lounge and fixed bed options, caters to different touring styles.

  • Accommodates between two and six berths depending on the specific configuration.
  • Standard external length of 6.8 metres and a width of 2.3 metres.
  • Maximum Technical Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) of 3500kg.
  • Payload capacity of 600kg for equipment and personal effects.
  • Available layouts include Overcab, Rear Lounge, Fixed Bed, and Dinette options.

Worth knowing: Fuel efficiency may be lower than smaller models due to the overcab profile. The 6.8 metre length and 3 metre height require careful navigation on narrow roads.

Buying an Auto-Trail Scout: What you need to know

Who it suits

  • Families requiring up to six berths and a spacious dinette area.
  • Couples seeking a larger 6.8 metre motorhome with a dedicated rear lounge.
  • All-season tourers who benefit from high-quality insulation and efficient heating.

Reasons to consider it

  • Robust build quality and high-quality insulation for year-round use.
  • Generous 600kg payload allows for significant storage of supplies.
  • Versatile sleeping arrangements including overcab and convertible lounge options.

What to check

  • Verify the specific berth count as models range from two to six occupants.
  • Confirm the layout type, such as Rear Lounge or Fixed Bed, to suit your needs.
  • Check the condition of the overcab area for any signs of wear or moisture.
  • Ensure the 600kg payload is sufficient for your intended touring equipment.

Worth knowing: The overcab design can impact aerodynamics and interior head height in the cabin area. Larger dimensions may present challenges when parking in standard spaces.

Tips for Auto-Trail Scout owners

  • Utilise the external storage solutions to keep the 2.3 metre wide interior clear.
  • Make use of the high-quality insulation for comfortable touring during winter months.
  • Regularly inspect the seals on the overcab section to maintain the robust build quality.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Underestimating the 3 metre height when approaching low bridges or fuel station canopies.
  • Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by not monitoring the 600kg payload limit.

Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact berth and layout configuration before purchase as these vary across the production run.
