Sold Vantage Neo Motorhome

[csd4t]

The time has come for me to say goodbye to my well loved motor home I've owned it since 2017 and 29000 miles. Just returned from a 75 day trip through France and Spain, it's based on a 2009 (Nov) X250 Fiat Ducato maxi chassis 6.3m 2.3 multijet. Anyone who knows Vantage will recognize they are at the top of the league for quality and a new one now would be the best part of £100k. It has 59000 ish miles but this may change a little, mot until Feb 2026. Interestingly the first owner was the late DJ Johnny Walker.

It looks like a motorhome to me. Camper vans are generally smaller.

It looks like a motorhome to me. Camper vans are generally smaller.

It’s a type commonly known as a PVC (Panel Van Conversion).

The V5 will, undoubtedly, record it as a Motor Caravan (same as that recorded for a motorhome).

Vantage website initially describes their products as campervans then change it to motorhomes deeper in the website

Probably because punters use Google to search (algorithm) for a “camper van”, as that’s what majority of them (especially first time buyers) know it as. They eventually learn that it is actually a motorhome, but to tell their friends, they still refer to it as a camper van as would I.

This is a motor home to me.

I thought the distinction between a camper van and a motorhome was that you can take a dump and have a shower in a motorhome

I may be wrong, but I understand it as being
Van based is a campervan
Coach built on a chassis is a motorhome, and is usually wider than a van base.

Exactly that.

Two types of motorhome I think. 'A class' which are coach built (using just the original chassis) such as a Hymer B564, and smaller ones that use the donor van's driver cab.

Yes, that’s what I was getting at.
A motorhome is on a van chassis with a normal cab. Then the accommodation is built onto it.

Anyway irrespective of what your vehicle identifies as, it is in my opinion a lovely vehicle.

I may be wrong, but I thought a converted van can be driven 70mph legally on a motorway, whereas a motorhome using the van as a base and bodywork applied to the chassis restricts it to 60mph, as does towing a caravan etc. Whether that's something important or not is up to you
