Motorhomes under 3500kg – Our Top Picks

Buying a motorhome to go exploring the best that UK staycations have to offer is becoming increasingly attractive. Smaller motorhomes under 3500kg offer the perfect choice, particularly for those new to motorhoming, given that they can be driven on a standard driving licence – a fact which has made them extremely sought-after. Most motorhomes are thus designed specifically not to exceed 3500kg. You can find everything you could possibly need in a smaller vehicle, without becoming overwhelmed by a larger Class-A motorhome. Aside from being easier to drive, opting for a smaller motorhome has several benefits:

1. Manageable size

Smaller motorhomes are easier to park and manoeuvre – ideal if you’re navigating busier areas or narrow country roads.

2. Smaller price tag

Many motorhomes are considered a significant investment, so if you’re looking for something to fit you’re budget, you’re more likely to find what you’re after among the more compact models.

3. More efficient

More often than not, the smaller the motorhome, the more efficient it is when it comes to fuel consumption. This also makes them more efficient when it comes to heating the living space in colder weather.

4. Daily driving

If you’re worried about space on the driveaway or the potential cost of running another vehicle, many smaller motorhomes are a great size for daily driving.

5. Less setup

Once parked up at your destination, there’s no need to set-up additional pop-outs such as extending slides (a feature of many larger motorhomes). Simply park up, hook up to the amenities, and enjoy your trip.

Our Top Picks

Smaller size does not mean cutting corners when it comes to features and specification. Here at Spinney, we offer an extensive range of motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes from a number of highly reputable manufacturers including:
