Low profile models maintain the original cab shape of the base vehicle and boast a sleek, streamlined design.

Frequently asked questions about coachbuilt and low-profile motorhomes
A coachbuilt motorhome, also known as a Class C motorhome, is constructed by building a living compartment onto the chassis of a van or truck, retaining the original cab where the driver and passenger seats are located. These motorhomes are favoured for their spacious interiors, which often include fully-equipped kitchens, comfortable living areas, modern bathrooms, and versatile sleeping arrangements. They come in two main types: low profile, which maintains the sleek, streamlined shape of the cab, and over cab, which features additional sleeping space above the driver’s cab, often accessed by a ladder or stairs. Coachbuilt motorhomes are ideal for travellers seeking a blend of home comforts and mobility.
Coachbuilt motorhomes are generally considered easier to drive than A-class motorhomes for several reasons. With their design retaining the original cab shape of the base vehicle, coachbuilt motorhomes offer a more familiar driving experience, akin to driving a large van or SUV. Additionally, many coachbuilt models weigh around 3500kg, avoiding the need for an additional driving licence classification. Their lower profile and weight distribution contribute to better handling and manoeuvrability on the road, making them a popular choice for both beginners and experienced travellers seeking ease of driving without compromising on comfort and amenities.
