Are you thinking of getting a motorhome for you and your family? Well, you’ll be pleased to know that you will be behind many others in the UK who have opted to ditch the beach holidays abroad for a tour around Europe in their four-wheeler.
In this blog, we are going to be running down the top ten motorhomes for your next family holiday - and for all the parents out there, do not fret we have a motorhome holiday survival guide!
So without further ado, let’s get into it…
10. Chausson X550
Kicking off our list today is the X550 - Chaussons’ very own van-type motorhome combination.
Stepping into the interior and the X550 packs a lot into its 5.99m interior, including a large fixed bathroom at the rear, plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space, as well as a large seating and dining area at the front of the cabin.
Onto the design and I think it may be one of the most appealing pieces of the motorhome. The denim blue furnishings in combination with the LED lights all around and carefully placed X’s across the wall and ceiling give a luxurious hotel vibe - just on four wheels!
Last but not least, when it comes to the price, the Fiat Ducato-based Chasson X550 is due to cost £73,990 in 2024.

A department that the Kilig really does well is the storage. With plenty of space in the lounge and stowage capacity under each of the rear-facing seats, there is plenty of room for you and your family to pack your holiday essentials!
When it comes to the price, the Kilig 9 for 2024 is due to cost around £62,995, again making it one of the more affordable on the list for those who want to get them and their family into motor-homing!

4. Roller Team Auto-Roller 747
Just missing out on one of our top spots today, we have the stunning Auto-Roller 747 from Roller Team…
Bigger than some self-catering holiday apartments, the 747 can easily be mistaken for a palace on wheels. Built on a Ford Transit chassis, the Auto-Roller features a c-shape lounge (converts into a large double bed) in the rear, a spacious living/dining area that can also turn into a double bed, as well as a drop-down bed in the centre of the cabin.
One of my favourite things about the Auto-Roller is the luxurious, spacious interior with LED lights all around, as well as a pretty decently sized fixed bathroom and kitchen area. The finish of the 747 is truly stunning, with the layout and styling perfect for bigger families or those who want to bring guests along on their travels with them.
The 2024 edition of the Auto-Roller 747 now comes equipped with a newly renovated interior as well as built-in WIFI as standard - all for £71,686!

1. Swift Kon-Tiki Grand Prix 874
Stealing the top spot on our list today has got to be a personal favourite of mine since I saw it in the flesh at the Norfolk Motorhome show - we have the Swift Kon-Tiki 874!
The 874 is one of the largest in the Grand Prix range and sits upon a Fiat Al-Ko special chassis. Stepping inside the interior, the 874 comes packed with a large lounge and dining area at the front with Aguti travelling seats, and drop-down bed, a fixed kitchen and washroom in the middle of the cabin as well as a rear parallel lounge which converts into a double bed and rear garage space.
For 2024, the Grand Prix 874 has had a complete redesign inside and out, inspired by the ‘aesthetic of business class jet experiences, helping to create the feel of an ultimate leisure vehicle experience’ according to Lowdhams. This redesign has allowed Swift to create a camper to sleep six people, which is more than enough to take the family, and perhaps the extended family away all at one time!
OvErall, the Kon-Tiki Granx Prix really looks the part, an ideal home away from home with all of the luxury features of a hotel tucked into its 8.96m. When it comes to the price, you will be looking at paying £116,490 which by no means is the most affordable on the list but it is definitely one to keep your eyes on if your budget permits…
