quoteMany of us dream about owning a top-end, luxurious motorhome – and some of you might already be lucky enough to drive one.
In last month’s community poll we asked for your vote on who makes the most luxurious motorhome models.
With hundreds of voters and lots of manufacturers to choose from, there was no stand out winner and the battle for the top spot was split between two with only eight-and-a-half per cent of the votes each.
Here’s the results…
UK-based manufacturer, Auto-Sleepers, which has been building motorhomes since 1961, took joint first place, alongside German marque, Concorde – known for its large A-Class models.
They were closely followed by two more German manufacturers, Carthago and Hymer, who notched up almost 8 per cent of the votes each to take joint third place.
It was back to the UK for fifth place with Auto-Trail gaining seven per cent of the votes. Also making the top 10 luxury motorhome list were Burstner, Neismann + Bischoff, Rapido, Swift and Winnebago.
With so many luxury motorhome brands out there, many manufacturers received a small number of votes, and a handful even failed to get onto the leader board.
Your comments…
Sadly, not many voters commented on their selection.
But Terry flew the flag for eighth-placed Swift Leisure Group: “I have owned two Kon Tiki’s – one a 669 and currently a 679,” he said. “Both have the wow factor with quality materials and fantastic layouts.”
What do you make of the results? Let us know in the comments box below.
Bit late for this one but i had two Swift motorhomes and three Hymers two N & B one Rapido the germans wins hands down
Having bought a Swift Bolero728,from new ,over 3 years ago and having used it it all weathers,my praise of this Motorhome comes very high.
Build quality is reassuringly good,helped by a contemporary look and feel.
Being the owner of two high end German engineered cars,my conclusion is that Swift compares favourably,without spending all the children’s inheritance!
I totally agree I have owned many motorhomes and the British makes do not compare to the quality of the German motorhomes you get what you pay for I have had a Burstner Argos for nine faultless years and use it all year round at home and in Europe.
Any vote by owners will always have more British votes as they are cheaper to buy there are more of them.

Totally agree with John Heppenstall and having had both a British built mid range Motorhome and a continental A class, there is no comparison. Would be interesting to see which brand the voters actually owned and has this skewed the result?
It does not surprise me to find the German motorhomes on the top of the list. I have been motor homing for 15 years, first a Hymer 754 and now a Carthago Chic C liner. Both well designed, well insulated for winter touring and built to last. Yes, a little expensive for the initial outlay but they hold their price well in the secondhand market and are in much demand – hence easy to sell. We, on average, tour 3 months of the year on the continent to escape the British winter and the motor home has given us a lot of pleasure over the years and wonderful experiences all over the continent. In a German built motor home we have had no problems and feel confident to travel to far away places.
This is a joke to have Autosleeper along with Concord as winners as it’s like chalk and cheese Autosleeper is nowhere in the same league and realistically it might be the best British built mid range motorhome but its long way from being luxurious or even comming close to competing with the high end German manufactures.
