The Malibu Compact is a 5.41 metre campervan from the Carthago Group, designed for two people. It features a transverse rear bed, a 3300 kg MTPLM, and a 580 kg payload. Built on a Fiat Ducato chassis, it focuses on high-quality insulation and space-saving interior solutions like the flexi-washroom.

Buying a Malibu Compact campervan.
Who it suits
- • Solo travellers or couples seeking a premium vehicle under six metres.
- • Drivers who need to park in standard parking bays or navigate narrow roads.

Reasons to consider it

- • Short-wheelbase chassis provides excellent manoeuvrability.
What to check
