Xplore motorhomes: models, prices and current UK stock

Xplore is a specialist British manufacturer of caravans, engineered by the Erwin Hymer Group UK at their state-of-the-art production facility in Consett, County Durham. Renowned for producing some of the lightest leisure vehicles on the UK market, Xplore focuses on agility and accessibility without compromising structural integrity. Their caravans are specifically engineered to be easy to tow, making them a practical choice for owners of smaller tow cars and those new to the touring lifestyle, offering an ideal blend of performance and convenience.

Every Xplore model is built using the innovative SoLiD Construction method, a structural bonding process that replaces traditional mechanical fixings to provide superior resistance against water ingress and enhanced durability. The range prioritises versatile layouts that maximise floor space through clever interior design, ensuring comfort and practicality for all travellers.

Equipped with reliable components such as Whale heating systems, Xplore vehicles offer a fuel-efficient solution for active couples and families seeking high-quality British craftsmanship in a compact, manageable package.

As part of the prestigious Erwin Hymer Group, Xplore benefits from extensive industry expertise and a commitment to innovation. This lineage ensures that each Xplore caravan delivers modern engineering and a dependable touring experience, making them a popular choice for those embarking on their caravanning adventures or looking for a lightweight, well-appointed vehicle.

Xplore was introduced by the Explorer Group (now Erwin Hymer Group UK) as a dedicated brand focused on the lightweight caravan market. Manufactured in County Durham alongside sister brands Elddis, Compass, and Buccaneer, Xplore was developed to provide a high-quality solution for motorists with lower towing capacities, effectively lowering the barrier to entry for British caravanners.

A significant milestone for the brand occurred in 2012 with the implementation of SoLiD Construction across the entire range. Developed in collaboration with Henkel, this advanced chemical bonding system moved the brand away from traditional screw-and-bolt assembly, resulting in a stronger, lighter, and more weather-resistant vehicle body. In 2017, Xplore’s parent organisation was acquired by the global Erwin Hymer Group. This transition integrated the brand into one of the world’s largest leisure vehicle networks, granting access to international research and development while preserving its identity as a British manufacturer.

While historically focused on the caravan sector, Xplore has recently diversified its portfolio by expanding into the motorhome and campervan market. This evolution applies the brand's signature lightweight philosophy to motorised chassis, catering to a new generation of adventure-led tourers. Today, Xplore continues to hold a distinct position in the industry, focusing on efficient designs and modern engineering for the contemporary UK traveller.
