Compare the Auto-Trail Frontier Delaware with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail Frontier Delaware | 4 | 4500 kg | 8.07 m | £55,000 to £115,000 |
| Auto-Trail Savannah | 4 | 4500 kg | 7.65 m | £45,000 to £98,000 |
| Auto-Sleepers Burford | 4 | 4100 kg | 7.92 m | £65,000 to £115,000 |
The Auto-Trail Frontier Delaware sits at the top of the Frontier range, offering a longer 8.07m footprint compared to the 7.65m Savannah. While it shares the 4500kg MTPLM with the Rapido i196M, the Delaware focuses on a traditional British luxury layout with a front lounge and rear island bed. It offers a higher payload than the Bailey Autograph 79 4, though it requires a C1 licence which the 3500kg Auto-Trail F Line F70 does not. The choice between these models depends on the priority given to interior space versus ease of navigation.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 850kg payload to distribute weight evenly across the Al-Ko chassis.
- Regularly test the reversing camera to assist with the 8.07m vehicle length.
- Ensure the split washroom seals are maintained to protect the ensuite layout.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the turning circle required for the 8.07m length.
- Exceeding the 4500kg MTPLM if heavy optional equipment is added.
Worth knowing: Always verify the exact vehicle height of 3.03m before entering restricted areas.
Alternatives to the Auto-Trail Frontier Delaware
- Auto-Trail Savannah - Choose the Savannah for a shorter 7.65m length while maintaining the 4500kg MTPLM and Auto-Trail brand identity.

- Bailey Autograph 79 4 - The Autograph 79 4 provides a 4 berth layout at a lower 3850kg MTPLM for buyers seeking a lighter vehicle.
