About the Chausson 650

The Chausson 650 is a masterclass in French motorhome design, focusing on a sense of openness and luxury within a relatively compact profile. Its standout feature is the innovative 'Smart Lounge', where face-to-face benches provide a social atmosphere that feels significantly larger than its dimensions suggest. By removing fixed permanent beds from the main living floor, Chausson has maximised daytime living space, making it one of the most comfortable models for entertaining or relaxing after a day of exploring the British coastline or the highlands.

Built on a choice of Ford or Fiat chassis, the 650 offers a refined driving experience coupled with practical amenities like a full-width rear washroom and a surprisingly large garage accessible from both sides. This model is particularly appealing for those who want the luxury of a large bathroom and dressing area without the length of a tag-axle vehicle. The electric drop-down bed integrates seamlessly into the ceiling, ensuring that your sleeping quarters are ready in seconds without disrupting the lounge setup earlier in the evening. Discover your next adventure by exploring the current Chausson 650 listings on RoamWorthy.
