- Large rear garage capable of transporting bicycles or scooters.
What to check
- Verify the specific chassis type as models are built on either Iveco Daily or MAN TGL.

- Check the service history of the Alde heating system and double floor seals.

Compare the Concorde Charisma with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concorde Charisma | 5 | 7490 kg | 8.50 m | £85,000 to £380,000 |
| Swift Kon-Tiki 784 180BHP Auto | 4 | 5000 kg | 8.84 m | £85,000 to £135,000 |
| Swift Kon-Tiki 874 180BHP Auto | 6 | 5000 kg | 8.22 m | £85,000 to £135,000 |
The Concorde Charisma sits in a distinct class compared to the allowed alternatives. While the Swift Kon-Tiki and Adria Sonic models offer similar berth counts (up to 6 and 5 respectively), they operate at significantly lower MTPLM weights of 4400kg to 5000kg. The Charisma provides a much higher 1690kg payload and a 7490kg MTPLM, reflecting its heavy-duty MAN or Iveco foundations. Buyers must choose between the agility and lower price points of the Kon-Tiki or Sonic ranges and the heavy-duty, four-season engineering of the Charisma.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 1690kg payload carefully to maintain vehicle balance across the 8.5m length.
- Regularly inspect the heated double floor storage areas for optimal thermal performance.
- Ensure the porcelain toilet and mineral worktops are secured correctly before transit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the 3.5m height when approaching low bridges or overhanging trees.
- Failing to account for the 2.4m width when planning routes through rural UK lanes.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the specific year and trim as specifications can vary by model year.
