A slim-profile motorhome for agile touring.
The Chausson Etape is a versatile motorhome range designed for agility, featuring a narrow 2.15m width and a 6.99m length. Built on the Peugeot Boxer chassis, it offers between 2 and 4 berths with a 3500kg MTPLM. It is particularly suited to UK roads due to its slim profile and smart interior layouts, including the signature Smart-Lounge and electric drop-down bed options.
- Slim-line body width of 2.15m for improved manoeuvrability.
- Built on the Peugeot Boxer chassis with Euro 6 safety features.
- Flexible sleeping options including drop-down and twin bed layouts.
- Grade 3 insulation for year-round thermal performance.
- Generous 550kg payload on a 3500kg MTPLM chassis.
Worth knowing: The narrower body width may result in a more compact washroom area. Payload can be reduced when multiple optional extras are fitted for family use. Automatic transmission availability is limited on the standard Peugeot manual gearbox.
Buying a Chausson Etape: What you need to know.
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a nimble vehicle for navigating tight country lanes and coastal roads.
- Small families requiring flexible sleeping arrangements within a 3500kg weight limit.
- Year-round tourers who benefit from Grade 3 insulation standards.
Reasons to consider it
- The 2.15m width makes it significantly easier to park and drive than standard-width motorhomes.
- High specification-to-price ratio with modern interior aesthetics and modular furniture.
- The Smart-Lounge configuration provides a spacious feel despite the narrower exterior.
What to check
- Confirm the specific layout, as options include Transverse, Twin, or Drop-down beds.
- Inspect the garage space to ensure it meets your specific outdoor gear requirements.
- Check the weight of any fitted accessories against the 550kg payload limit.
Worth knowing: Check the specific gearbox fitted, as the Peugeot manual is the standard configuration. Verify the remaining duration of the 7-year water ingress warranty on used models.
Compare the Chausson Etape with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chausson Etape | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £58,000 to £76,000 |
| Coachman Travel Master | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.90 m | £60,000 to £100,000 |
| Bailey Adamo 69 4 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.98 m | £58,000 to £76,000 |
The Chausson Etape occupies a specific niche for buyers prioritising a slim 2.15m exterior width without sacrificing the 6.99m length common in larger coachbuilts. While alternatives like the Bailey Adamo 69 4 or Auto-Trail F Line F68 offer similar 3500kg MTPLM weights and 4 berth capacities, the Etape distinguishes itself with its Peugeot Boxer foundation and specific French design elements like the Smart-Lounge. Choosing between these models often depends on a preference for the Etape's narrower profile versus the slightly wider interiors of its competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and maintenance tips.
- Utilise the 'easy-access' garage for heavy items to maintain a stable centre of gravity.
- Regularly check the seals to maintain the 7-year water ingress warranty.
- Make use of the modular furniture to transition the Smart-Lounge from day to night mode efficiently.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 550kg payload when travelling with 4 people and full water tanks.
- Assuming all models have automatic gearboxes, as the Peugeot Boxer is typically manual.
Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM means it can be driven on a standard UK car licence, but payload must be monitored. The 2.8m height requires awareness of low bridges and height-restricted car parks.
