    Rear Lounge Motorhomes

    Last updated: 03 September 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    A slim-profile motorhome with a spacious rear lounge.

    The Auto-Trail Excel 690l is a low-profile motorhome measuring 6.92m in length, designed for two to three people. It is distinguished by its 2.24m width, which is narrower than standard coachbuilt models, and a large rear U-shaped lounge that serves as the primary living and sleeping area. Built on a 3500kg chassis, it offers a 450kg payload and is suitable for drivers with a standard UK licence.

    • Rear U-shaped lounge layout providing panoramic views and social space.
    • Low-profile body with a slimmer 2.24m width for easier navigation.
    • Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis with a 2.3L MultiJet engine.
    • Thermal grade 3 insulation and heating for year-round use.
    • Payload of 450kg within a 3500kg MTPLM.

    Worth knowing: The lounge must be converted into a bed manually each night. Kitchen worktop space is restricted when the hob and sink are in use. The washroom is more compact than those found in larger Frontier models.

    Buying an Auto-Trail Excel 690l

    Who it suits

    • • Couples who prioritise a large social lounge over a fixed bed.
    • • Drivers who frequently navigate narrow lanes and prefer a 2.24m body width.
    • • Tourers looking for a 3500kg motorhome with a substantial 450kg payload.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The rear lounge offers a spacious environment for socialising and dining.
    • • Grade 3 thermal insulation makes it a viable option for winter touring.
    • • The 6.92m length and low-profile design balance interior space with road agility.

    What to check

    • • Verify the operation of the bed conversion mechanism in the rear lounge.
    • • Inspect the kitchen area to ensure the 3-burner hob and integrated oven meet your cooking needs.
    • • Check the service history of the Fiat Ducato 2.3L MultiJet engine.

    Worth knowing: Confirm the specific engine output and gearbox type as these can vary by year. Check the condition of the external storage lockers and seals.

    Compare the Auto-Trail Excel 690l with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Auto-Trail Excel 690l33500 kg6.92 m£28,000 to £42,000
    Auto-Trail Excel 690t43500 kg6.99 m£30,000 to £55,000
    Auto-Trail EXCEL 675 B33500 kg6.75 m£62,000 to £78,000

    The Auto-Trail Excel 690l occupies a specific niche for those who want the spaciousness of a U-shaped lounge without the external bulk of a full-width coachbuilt motorhome. While its 2.24m width makes it more agile than many competitors, this comes at the cost of a more compact washroom and the necessity of nightly bed make-up. It remains a practical choice for those who value a high payload and thermal efficiency in a sub-3500kg vehicle.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the external storage lockers for heavy outdoor equipment to keep the interior clear.
    • Monitor the 3500kg MTPLM using a weight checker to ensure legal compliance on a standard licence.
    • Make use of the thermal grade 3 insulation by maintaining the heating system for winter trips.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Overloading the rear lounge storage which may affect the 450kg payload distribution.
    • • Neglecting to check the skylight seals, which are a key source of natural light.

    Worth knowing: Always verify the exact MTPLM on the vehicle plate before loading. Ensure the 3-burner hob is fully cooled before replacing any glass covers.
