2016 PILOTE GALAXY G650L

Only Hymer can match Pilote’s long history of selling A-class motorhomes in the UK and this Galaxy G650L, with its fabulously spacious front lounge, looks like it was built with UK tastes in mind. But that’s not where the appeal finishes, because at the other end of the ’van is a spacious washroom-cum-changing room with a separate shower, and the kitchen includes a full-sized, lowlevel oven as well as a generous fridge/freezer.

In better-equipped Sensation trim, this French motorhome has covered just over 13k miles and comes with an awning, bike rack, Gaslow refillable cylinder, alarm, tracker, towbar, reversing camera and solar panel. Just add diesel, food and clothes and head off on your grand tour…

If you fancy a living area that’s never been sat in, let alone slept in, this could be for you – a brandnew conversion on a secondhand Peugeot van. It comes with the 130bhp engine, plus a useful selection of extras, including cab air-con, cruise control, leather upholstery, TV aerial, a flyscreen on the sliding door, reversing sensors and satnav. As standard the Sol comes with a 25-litre gas tank, solar panel and twin leisure batteries.

One of our favourite rear lounge campers, the Sol has comfortable U-shaped seating. Its kitchen includes an oven/grill and plenty of worktop – and, here, it’s all shiny and new. Plus, there’s a 12-month warranty on the base vehicle and 24 months’ cover on the conversion.
