Explore endless possibilities with Chausson's new motorhomes, available now at our Kent showroom. These innovative and versatile vehicles cater to every travel style, offering a seamless blend of comfort, convenience, and style. Whether you're dreaming of a weekend escape or an epic cross-country adventure, Chausson has the perfect motorhome for you.

Tailored to Your Needs:

Chausson offers a diverse range of models to suit any group size and preference. From manoeuvrable options ideal for couples and solo travellers to a more spacious family-friendly layout, there's a Chausson motorhome that perfectly complements your travel style.

Comfort on the Road:

Experience the comforts of home wherever you roam with Chausson's thoughtfully designed interiors. From fully equipped kitchens and luxurious sleeping quarters to modern entertainment systems and spacious bathrooms, every detail is meticulously considered for an enjoyable and relaxing journey.

Discover Your Chausson:

Chausson's extensive lineup ensures you will find the ideal match for your needs:

Low Profile: Offering a variety of layouts and features like drop-down beds, island beds, and garages, the Low-Profile series caters to diverse traveller demands. All Sport-Line and Titanium Ultimate models boast automatic transmission for a more relaxed driving experience.

Slim Line Low Profile: Ideal for those seeking a compact design, the Slim Line Low Profile offers manoeuvrability without compromising comfort. The S 514 features an adjustable bed, while the S 697 GA prioritizes storage with large beds above a spacious bike garage. Both models come with a modern makeover, including a panoramic sunroof, touchscreen infotainment system, and enhanced safety features.

X Exclusive Line: Redefining the boundaries between vans and motorhomes, the X Exclusive Line merges van-like agility with the comfort of a low-profile motorhome. This innovative design is ideal for those who crave practicality and on-the-road comfort. The X's compact exterior allows for effortless navigation, while the surprisingly spacious interior creates a comfortable home base for your adventures. New for 2024 is the award winning X650 with its new SDR (Smart Dressing Room) system, which lets you raise or lower the wardrobe to adjust the size of the garage area according to your needs.

Vans: Capitalizing on the van conversion trend, Chausson's SportLine vans provide a perfect blend of size and functionality. Their compact design ensures easy manoeuvring, while modern space-saving features maximize interior space. Additionally, the powerful 140 BHP engine and automatic gearbox offer a comfortable driving experience. The SportLine is also compatible with modern awnings and drive-away safari rooms for an expandable living space.

Choosing the Right Chausson:

The number of travellers and your preferred sleeping arrangements are key factors. Some models offer fixed beds in a dedicated rear bedroom, while others feature convertible sleeping spaces.

Traveling Solo or as a Couple?

Consider the Slim Line Low Profile, Exclusive Line, or Van SportLine for a manoeuvrable and comfortable experience.

Traveling with a Larger Group?

Opt for a motorhome with a separate sleeping area, like the Chausson 777 GA with twin beds, the 788 with a spacious rear island bed, or the 720 with an adjustable bunk bed for children.

Couples Seeking Extra Living Space?

The Chausson 640 offers a spacious layout with a drop-down bed above the lounge that converts into a double bunk bed if needed.

Key Considerations When Buying a Motorhome:

Here are some crucial aspects to consider when selecting your new motorhome:

• Amenities and Appliances: Determine the amenities you require, such as a fully equipped kitchen, entertainment system, heating, external gas and shower points, and air conditioning.
• Size and Layout: Consider the number of travellers, desired living space, and sleeping arrangements.
• Bathroom Facilities: Decide if a separate shower or a compact wet room best suits your needs.
• Kitchen and Dining Area: Evaluate the size and functionality of the kitchen and dining area based on your cooking and dining preferences.
• Living Space: Assess the overall living space for comfort and ease of movement.
• Storage Space: Ensure adequate storage capacity for your belongings and camping equipment.
• Maneuverability and Driving Comfort: Choose a motorhome size that aligns with your driving abilities and comfort level.
• Fuel Efficiency and Performance: Combining efficiency and clean driving, Chausson motorhomes feature Euro 6 engines, some of the most advanced on the market today. These engines meet the strictest emission standards throughout the UK and Europe, ensuring a greener journey for you.
• Safety Features: Look for essential safety features like airbags, anti-lock braking systems, and stability control.

Hymercar Ayers Rock Handover

David & Yvonne, like many of our customers, found that finding the right vehicle at the right price, from a dealership with a proven track record, isn't always easy. Sometimes, travel is necessary.

David and Yvonne, from Northampton, did just that! They found their ideal campervan, a Hymercar Ayers Rock, at TC Motorhomes in Herne Bay, Kent.

The Hymercar's overall size and elevating roof provide the flexibility and mobility they desired, something larger, less compact motorhomes lack.

Shane Catterick and his colleagues at TC Motorhomes thank David and Yvonne for their trust in making the journey. A short video presentation of the vehicle convinced them of two things: (A) this was the right campervan, and (B) this was the right dealership.

Shane, Peter Eddington (who completed the handover process), and Sabbie (Digital Marketing Manager at TC’s and Dog Lover)  would all like to wish Lynne and Cliff their very best wishes for their impending travels, which are likely to include at some time over the summer a trip to the Italian lake of Maggiore !

Chausson 640 First Line, Titanium Ultimate and Luxury Edition

What's the Difference Between Chausson 640 First Line, Titanium Ultimate, and Luxury Edition Motorhomes?

Chausson 640 First Line

The Chausson 640 First Line is the entry-level model in the Chausson 640 range. This 4-berth motorhome is 7 meters long and comes equipped with the essentials for a comfortable and convenient camping experience.

Standard specifications for the First Line include the "Smart-Lounge" with a drop-down double bed above the lounge. This lounge also features hidden belted seats with ISO-Fix points for child car seats.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a sink, hob with 1 electric plate and 2 gas burners, a Thetford oven with grill, and a large "tall boy" fridge with a separate freezer compartment.

There's a full-width washroom with a separate shower, a large garage with 3 entry points and is accessible from within the motorhome, a 140-watt solar panel with an extra leisure battery, and a Thule wind-out awning.

The First Line features a smaller 130 BHP engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and a standard DAB/MP3/Bluetooth radio.

 

Chausson 640 Titanium Ultimate

The Chausson 640 Titanium Ultimate builds upon the First Line model with additional features. It boasts a larger 170 BHP engine with an automatic transmission for a smoother ride.

• Additional features of the Titanium Ultimate include:
• 16" alloy wheels
• Cab-coloured bumpers
• Touch screen DAB radio
• Reversing camera
• Sat Nav
• Blackout cab blinds
• Central door locking

We currently have two variations in stock: one with fabric "Anthony" seat coverings and the other with "Prestige Faux Leather" seat coverings.

 

Chausson 640 Luxury Edition (Exclusive to TC Motorhomes)

The Chausson 640 Luxury Edition takes the specifications of the Titanium Ultimate to an even higher level, designed for maximum comfort and convenience.

The Luxury Edition features new, upgraded seat cushions for enhanced comfort, upholstered in "Silver Birch & Seely" Crest leather. The cab has been wrapped in a special Silver Gold finish called "Zinn," which can be customized to a different colour if you prefer.

Built-in 5G Wi-Fi and a 21.9-inch Avtex Smart TV with DVD drive ensure you won't have to worry about entertainment during evenings spent wild camping.

For extra peace of mind, the Luxury Edition comes fully protected with an insurance-approved tracker and alarm system as standard (Tracker subscription applies).

The Luxury Edition also includes Gaslow, a refillable gas system built directly into the motorhome. Unlike standard Calor gas bottles that require removal for replacement, Gaslow can be refilled at most fuel forecourts in the UK. Additionally, Gaslow is the preferred gas refilling method on the continent, making it ideal for those planning to visit mainland Europe with their motorhome.

Additional features of the Chausson 640 Luxury Edition:

• Leather trim
• Upgraded seat cushions
• Wi-Fi
• Alarm and tracker
• Smart TV included
• Gaslow refillable gas system

Peter Eddington (Habitation Engineer at TC Motorhomes) completed a detailed handover of the Chausson motorhome, ensuring that Karen and Tim were fully versed with the workings of all the equipment on-board, including the hot water & heating system, the fridge, the chemical toilet, the Wi-Fi system, the refillable Gas system and the Inverter.

If there is anything that got forgotten, Tim and Karen will be able to call TC’s for a refresher, or indeed the wonderful friendly folk in the Chausson Owners Facebook Group of close on 9000 members, who are often on hand to offer guidance and support.

Shane Catterick from TC’s and his colleague Peter, would like to wish Karen and Tim lots and lots of fun, and many miles of happy motorhoming with their fantastic Chausson 768 Used Motorhome.
