Grimsby-based manufacturer Auto-Trail has a large, loyal following among motorhome enthusiasts.

However, it made a great aesthetic leap forward for the 2011 season by introducing a new, super low-line roof design as a no-cost option to most models in its line-up. And what an improvement it’s made.
