The best 4 berth motorhomes are going to offer a layout which provides enough room and comfortable sleeping arrangements for all four of you all the time. However, if you are shopping for a 4 berth ‘van, you’ll find a huge selection of makes, models and layouts for you to choose from. The Practical Motorhome Awards 2025 are here to help you narrow down your search.
A four berth motorhome can differ from the best family motorhomes as the latter can have anywhere from four to six berths. It’s a similar story with the best motorhomes for couples, which can vary from two to four berths too. A four berth can still be a great choice for couples who are looking for a bit of extra space when they tour though, providing the flexibility of having room for guests. They can also be ideal for families who only want four berths as well.
Swift has retained its crown as the manufacturer of the best 4 berth motorhome, with the Trekker 540 taking the title that was won by the Voyager 510 last year. Our judges have been impressed by the Trekker’s smart, rugged looks, the high spec and the comfy interior it provides. Here, you can see what we made of it, as well as our other highly commended options, as well as our top picks from recent years.
Whether you want something compact and easy to manoeuvre, or the ultimate in luxury and spaciousness, there’s a four berth motorhome on this list that could be ideal for you.

The best 4 berth motorhome at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
Visit any motorhome show these days and might well come across a relatively new start-up offering you the perfect off-road getaway van for four of you – but it could well be at an eye-watering cost. Well, the Trekker 540 is the perfect such van set at a realistic price, and it’s produced by a company with a long-standing reputation, too.
Built on a Ford Trail body with a rugged exterior, it should be ideal for treks along unmetalled roads and even the odd grassy stretch. Yet inside you have a comfy space with a parallel settee lounge beneath a generous drop–down bed, and most of all a spacious washroom at the rear complete with a huge wardrobe. So when you are roughing it on the outside, there’s no need to rough it on the inside.
The high specification means you’ll get all the kit you could want for adventurous tours, too, including Truma CombiNeo water- and space heating, a 110 litre fresh water tank with heaters, a 120W solar panel, a reversing camera and more.
Adria Matrix 670 SL 60 Year Edition
- Base vehicle: Fiat Ducato
- Price: From £89,945
- Berths: 4
- Belts: 3 (4 with 3650kg MTPLM)
- MTPLM: 3500kg (3650kg optional)
- MIRO: 3249kg
- Payload: 265kg (401kg with 3650kg MTPLM)
- Length: 7.49m
- Width: 2.30m
Reason to buy:
- A practical layout that now features welcome extra goodies
Reason to avoid:
- You’ll need to upgrade to a 3650kg MTPLM to travel four-up
Highly commended at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
There aren’t many leisure vehicle manufacturers that can boast that they’ve reached the grand old age of 60, but Adria is one – and it’s celebrated its six decades with the launch of special anniversary models based on three of its top sellers.
The four-berth Matrix 670 SL is one, and the 60 Year Edition has been given a set of special birthday goodies, including alloy wheels, an awning, a panoramic window, exclusive soft furnishings, a wood-effect table, an EvoPore mattress on the fixed single beds and more – there’s even a special anniversary chopping board.
If that’s not enough to tempt you, then the layout itself should do the trick: it includes an airy, bright lounge, wide and comfortable fixed single beds, an electrically operated drop-down bed over the front sofas and a smart washroom. If you’re planning to travel four up, note that you’ll need to go for the upgraded MTPLM of 3650kg, which allows for a fourth belted seat; this also helps to increase the payload, which is otherwise slim.

Elddis Autoquest Apex 194
- Base vehicle: Fiat Ducato
- Price: £78,695
- Berths: 4
- Belts: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MIRO: 3161kg
- Payload: 339kg
- Length: 7.37m
- Width: 2.67m
Reason to buy:
- A funky new look for 2026
Reason to avoid:
- Payload is only average
Highly commended at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
There’s been a fair amount of name and spec changes at Elddis this season. But the layouts have stayed much the same – and we reckon that’s a good thing.
This model is essentially the old Autoquest 194 layout, which we loved chiefly because of its floorplan: it has a pair of comfortable fixed single beds at the back, which sit high over a garage – the latter of which is ideal for storing all of the kit that four people might want to take with them
The new-look 194 does come with some great new spec, and the standard list includes an awning, an alarm and tracker, a microwave, a dual-fuel hob, external blinds, a winter pack and more. The Apex range is based on Fiat Ducato rather than a Peugeot Boxer (so you could opt for Fiat’s great automatic gearbox if you would prefer to), and it has a daring and attractive new look that includes practical and hardwearing charcoal-coloured upholstery.
Swift Voyager 510
- Base vehicle: Ford Transit
- Year: 2025
- Berths: 4
- Belts: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MIRO: 2860kg
- Payload: 640kg
- Length: 6.19m
- Width: 2.37m
Reason to buy:
- Great design from a British manufacturer.
Reason to avoid:
- It’s not a flat floor inside – there’s quite a step up to that washroom.
For a company that only just a few years ago was an all-Fiat manufacturer, Swift’s Ford Transit-based Voyager low profile range seems to have done remarkably well on the forecourts.
This model (our pick for the best 4 berth motorhome at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2025) introduced a layout that is becoming increasingly popular, with an end washroom, and extra berths provided by a drop-down bed, but still coming in at significantly less than 7m. In fact, the 510 is just 6.19m long.
Yet it still manages to include a comfortable lounge with parallel seating and a pedestal table that rises and falls electronically. Having all the beds up here then leaves space for a very generous washroom too, traits which can all be important when looking for the best motorhome.
Its sister model the 505 is identical in every respect except that it doesn’t have foldaway travel seats in the rear. This would leave you with extra storage space, but there is so much of it in here anyway we think you wouldn’t want to miss the convenience of those extra seats (with Isofix fittings).
McLouis Fusion 373
- Base vehicle: Fiat Ducato
- Year: 2025
- Berths: 4
- Belts: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MIRO: 3072kg
- Payload: 428kg
- Length: 7.45m
- Width: 2.33m
Reason to buy:
- A comfortable family van for less than £80,000.
Reason to avoid:
- Storage space is heavily weighted towards the rear.
The McLouis Fusion range is a collaboration between Italian brand McLouise and British brand Auto-Sleepers – both part of the Trigano Group. The range was designed to tempt people in who might possibly want to upgrade to Auto Sleepers at a later date. But we think with quality as good as this McLouis Fusion should stand up as a brand worth having in its own right.
The 373 includes two fixed singles at the back which are both 2m long, and can also be turned into a huge and luxurious double. The drop-down bed should satisfy the two remaining passengers, doesn’t block the door, and could possibly be used even with people still using the lounge underneath.
The kitchen is perfectly adequate, if no more than that, and you get a large garage too.

Swift Voyager 494
- Year: 2024
- Berths: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MiRO: 3088kg
- Payload: 412kg
- Length: 7.54m
- Width: 2.37m
Reasons to buy:
- A four-berth that still feels right for just the two of you too
Reasons to avoid:
- You don’t get a washroom spread across the middle
Our whole team were big fans of Swift’s Voyager 5 range when it was launched for 2023, so much so that the Swift Voyager 584 took the trophy for best low-profile motorhome in our Awards last year.
So it will come as no surprise to see one of the Cottingham-based company’s all-new 4-series Voyagers picking up another gong this year. The Ford Transit-based 4-series models take all that’s great about the Voyager 5 line-up and add the practicality of an overcab bed in the Luton – perfect for additional sleeping or even extra storage space.
Here, we’ve gone for the accommodating island-bed floorplan of the four-berth 494 model: it also has a very spacious washroom and side kitchen for plenty of comfort on tour. Add to that the fact that all Voyagers now get a host of extra kit – including external BBQ and shower points, and concertina cab blinds – and have a price tag that’s great value for money, and it’s clear Swift has another winner on its hands.
It’s not the only model from the Voyager 4 series to win an Award either – the 475 was picked out as the best family motorhome by our judging panel too.
Adria Supersonic 780DC
- Year: 2023
- MTPLM: 4500kg
- MiRO: 3520kg
- Payload: 980kg
- Length: 7.8m
- Width: 2.32m
Reason to buy:
- Great spec throughout
Reason to avoid:
- Dark interior theme, no oven or microwave
A modern interior and an excellent spec make this A-class a highly appealing four-berth motorhome. It’s the first time Adria has launched a Mercedes-based range in over 10 years, and the results are impressive.
Inside, a double floor makes it flat throughout, while two parallel settees sit on either side of a rotating table in an interior that has a dark theme, due to the grey floors and dark wood finish.
The side wall kitchen doesn’t boast the most workspace, but what there is has been usefully optimised. As a Continental ‘van, there is no oven or microwave fitted, but a three-burner gas hob and a grill are provided, as is a Dometic two-way opening fridge.
We’re huge fans of the rear bedroom, where you can set up either the daybed or bed at the flick of a switch. It’s a relaxing space, with the option of a TV and the inclusion of nearby USB ports. The other bed is a comfortable dropdown that sits above the cab.
The rear garage, the inclusion of four large drawers and two good overhead lockers in the kitchen are just some of the storage options provided.

Auto-Trail Grand Frontier GF88
- Year: 2021
- Berths: 4
- MTPLM: 5000kg
- MiRO: 4000kg
- Payload: 1000kg
- Length: 8.79m
- Width: 2.35m
Reason to buy:
- Comfortable lounge
Reason to avoid:
- No day bed function
Understated style and a supremely comfortable lounge proved a winning formula for the GF88 at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2022. The well-lit lounge has a Heki rooflight, big windows, four spotlights, striplights under the lockers and plenty of ambient lighting.
There’s a large island bed in the well-lit bedroom, while we thought the dropdown bed was also generous and comfortable.
The GF88 sits on an Al-Ko chassis with a Fiat Ducato cab, but unlike many Continental ’vans, you can access the driver’s seat via a door on the ‘correct’ side. Rear belted seats to match the number of berths are a cost option.

Swift Edge 494
- Year: 2020
- Berths: 4
- Travel seats: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- Payload: 525kg
- Length: 7.32m
- Width: 2.39m
Reason to buy:
- Island bed, reasonable payload, plenty of storage space
Reason to avoid:
- The price options could add up
The ‘van which was our winner of the best budget motorhome category in 2020 is a cleverly designed starter ‘van, perfect for first timers after a four-berth motorhome. With an island bed at the rear and an overcab bed at the front, it sleeps four comfortably, but would also work well for couples that may want to use that overcab area for extra storage.
While it may not have high-end finishes, this entry-level ‘van has plenty of kit, including a Truma Combi heating system, an oven and grill, air con in the cab, Duvalay mattresses and more. We think the whole motorhome feels classy and more luxurious too, plus there’s a reasonable payload of 525kg to utilise as well.

Rapido M96
- Year: 2020
- Berths: 4
- Travel seats: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- Length: 7.54m
- Width: 2.35m
Reason to buy:
- Feeling of space, design innovation, a number of options and upgrades
Reason to avoid:
- Basin a little shallow in the washroom, shower has just one, small, plug hole
This four berth motorhome is ideal for fans of A-class motorhomes. It has plenty of attractive features for those with a healthy budget, and, when its 2020 edition came with a long list of optional extras that could be used to create your ideal motorhome.
It impressed our Motorhome of the Year Awards 2020 judges so much that it scooped the award for best motorhome for innovation.
Based on the Mercedes Sprinter, this ‘van has a large rear island bed and a drop-down double over the lounge area. The central kitchen is well-equipped and we like how its L-shaped design allows it to make an efficient use of space, and the washroom, across the centre of the ‘van, should be plenty large enough. In here, you can find an offside shower cubicle and a nearside toilet room. While we’d like to have seen a deeper basin and there’s only a single plug hole in the shower, it still exemplifies the quality that is seen throughout.

Chausson 520
- Year: 2020
- Berths: 4
- Travel seats: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- Length: 5.99
Reason to buy:
- Clever use of space in a sub-6m’van, high-spec washroom
Reason to avoid:
- Storage is less plentiful than other ‘vans in the range
This low-profile offering from Chausson scooped our best small motorhome award at the 2020 Motorhome of the Year Awards. It has taken the hugely popular Maxi Lounge layout and put it into a compact, easy to manoeuvre, sub-6m ‘van.
It offers a layout that feels spacious, and includes a comfortable lounge, a luxurious washroom, a comfortable fixed bed and some thoughtful design touches. The only thing perhaps missing is the large garage that the three other Maxi Lounge models boast. However, we like how it provides a real sense of space throughout – in fact, at the time, we thought this was the type of lounge space that would be ideal for spending an afternoon in on a rainy day.

Mobilvetta Kea P65
- Year: 2020
- Berths: 4
- Travel seats: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- Length: 7.38m
- Width: 2.35m
Reason to buy:
- Lots of storage space, UK-friendly, plenty of kit as standard
Reason to avoid:
- Not much payload to play with
The combination of continental good looks and UK-friendly touches make this an attractive proposition for those looking for a comfortable 4 berth motorhome. This particular model has twin single beds at the rear, an L-shaped kitchen and a fairly well-equipped offside washroom.
While there’s plenty of storage lockers and a rear garage (complete with mains socket and lighting), you’ll need to be very careful to stick within the 270kg payload.
If you’re looking for a pre-owned ‘van which is highly versatile, with attractive styling and a powerful 160bhp engine, this could be a four berth motorhome to consider.

How we choose the best four berth motorhomes
When we’re compiling the ‘vans that make it onto our list, we consider factors such as the value it offers, the space it provides, the ease of putting the extra beds together and more.
Since Practical Motorhome launched in 2001, we’ve been regularly putting ‘vans to the test. Many of these are in our motorhome reviews section. We make sure every test is fair, highlighting the pros and cons of each one. You can find out more about our testing process on our About Us page.
As well as this, our Owner Satisfaction Survey offers us further insight, as our readers let us know how they’ve got on when buying a ‘van.
Pooling this together puts us in a strong position to draw up our shortlist.
In our best 4 berth motorhome guide, we’ll highlight what it is that’s made each ‘van worthy of being included in our list.
