Buying new isn’t simply about having the latest model year on the drive.

Choosing a new leisure vehicle gives you the opportunity to find a specification and layout that closely matches the way you actually plan to use it. For some buyers, that means plenty of storage for longer European tours. For others, a compact campervan that’s comfortable on spontaneous weekends away will be more important.

If you’re comparing 2027 motorhomes with previous model years, there are several things worth considering.

More choice when ordering

Looking early in the season means you can compare newly released ranges alongside vehicles already available from stock. If you have an exact layout, sleeping arrangement or brand in mind, discussing incoming vehicles before they arrive can widen your options considerably.

The latest ranges and specifications

A new model year can bring anything from updated interior styling to changes in equipment, technology or the range itself. There are also completely new additions for 2027, giving buyers options that simply weren’t available in previous seasons.

A vehicle configured around your touring style

A couple touring for several weeks at a time will have very different priorities from a family needing four travelling seats, while someone who regularly explores cities and smaller villages may put manoeuvrability much higher on their list.

That is why layout, berths, travelling seats, storage, vehicle size and intended use should all be considered alongside brand and budget.

With so much choice, comparing new models online can quickly become overwhelming. One of the advantages of shopping with Lowdhams is being able to explore different types, brands and layouts together rather than viewing each model in isolation.

Lowdhams has been helping customers choose motorhomes, campervans and caravans since 1966 from its Nottingham base. If you’re searching for new motorhomes in Nottingham, visiting Lowdhams gives you the opportunity to compare different approaches to touring.

A specification sheet can tell you how many people a vehicle sleeps or which bed layout it uses, but physically stepping inside can change your shortlist completely.

Consider:

• Can you move comfortably through the living area?
• Does the kitchen provide enough usable space?
• Is the washroom right for how you’ll tour?
• Can you comfortably get in and out of the bed?
• Is there enough storage for your usual equipment?
• Are there enough travelling seats as well as berths?
• Would you be happy spending several weeks in the vehicle?

Comparing several vehicles can make those compromises much clearer.

The UK’s first Swift Super Centre

Swift is an especially important part of the Lowdhams line-up. Lowdhams describes itself as the UK’s first and only Swift Super Centre, covering Swift motorhomes, campervans and caravans.

That makes the dealership particularly useful for buyers researching Swift motorhomes for 2027, but the offering extends beyond Swift with multiple manufacturers represented across its new leisure vehicle stock.

Part exchange your existing leisure vehicle

Already own a motorhome, campervan or caravan?

Lowdhams accepts motorhomes, campervans and caravans in part exchange against new or used leisure vehicles. That means upgrading doesn’t necessarily have to involve separately advertising and selling your current vehicle before you can move on to your 2027 model.

Support after you’ve bought

Choosing the right vehicle is only the beginning of ownership. New leisure vehicles sold by Lowdhams are supplied with manufacturer warranty cover, although the precise cover differs according to manufacturer and vehicle type. Buyers also receive complimentary My Lowdhams membership with benefits including discounted servicing and accessories.

The 2027 season includes some important additions to the motorhome line-up, from compact touring options to larger low-profile models. Here are several of the ranges to have on your radar.

New Ace Supreme Motorhomes for 2027

One of the significant additions for 2027 is the Ace Supreme motorhome range.

The Supreme is a Ford Transit-based, low-profile range designed to provide plenty of comfort and equipment, while offering buyers a number of different sleeping and living arrangements.

The range includes the Supreme DB, ET, EW and SL, with two- and four-berth options available across the wider range. Features highlighted by Lowdhams include a 100Ah lithium leisure battery, Truma CombiNeo heating and hot water, rear garage provision, a reversing camera, and kitchen equipment including an oven, grill and three-burner hob.

Individual 2027 Supreme models are already listed as available to order. For example, the Supreme SL is listed as a two-berth, two-seat low-profile motorhome with fixed single beds.

Best suited to: Buyers looking for a well-equipped conventional motorhome with a choice of layouts and an emphasis on comfortable touring.

Dethleffs Just Van Motorhomes

If you like the manoeuvrability associated with a smaller touring vehicle but don’t want to give up the facilities of a motorhome, the Dethleffs Just Van deserves a place on the shortlist.

At 2.20m wide, the Just Van places an emphasis on compact dimensions and easier handling, while its interior retains the living facilities expected from a fully equipped motorhome. Lowdhams lists three layouts in the range. Based on the Fiat Ducato, it includes a kitchen, 131-litre compressor fridge, storage and diesel heating, with winterisation as standard.

It could therefore be particularly appealing if you want something less imposing on the road without making the step down to a full campervan.

Best suited to: Couples and smaller touring parties looking for a compact motorhome that bridges the gap between campervan practicality and motorhome comfort.

Sunlight Unlimited Motorhomes for 2027

The Sunlight Unlimited, also shown as UNLTD, is designed around an active approach to touring. These low-profile motorhomes place a strong emphasis on useful storage and flexible living space, making them particularly interesting if holidays involve bikes, outdoor equipment or longer periods on the road. Four Ford-based layouts are listed by Lowdhams: T 7003S, T 7033P, T 7433Q and T 7433S.

Those layouts provide some useful variety. Current 2027 listings include fixed-single-bed, fixed-island-bed and end-washroom arrangements, with models available to order. That makes Unlimited one of the more flexible 2027 ranges to explore if your choice will ultimately come down to bedroom and washroom layout.

Best suited to: Active tourers looking for a modern low-profile motorhome with a strong focus on storage and different layout choices.

For many people, the appeal of a campervan is simple: maximum freedom in a smaller package.

If you’re moving down from a larger motorhome, upgrading from a car-and-tent setup or want a leisure vehicle that’s easier to use for shorter trips, the 2027 campervan line-up provides some particularly interesting options.

Dethleffs Active Plus Campervans

The Dethleffs Active Plus joins the 2027 selection and adds another option for customers exploring compact touring.

For buyers comparing campervans, we recommend considering the Active Plus alongside other Dethleffs options based not only on equipment, but also on how the layout works for your typical trip.

Think about how frequently you will cook inside, how much kit you normally take, and whether most trips will be short breaks or longer tours.

Hymer Redwood Campervans

The Hymer Redwood is another new campervan option to look out for in the 2027 range available through Lowdhams. As with any campervan, the real test should be how successfully its dimensions and layout work for your travelling style. If you’re considering a Redwood, speak to the Lowdhams team about incoming availability and compare it with the other Hymer campervan ranges below.

Hymer Yellowstone Campervans

Also joining the 2027 selection is the Hymer Yellowstone. It provides another route for customers who know they want the practicality of a campervan but want to compare several layouts and ranges before deciding.

For anyone considering several Hymer models, we’d recommend viewing them side by side where possible and paying particular attention to bed configuration, storage, kitchen space and how easily you can use the living area.

Hymer Grand Canyon S Campervans

The Hymer Grand Canyon S is another campervan to consider for 2027. Rather than choosing according to the specification sheet alone, think about where your campervan needs to take you. Buyers planning longer tours may prioritise comfort, storage and onboard facilities differently from someone primarily using a campervan for spontaneous two or three-night breaks.

Sunlight Cliff Xtra Campervans

For buyers drawn towards compact, flexible touring, the Sunlight Cliff Xtra is another 2027 range worth considering. It sits within a growing selection of Sunlight options at Lowdhams, allowing customers to compare the brand’s campervan offering with its larger motorhomes.

Sunlight IBEX Campervans

Another addition is the Sunlight IBEX campervan. If you’re deciding between the IBEX and other Sunlight ranges, focus on what you genuinely need from the space rather than simply choosing the longest equipment list.

The right campervan should make the things you do most often easy, whether that’s carrying outdoor kit, preparing meals, travelling as a couple or heading away regularly for quick overnight stops.

Swift Merlin Xtra: A New Campervan for 2027

For Swift buyers, one of the standout additions to the 2027 season is the Swift Merlin Xtra. The Merlin Xtra is particularly noteworthy because it is a special-edition campervan developed by Lowdhams in partnership with Swift and based on the new Swift Merlin range.

Current Lowdhams listings show 2027 Merlin Xtra models available to order. For example, the Merlin Xtra 212 is a four-berth, four-seat campervan with an end lounge and automatic transmission. Its Xtra specification adds equipment including full LED headlights, an awning, black alloy wheels, Wi-Fi and external shower and gas points.

There’s an important distinction here for shoppers: the Merlin is the underlying Swift range, while Merlin Xtra is the Lowdhams-exclusive special edition.

If you’re specifically researching Swift campervans for 2027, it should therefore be high on the comparison list.

There’s plenty to explore for customers specifically searching for Swift motorhomes 2027 too. The current Lowdhams Swift range includes motorhome lines such as Hi-Style Xtra, Voyager Xtra, Trekker, Escape and Kon-Tiki, alongside Swift campervans and caravans.

For the 2027 season, Lowdhams has highlighted the return of its Hi-Style Xtra and Voyager Xtra special-edition motorhomes, as well as the 2027 Trekker. Because Lowdhams is the UK’s first Swift Super Centre, it’s also a useful starting point if you haven’t decided exactly which Swift range is right for you.

The new-season choice isn’t limited to motorhomes and campervans. Lowdhams is also listing 2027 caravans for customers who prefer a touring caravan and the freedom of leaving their accommodation pitched while using their tow car independently.

Current 2027 listings include Swift Conqueror models and a selection of Eriba Touring caravans. For example, the Swift Conqueror 565 is listed as a 2027 four-berth with fixed single beds, while the available Eriba Touring line-up includes models such as the 310, 542, 620, 630 and 642.

For existing caravanners, the new season could be an opportunity to change layout, gain more space or move to a different style of touring. For motorhome buyers who aren’t completely convinced they need a self-propelled leisure vehicle, it’s also worth comparing the two before making a final decision.

The number of ranges can make the decision feel complicated, but you can quickly narrow your options by starting with how you intend to travel. A motorhome may make more sense when you want generous onboard living facilities and expect the vehicle itself to be at the heart of your touring holidays. Depending on the model, you’ll find everything from compact two-berth layouts to larger vehicles suitable for families and longer touring. Start by comparing:

• Number of berths
• Number of travelling seats
• Fixed versus convertible beds
• Washroom arrangement
• Kitchen space
• Storage and garage capacity
• Vehicle length and width

A campervan can make sense if compact dimensions and flexibility sit near the top of your list. Look beyond overall size, though. Campervan layouts can use their available space very differently, so pay particular attention to how much usable living and storage space you’ll have once everyone’s belongings are on board.

A caravan remains a strong option if you like establishing a base at a campsite and then having a separate car available for exploring. Your choice will also be influenced by your tow car and the type of pitching and touring you plan to do, so these considerations should form part of the buying process from the beginning.

After deciding on a vehicle type, layout should be one of the biggest influences on your shortlist.

Fixed single beds

Popular with couples who want easy access to their own sleeping space, fixed single beds can remove the need to make up a bed every night. Current 2027 vehicles listed by Lowdhams with fixed single beds include models from Ace Supreme and Sunlight Unlimited.

Fixed island beds

An island bed can be appealing if bedroom comfort and access from either side matter to you. The 2027 Sunlight UNLTD T 7433Q, for example, is currently listed with a fixed island bed.

End washroom

An end washroom puts more emphasis on bathroom space and separation from the main living area. This can work especially well for couples who value spacious washing and changing facilities. Current 2027 listings include end-washroom options in both the Ace Supreme and Sunlight Unlimited ranges.

End lounge

An end lounge can create a sociable space for relaxing during the day, often making it particularly attractive for buyers who spend plenty of time inside their vehicle.

It’s worth sitting in each layout and imagining a normal day on tour. Where would you eat breakfast? Where will wet coats go? Can one person cook while another relaxes? Where will you store walking boots, outdoor chairs or bikes?

You can find our complete range on our website, or speak to our team about incoming 2027 vehicles, models currently available to order, part exchange and available finance options. You can also visit our showroom to look around the vehicles in person and get a better idea of their layouts and features.

From all-new ranges such as the Ace Supreme to compact Dethleffs models, adventurous Sunlight options and the exclusive Swift Merlin Xtra, the 2027 season offers plenty to consider. That is why it is worth starting with the way you want to travel rather than a particular badge.

Make a list of your non-negotiables. Decide how many people need to sleep and travel safely. Think about the journeys you’re likely to make, what you’ll carry and how much time you’ll spend inside your vehicle. Then compare the models that fulfil those requirements.

With new 2027 models already appearing and others available to order, now is a good time to start creating your shortlist.
