Nu Venture is a small British builder specialising in ultra-compact coachbuilt motorhomes. Based in Wigan, the company focuses on vehicles that are closer to car size than traditional motorhomes, prioritising easy driving, parking, and everyday usability.
The Nu Venture Compact is typically a 2-berth motorhome built on small van chassis such as the Vauxhall Combo. At roughly 4.3 m long, it’s one of the smallest true motorhomes available, yet still includes a kitchenette, convertible bed, and compact washroom. It’s ideal for solo travellers or couples who want maximum mobility
Pros
✔️ Extremely Compact & Easy to Drive
Often under 5 m long — similar to a large car — making town driving, rural lanes, and parking far easier than full-size motorhomes.
✔️ Can Park Almost Anywhere
Some versions are narrow enough for normal parking bays and low-stress everyday use.
✔️ Full Motorhome Facilities in a Tiny Space
Despite the size, many include a hob, fridge, sink, water tank, toilet compartment, and heating.
✔️ Fuel Efficient & Car-Like Driving
Built on small van platforms, giving better economy and handling than large coachbuilt vans.
✔️ Ideal for Solo Travellers or Couples
Perfect for spontaneous trips, weekends away, or touring where manoeuvrability matters most.
✔️ Lower Running Costs
Insurance, servicing, and ferry costs are typically cheaper than larger motorhomes.
Cons
➖ Very Limited Living Space
Interior room is tight — not ideal for long stays in bad weather.
➖ Convertible Bed Only
Sleeping usually requires making up the lounge each night.
➖ Compact Washroom
Toilet facilities are small; some models lack a proper shower.
➖ Minimal Storage
Little space for bulky gear like bikes or outdoor furniture.
➖ Usually Only Two Berths & Seats
Not suitable for families or groups.
