Ace was a British motorhome and caravan brand originally known for offering good value and solid build quality. After being acquired by the Swift Group in the early 2000s, Ace produced a range of mid-market motorhomes that combined practicality with comfort. Although the brand ceased production around 2009, its models remain popular on the used market for their reliability and clever use of space.

The Ace Capri is a compact, low-profile motorhome built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, designed for couples seeking comfort in a smaller package. At around 5.6 metres long, it’s easy to manoeuvre and park while still offering a well-equipped interior. The layout features a spacious front lounge that converts into a double bed, a central kitchen, and a compact rear washroom. The kitchen includes a 3- or 4-burner hob, oven, grill, and a mid-size fridge. The washroom offers a swivel toilet, basin, and shower facility. Ideal for two travellers who value a nimble motorhome with good comfort levels.

Pros:

✔️ Compact Size:
At just over 5.5 metres, the Capri is easy to drive, park, and store — perfect for narrow roads and smaller campsites.

✔️ Well-Built Interior:
High-quality cabinetry and durable upholstery give the interior a solid, homely feel that has stood the test of time.

✔️ Good Kitchen Facilities:
Despite its size, it includes a full oven, grill, hob, and a decently sized fridge, offering flexibility for longer trips.

✔️ Lightweight and Economical:
With an MTPLM of around 3000 kg, it’s lighter than many larger models, contributing to better fuel efficiency and lower running costs.

Cons:

➖ Limited Worktop Space:
Kitchen work surfaces are quite small, making food preparation a bit cramped.

➖ Compact Washroom:
The shower and toilet area can feel tight, with minimal storage and limited natural light.

➖ Bed Setup:
The lounge converts into a double bed, which can block access to the rest of the living area once made up.

➖ Payload Restrictions:
Depending on the model year, available payload can be limited — important to consider if carrying lots of gear.
