Ace was a British caravan & motorhome brand known for offering mid-market coachbuilt vehicles with good value under the Swift group (produced roughly 2001–2009). The Milano is one of their larger models: overcab coachbuilt, built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, aimed more at families or groups who want more beds and space.
The Ace Milano is a high-roof overcab coachbuilt motorhome — built on a Fiat Ducato base. It typically offers 4-5 berths, with an overcab double bed, a central lounge/dining area that converts to additional beds, a rear kitchen, and a washroom towards the back. Equipped with a 4-ring hob, cooker/grill, sink, fridge/freezer, blown-air heating, dual 12/240V systems, and a variety of storage & comfort features.
Pros:
✔️ More spacious than smaller compact motorhomes — with more sleeping places (over-cab + convertible lounge), more room to stretch, better suited for families or guests.
✔️ Well-equipped kitchen — 4-ring hob, decent fridge/freezer, good rear kitchen layout. Good storage.
✔️ Good utilities & tank capacities — 100 L fresh water, 80 L waste water in many models, blown-air heating etc.
✔️ Versatile layout — lounge/dining area converts, overcab bed gives permanent sleeping, some models have 5 berths.
Cons:
➖ Size & height — at 6.3 m length and over 3 m height in many models, it’s less nimble; parking/clearance can become an issue compared to compact models.
➖ Weight / Payload margins — motorhomes of this size tend to have limited payload once fuel, water, passengers and gear are loaded. Might be tight if heavily laden.
➖ Aging issues / maintenance — as with many older coaches, reports of things like floor rot (especially under fridge), wear & tear on seals/light fittings etc. Users advise careful inspection.
➖ Fuel consumption / running costs — larger engine, heavier body means more fuel used, higher maintenance, possibly higher insurance.
