With so many people being keen to enjoy a campervan or caravan staycation this summer, free ad site Gumtree has ranked widely available leisure vehicles into a number of categories.
Collating data from various caravan publications in May 2021, Gumtree has created a resource making it easy to compare features.
In the first category, best for a staycation, it put the Zefiro 685 in the top spot, followed by the Swift Escape 684 in second, with the McLouis Fusion 360 coming in third.
Among the attributes to put the Zefiro 685 in first position is its ability to sleep five people instead of the typical four.
The rankings also suggested its size, hosting potential, price and cost all combined to make it a well-balanced option.
Anyone looking to pick up a bargain will be interested to know that the top three leisure vehicles in the most cost-effective category were the Mazda Bongo, Mercedes Benz Marco Polo and Ford Transit.
It’s not just the £13,000 price tag that makes the Bongo an option that’s good for the wallet, Gumtree noted that filling the tank from empty takes just £83.46.
When it comes to hosting friends and family, the research put the Benimar Primero 313 at the top of the list, with the Zefiro 685 in second and the Swift Escape 684 in third.
Not only does the Benimar boast six berths, it also has impressive cooking facilities and 40.64 square metres of space.
It’s worth noting that if you’re looking for something more compact but still able to host a few friends, the Dreamer Camper Five, which came in at number nine, is a solid option with five berths.
This underlines the fact that when buying a caravan, campervan or motorhome, everyone’s requirements will be different and the market has so much variation, there’s almost certain to be something out there to suit your needs.
