Enhancements and extras available from Auto-Trail

These packs tend to encompass things like entertainment facilities, or systems and driving enhancements which don’t come as standard features in that particular range. They provide further options to make your on-the-road experience that bit more comfortable, and in this edition of our blog we’ll look into what some of the packs available from Auto-Trail offer…

1.The V-Line Lux Pack

This pack is available as a cost option on V-Line S models (which are already geared up for efficiency and power, being based on the Fiat Ducato). But the enhancements and extras the Lux Pack bring are guaranteed to impress:

• Firstly, the 8” Zenec Xzent LCD display touch screen head unit features a DAB radio plus a very handy motorhome specific satellite navigation system. In practical terms, this means you enter details of the length, width, height and weight of your campervan and when it’s calculating the route to your destination, the sat nav should ensure it does not factor in roads which are inappropriate for your vehicle.
• The Lux Pack also includes a colour reversing camera to make parking a much easier and safer process, as well as a 100w solar panel and regulator for a clean, green and efficient way to generate power, meaning you can go off-grid for a little longer. The pack also includes a fly-screen to the campervan’s sliding entrance door to keep out all those tiny beasties that can be the absolute bane of a good park-up. The electric step is a convenient method of making your way down to the wind-out awning for some quality social time in your very own outdoor space.
• For added warmth in the colder months, the V-Line Lux Pack also provides cab carpets. These can easily be taken up or laid down depending on the nature of your road trip.

2.The F-Line Lux Pack

Similar to the V-Line Lux Pack, the F-Line Lux Pack is for Auto-Trail’s F-Line Ford-based range. Vehicles in this range feature a 9.5” Zenec Xzent LCD display touch screen head unit with a DAB radio and a motorhome specific satellite navigation system, plus a colour reversing camera and a solar panel. It also features an upgraded habitation entrance door and fly-screen, external barbecue point so that you can easily manage those outdoor meals, and a television aerial and preparation so you can quickly rig up your evening’s entertainment. Motorhomes with this pack also include an omni vent (this is a ventilated rooflight, positioned on the ceiling in the motorhome, which includes a vent to increase the circulation of air throughout it).

3.Media Pack and Media+ Pack

The Media Pack is available as an upgrade on Imala and Tracker models, though is standard on V-Line SE, V-Line Sport, Adventure, Frontier and Grande Frontier. It includes a whole host of features to make onboard entertainment as good as can be, such as a new 21.5” Avtex widescreen smart TV (or a 19.5” on Imala models), an 8” Zenec touch screen dashboard head unit featuring a motorhome specific satellite navigation system plus DAB radio tuner, and a Bluetooth hands-free system with integrated microphone (so you can handle calls with ease while you’re driving).

The Media Pack also includes an omni-directional aerial, steering wheel radio controls and a selectable rear camera view when driving forwards (the reversing camera is integrated into the touch screen display). The Media+ Pack is also available as a cost option on the Imala, Tracker, Frontier and Grande Frontier models, and has the addition of a 65cm fully automatic folding roof-mounted satellite system and receiver.

4.The F-Line Drivers Pack

This is available, as the name suggests, on F-Line models and features an array of great features to keep both driver and passengers happy. There is air conditioning in the cab, plus a heated front windscreen and rain sensing wipers (for those cold and wet mornings when you’re out on the road). The Drivers Pack also features electrically operated heated exterior mirrors, which are adjustable, as well as automatic headlamps, front fog lamps, and high series headlamp with static bending. There is also a Trend instrument panel including a locking glove box.

In addition to the various additional feature packs that we’ve mentioned above, it’s also worth highlighting another of the fantastic features from Auto-Trail. In partnership with UK chemical manufacturer Jewelultra, Auto-Trail vehicles feature the industry leading Diamondbrite Paint and Upholstery Protection. This is a two-stage process that provides top quality weatherproofing on the exterior bodywork of our motorhomes, protecting paintwork from long-term exposure to the elements. It also looks fantastic!

As a luxury motorhome manufacturer, Auto-Trail produces a great range of motorhomes and campervans to satisfy all, whether it’s a more compact model for any couple’s weekend breaks or a larger home from home for those longer getaways involving more people.
