Who are Auto-Sleeper?
Auto-Sleeper have been building motorhomes for over sixty years and they have a tradition – creating motorhomes of excellence that are distinctive in appearance.
The moment you enter an Auto-Sleeper, that “Wow!” feeling kicks in. And not only are Auto-Sleeper motorhomes finished to a high standard, but reliability is key – using Mercedes Benz, and Fiat/Peugeot chassis as partners.
What is it like stepping inside an Auto-Sleeper motorhome?
Stepping into an Auto-Sleeper motorhome is like entering a compact, thoughtfully designed oasis of comfort and convenience. As you open the door, you are greeted by a welcoming interior that immediately feels cosy and inviting. The craftsmanship is evident, with high-quality materials and a meticulous attention to detail.
First impressions: The first thing that strikes you is the efficient use of space. Despite the motorhome’s relatively small footprint, every inch has been utilised to maximise functionality without compromising on style. Soft, ambient lighting casts a warm glow, enhancing the homely atmosphere. The upholstery is plush and comfortable, often featuring attractive, modern patterns that add a touch of elegance.
Living area: The living area, usually located near the entrance, is designed for relaxation and socialising. Comfortable seating, which can often be converted into sleeping quarters, typically surrounds a central table. This space is perfect for enjoying a meal, playing games, or simply lounging with a book. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to flood in during the day, offering great views of your surroundings and making the space feel even more open.
Kitchen: Moving further in, you find a compact yet fully equipped kitchen. Depending on the model you buy, it typically boasts all the essentials: a stove, a microwave, a sink, and ample storage for your culinary needs. The countertops are durable and easy to clean, while clever storage solutions keep everything in its place, ensuring a clutter-free environment.
Bathroom: The bathroom is surprisingly spacious given the overall size of the motorhome. Models can include a shower, a toilet, and a sink, all designed with modern fixtures. The use of space here is particularly impressive, providing a sense of privacy and comfort.
Sleeping quarters: Towards the rear or sometimes above the cab, you will typically find the sleeping quarters. These areas are designed to offer a restful night’s sleep, with comfortable mattresses and easily accessible storage for personal items. Some models feature bunk beds, while others have larger double beds, often with additional storage underneath.
Storage solutions: Throughout the motorhome, ingenious storage solutions abound. From under-seat compartments to overhead lockers, there is a place for everything. This thoughtful design ensures that you can bring along all your essentials and a few luxuries without feeling cramped.
Technology and amenities: Modern Auto-Sleeper motorhomes come equipped with a range of technological features and amenities. These can include everything from entertainment systems and Wi-Fi connectivity to advanced climate control.
Overall atmosphere: The overall atmosphere of an Auto-Sleeper motorhome is one of comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury. It feels like a well-appointed home on wheels, perfect for both short weekend getaways and extended road trips. The design encourages you to settle in and enjoy your surroundings, whether you are parked at a scenic campsite or embarking on a new adventure.
Stepping into an Auto-Sleeper motorhome is an experience that combines the freedom of the open road with the comforts of home, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking both adventure and relaxation.
Visit our Auto-Sleepers Exhibition Centre
Our Auto-Sleeper exhibition centre became a reality in January 2012, displaying and selling the whole range of new Auto- Sleeper motorhomes, from a heated indoor showroom.
When it’s cold and wet, the last thing you need is to be outside viewing a motorhome. Here in Derby, we decided that having all the Auto-Sleeper motorhomes in one place made sense.
First the showroom is heated and second you can pop in and out of each motorhome, comparing layouts and sitting in the set up.
Pop out into the Derby Cathedral quarter for a break or lunch and pop back, it’s just at the end of our road.
Our trained staff are on hand should you need some assistance, or a test drive, that can all be arranged on a personal basis. We want all customers to enjoy the centre, no sales pressure, just good honest help when needed.
