Hugo
A COMPACT MOTORHOME FOR UP TO 4 PEOPLE with an AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
We have two Hugos, both are 2023 Autotrail F60s with an automatic
gearbox. The two vans are identical except:
- Hugo1 has 4 seatbelts and Hugo2 has two seatbelts (this also means Hugo2 has more open floorspace)
- Hugo2 doesn't have an awning
At just 6m long the Hugos are the same length as Piglet, but the extra 40cm width transforms the inside into a spacious, light, open space which seems impossible in such a short vehicle. This is achieved by locating the bathroom at the back of the van across the full width, and using an electric drop-down double bed instead of a fixed rear bed. So you don't need to make up your bed every day - you just push a button and it ascends into the roof, leaving you with a table and seating for up to 6.
Although primarily designed for couples, the dinette area converts into a second double bed so four people can sleep in comfort - however do note that there is fairly limited storage space so you'll need to travel very light (also Hugo2 only has two belted travel seats). If there are more than two of you going away for more than a week, we'd point you towards Goose or Rooster which have considerably more storage and beds in different parts of the van.
The feel inside is focused on comfort, with effective ambient lighting and clever storage solutions. There is a small outside cupboard and a separate outside cubby for footwear. Like all our vans, the Hugos have heating, a fridge, a hob and sink, a solar panel, cab air conditioning, a reversing camera, and cruise control. Hugo4 also has a wind-out awning. A robust kit table is provided for eating inside or outside.
There is an option to add a drive-away awning which gives you additional sleeping and storage space.
The full specification is below, and you can compare our vehicles on our Resources
page.

GOOD FOR:
accessing all areas, even small roads; being independent from camp sites; generous shower and bathroom space; people who don't want the hassle of making up their bed each day; people requiring a large lounging area (it's larger than the bigger vans Goose and Rooster); people taking a dog (large floorspace)
NOT GOOD FOR: people needing a lot of storage space), or wanting to store bikes in a secure garage, or wanting the two beds separate rather than one above the other for more privacy (Goose and Rooster deliver on all these requirements); people wanting a bed with step-less access (see Tigger).
