Room for the family, a bedroom for you

The 2026 Expedition C71 centres on a fixed rear island bed that closes off from the rest of the van to make a private, ensuite-style bedroom. Dual wardrobes, overhead lockers and a rear compartment with outside access keep everything stowed.

Up front, a relaxed lounge with swivelling cab seats makes an easy place to eat, work or settle in when the weather turns, with a mid kitchen and full oven in between.

Choose the Hi-Line for a double bed over the cab, or the Lo-Line for storage in its place, at no extra cost. Both ride on the Fiat Ducato Series 9 chassis, with a 180 bhp Euro 6D engine and an 8-speed automatic.

An island bed made for comfort

Award-winning construction

Proven to pass the test of time

Over 38 years Auto-Trail has refined a construction method that means less road noise, more resistance to vibration and warmth in any season.

  • Cube construction

    The body is built as one rigid, gapless “cube” on air-suspended platforms, then lifted onto the chassis. Its 35 mm Styrisol core is 12% more thermally efficient than the industry standard.

  • Grade 3 insulation

    Holds 20°C inside when it’s −15°C outside, to the NCC EN 1646-1 standard. 40 mm walls and roof, 45 mm floor, double-glazed windows.

  • 10-year body warranty

    On body construction integrity, backed by a structural aluminium extrusion bonded and bolted to the edge of the floor.

  • Fiat Ducato on AL-KO

    An AL-KO chassis for extra stability and storage. An extra-wide rear axle reduces body roll, and the cab drives like a car.

Intelligent, safe driving

Fiat’s Advanced Driver Assistance

Auto-Trail puts safety first. Fiat’s driver assistance systems take the strain out of every journey, so you can drive with complete peace of mind.

  • The motorhome’s radar holding a safe gap behind an SUV on a country highway

    Adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go

    Holds a safe distance behind slower traffic, then accelerates back to your set speed once the road ahead is clear.

  • The motorhome’s windscreen camera detecting a cyclist on a pedestrian crossing

    Emergency braking

    Detects pedestrians and cyclists with a camera at the top of the windscreen, to prevent a collision or reduce its severity.

  • Lane markings traced either side of the motorhome on a winding mountain road

    Lane centring and keeping

    Reads lane markings and road edges, and steers to keep the vehicle centred in its lane.

  • The motorhome’s camera reading an 80 km/h speed sign

    Speed assist with sign recognition

    Reads speed signs, shows the limit on the digital cluster and adjusts the speed limiter to match.

  • A car in the motorhome’s blind spot, highlighted in the next lane

    Blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alert

    Warns you of vehicles in your blind spots, and of traffic crossing behind as you reverse.

  • Proximity zones around the motorhome as it reverses towards a bollard

    360° parking sensors

    14 or 16 sensors, depending on length, warn you on the cluster as you approach obstacles or squeeze through tight spaces.
