Bentley Motorhomes for Sale

Bentley Motorhomes was a British coachbuilt manufacturer based in Mexborough, South Yorkshire, founded in 2010 by Autocruise founder Gordon Bentley, his son Richard, and former Autocruise chairman John Cockburn, after Swift's acquisition of Autocruise. It has no connection to Bentley Motors, the Crewe-based luxury car maker, which has never built a motorhome. The Bentley range launched in 2010 with the narrow-bodied Artisan low-profile coachbuilts on the Renault Trafic, at 1.98m wide and around 6.1m long. The Signature range followed at the 2011 NEC show, built on the Renault Master AL-KO chassis in more conventional coachbuilt sizes, with models including the Cerise, Amber, Oulton and Mallory. Bentley took first and second place in two coachbuilt categories at the 2012 Caravan Club Owner Satisfaction Awards before falling sales forced the company into liquidation in 2013, with the name and tooling acquired by Vanmaster. Used Bentley coachbuilts still come up on the UK market and tend to be valued for their British construction and in-house joinery. Any private listing tagged Bentley almost always refers to one of these Mexborough-built coachbuilts rather than to a car-based one-off.
