Driving Experience
The Kingham is built on the Mercedes-Benz 314 CDI Sprinter with a 2.1L 140hp diesel engine and 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox. It offers a smooth, responsive drive with car-like handling.
With an MTPLM of 3500kg and a generous payload of 485kg, the Kingham can comfortably carry 4 people and their gear. The 71L fuel tank provides a range over 500 miles.
Perfect For…
The Auto-Sleepers Kingham is ideal for:
- Families or groups of 4 wanting a luxurious camper for extended holidays
- Couples desiring extra space and a fixed bed layout
- Adventurers needing a comfortable, fully-equipped base for outdoor pursuits
- Buyers prioritising craftsmanship, refinement, and the Mercedes-Benz driving experience
While the Kingham has a premium price point, its quality, comfort, and appointments justify the cost for discerning buyers.
Compared to the Swift Kon-tiki 625, the Kingham has a more modern interior design and a fixed bed. The Hymer B-Class ModernComfort T 580 matches the Kingham’s refinement but is significantly larger.
