Competitors Compared

Model	Price (£)	Length	Layout	Heating
Auto-Sleepers Nuevo EK	59,995	5.75m	End kitchen	Truma Combi 4E
Swift Select 122	58,425	5.97m	French bed	Truma Combi 4
Elddis Autoquest CV20	53,099	5.41m	End kitchen	Whale gas/electric
Roller Team 590	57,820	5.99m	Mid kitchen	Truma Combi 4

The Nuevo EK justifies its higher price point with its fantastic build quality, generous equipment levels, and elegant design inside and out. While rivals like the Swift Select 122 or Elddis CV20 are also well-made, the Nuevo exudes an extra air of refinement.

Compared to the slightly larger Select 122 with its fixed French bed, the Nuevo EK’s end kitchen and convertible lounge bed make better use of interior space. The Roller Team 590 is worthy competitor with its mid-kitchen layout, but can’t quite match the Nuevo’s interior fit and finish.

The Auto-Sleepers Nuevo EK is an outstanding 2 berth camper van that delivers luxury, convenience, and serious road trip credentials. Its winning combination of style, space, and standard kit make it a top contender in its class.

While not the cheapest option, the Nuevo EK’s impressive build quality and well-designed interior justify the investment for comfort-minded buyers. From its sleek silhouette to its well-appointed living area, every inch has been carefully considered.

Whether embarking on cross-continent tours or weekend adventures, the Nuevo EK provides a delightful traveling experience. If you’re seeking a supremely capable and comfortable 2 person camper, the Auto-Sleepers Nuevo EK is tough to beat.
