FAQS
Answering your frequently asked questions about Eurocrusier Fifthwheels with Herbie
General Questions
What makes Eurocruiser different from other caravans?
Eurocruiser fifthwheels are designed for people who want more than just a place to sleep. We combine spacious layouts, residential-style comfort, and practical towing features, so you can travel in style and settle in easily, wherever you go.
Is a Eurocruiser better than a motorhome?
It depends on how you travel. With Eurocruiser, you get a proper home-from-home and the freedom to detach your tow vehicle and explore once you’re set up. No compromise on space or comfort—just more flexibility.
Are Eurocruisers suitable for use all year round?
Yes. All models are built for year-round touring, with high-grade insulation (twice the thickness of some of our competitors) whilst central heating and air conditioning to keep you comfortable in every season.
I have a Ford Ranger, can I legally tow a fifthwheel that is longer than my 7 metre caravan?
Absolutely. As a fifthwheel is classed as a semi-trailer, there is no 7 metre rule for tow vehicles under 3500kg. With a fifthwheel, the maximum legal length with any tow vehicle is 12 metres, but just remember to never exceed your tow vehicles maximum towing weight.
Towing & Setup Questions
What kind of vehicle do I need to tow a Eurocruiser?
You’ll need a pickup truck fitted with a fifth-wheel hitch. We can advise on suitable models and help with setup.
Do I need a special licence to tow one?
No special licence needed! Since the UK’s exit from Europe in 2021, every UK driving licence now includes a B+E (car and trailer) category – meaning you’re already qualified to tow any of our Eurocruisers up to 3500kg. Hassle-free towing, right from the start!
Is it difficult to tow a Eurocruiser?
Every Eurocruiser, fifthwheel and caravan we build is engineered for unbeatable towing confidence. Designed from the ground up with stability in mind, our unique axle placement – two thirds of the way up – delivers exceptional balance and control on the road. The result? A smoother, safer tow without the need for bulky anti-sway devices.
Are Eurocruisers auto-levelling?
Yes, automatic levelling is available but is standard fitment on our Elite range.
Can I use it on normal campsites?
As European motorhomes continue to grow in size, most campsites now cater for vehicles up to 10-12 metres in length. However, to ensure a smooth arrival and easy access – especially at sites with tighter entrances – we always recommend giving them a quick call ahead of time.
How long do the slide outs take?
Even our biggest slide outs only take as little as 30 seconds to extend or retract.
Living & Layout
Is it comfortable enough for full-time use?
Yes, many of our customers live in theirs full time. The space, insulation, and build quality make it a genuine alternative to bricks and mortar.
Do the slide-outs make a difference?
Huge difference. Slide-outs expand the living space at the touch of a button, giving you more room to relax without increasing the towing size.
What kind of heating and cooling does it have?
All models have central heating as standard. Our Elite range comes standard with air conditioning (air conditioning is also available on Eurocruiser Lite at additional cost).
What’s the bed setup like?
We’ve got a model to suit every lifestyle and sleeping need – from our cosy 4-berth couples’ coaches to our spacious 10-berth, two-bedroom layouts. Whatever your setup, you’ll find the perfect Eurocruiser to match your needs and travel style.
Is there plenty of storage?
Yes – storage is built in everywhere, inside and out! From spacious wardrobes and overhead lockers to large external lockers, there’s a dedicated space for all your essentials. You’ll also enjoy a luxurious king-sized ottoman bed with generous under-bed storage, and large kitchen pantry in selected models! Plus a full-width external storage locker that makes packing for any adventure effortless.
Aftercare & Support
How often should I get it serviced?
We recommend a yearly service to keep everything running smoothly. Our workshop is open Monday to Friday, and we’re always here if you need help.
What warranty is included?
UK and Europe’s best fifth wheel warranty! Each Eurocruiser comes with a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty and a 10-year water ingress warranty for added peace of mind.
What happens if I experience issues while I am away?

Whether you need quick advice or in-depth support, help is always just a message away. Enjoy complete peace of mind knowing our team is with you every step of the journey.
