Etrusco is an entry-level Italian-built motorhome brand within the Erwin Hymer Group, combining Italian design flair with German engineering and affordable pricing. Built in one of Europe's most advanced factories near Florence, Etrusco covers the full range from campervans to A-class motorhomes.

The range includes:

The CV Models — compact, stylish campervans on Fiat Ducato, from 5.41m. The CV Plus series adds Sky-View overcab windows, Vario washroom and larger fridges.

The V Models — low-profile coachbuilt models on Ford Transit with increased standard features.

The T Models — semi-integrated models on Fiat Ducato with various bed configurations.

The I Models — fully integrated A-class motorhomes offering premium touring comfort at entry-level A-class prices.

All models benefit from lean, efficient production processes that establish quality, modern styling and fair prices as the common denominator.

Etrusco was founded in 2016 as part of the Erwin Hymer Group, with the name derived from the ancient Etruscan people of north-central Italy, renowned for elegant and durable works of art. Series production started at the factory in San Casciano, Tuscany.

The brand was created to round off the entry-level segment of the Erwin Hymer Group alongside Carado and Sunlight, but with a distinctly Mediterranean design philosophy. Initial sales launched in Italy, Spain and France before expanding to Germany, Belgium and eventually over 20 markets.

As part of the Erwin Hymer Group, Etrusco became a subsidiary of THOR Industries following their acquisition of Hymer in 2018. The brand benefits from one of the world's largest leisure vehicle groups' engineering, purchasing power and distribution network.

Despite its youth, Etrusco has grown steadily, with the production plant near Florence among the most advanced factories in Europe.

Mediterranean design at entry-level prices — Etrusco brings genuine Italian styling and warmth to the budget motorhome segment, distinguishing itself from the more functional German aesthetic of sister brands Carado and Sunlight.

Erwin Hymer Group engineering — despite budget pricing, Etrusco draws on the Group's extensive motorhome production experience for engineering quality and reliability.

State-of-the-art Italian factory — the Tuscan production facility is among the most advanced in European motorhome manufacturing.

Rapid growth and broad range — from founding in 2016 to availability in 20+ markets with campervans through A-class, Etrusco's growth validates its value proposition.

If you want Mediterranean style on a budget — Etrusco's Italian design sensibility creates warmer, more characterful interiors than many budget alternatives.

If you want Hymer Group backing at entry prices — the engineering resources and parts supply of one of the world's largest RV groups behind affordable pricing.

If you want a budget A-class — the I-Model offers fully integrated motorhome living at accessible entry prices.

If you want Ford and Fiat platform choice — models available on both Ford Transit and Fiat Ducato.

Very young brand — founded 2016 with limited long-term reliability data available.

Entry-level specification — budget pricing means simpler interior materials and fittings than premium Hymer Group brands.

Limited UK dealer network — while growing, UK representation is smaller than established brands.

Brand recognition — as a new brand, Etrusco has low awareness among UK buyers, potentially affecting resale values.

Weight considerations — some models require careful payload management to stay within licence limits.

Check the base vehicle — on Fiat Ducato: cam belt, clutch, gearbox. On Ford Transit: service history, turbo, EcoBlue engine.

Conduct thorough damp check — check all walls, windows, doors and rooflights with a calibrated meter.

Inspect entry-level fittings — budget-spec components may show wear. Check hinges, catches and soft furnishings.

Test all systems — heating, water, fridge, electrical circuits through a complete cycle.

Verify payload capacity — check actual weight against MTPLM limit.

Etrusco provides manufacturer warranty through the Erwin Hymer Group dealer network. The THOR Industries backing provides long-term parts availability and manufacturer stability.

An independent warranty backed by the RAC is recommended for used Etrusco purchases, particularly given the brand's youth and limited long-term track record.

OakTree Motorhomes offer up to three years of RAC-backed warranty, providing essential peace of mind on a newer brand.

When buying a used Etrusco, look for a dealer that offers an independent warranty backed by a provider like the RAC. This means your warranty remains valid even if the dealer ceases trading. OakTree Motorhomes offer up to three years of RAC-backed warranty, covering the average ownership period.
