S&L Motorhomes is a premium UK van converter in North Yorkshire, evolving from 40 years of horsebox coachbuilding into award-winning motorhome construction. The craftsmen themselves help customers design their vehicles.

Three celestially-themed models on Fiat Ducato:

The Orion 5.4 RL — most compact at 5.4m, ideal for couples or smaller families seeking manoeuvrability.

The Atlas 6.0 RL — versatile mid-size at 5.99m, balancing space with practicality.

The Apollo 6.4 RL — spacious luxury at 6.36m, the most popular rear-lounge design.

All models benefit from the company's horsebox coachbuilding heritage — robust construction and attention to detail developed through decades of building vehicles that must withstand demanding equestrian use.

S&L Motorhomes traces its origins to 1983, originally established building bespoke horseboxes for discerning equestrians. The company leveraged its coachbuilding and carpentry expertise to expand into the premium motorhome market.

Based in Cliffe Common, Selby, North Yorkshire, S&L has grown into one of the UK's leading motorhome van conversion specialists. The company was formally registered as S&L Motorhomes Ltd in 2010.

Uniquely, S&L does not employ salespeople — the craftsmen who build the motorhomes help customers design their vehicles. This direct relationship between builder and buyer ensures that the people creating the motorhome understand exactly what the customer needs.

Horsebox heritage — 40+ years of building robust horseboxes provides construction expertise that translates directly into durable, well-built motorhomes.

Craftsmen as consultants — no salespeople. The people who build your motorhome help you design it, ensuring perfect communication between vision and execution.

Rear-lounge expertise — all three models feature popular rear-lounge layouts refined through years of customer feedback.

North Yorkshire craftsmanship — family-run, traditional values with modern construction standards.

If you value direct craftsman interaction — the unique no-salesperson model means you design with the person who builds.

If robust construction matters — horsebox-grade coachbuilding delivers exceptional durability.

If you want a rear-lounge layout — all three models specialise in this popular configuration.

If traditional family-business values appeal — 40+ years of family craftsmanship.

Small-scale production — limited output may create waiting times.

Single location — North Yorkshire base may require travel.

Rear-lounge only — all models share the same basic layout concept, limiting choice for buyers wanting different configurations.

Limited brand awareness — relatively niche despite long heritage.

Check the Fiat Ducato base — cam belt, clutch, gearbox as standard.

Inspect the coachbuilding quality — S&L's horsebox heritage means exceptional standards. Any departure may indicate non-original work.

Check the rear-lounge layout — test seating, bed conversion and all furnishings.

Conduct damp check — check all seals and conversion joints.
