Yucon is a premium German microliner brand by Frankia, building luxury campervans on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis that deliver motorhome comfort in a compact format. The concept bridges the gap between basic campervans and full-size luxury motorhomes.

The range includes:

The Yucon 6.0 BD — based on Mercedes Sprinter 144" chassis. 4 seatbelted seats, large transversal rear bed, kitchenette and optional pop-up roof. MTPLM 4,100kg.

The Yucon 7.0 GD — based on 170" chassis, more storage, more cooking space and increased payload capacity.

The K-Peak range — premium off-road specification with standard 4x4 AWD, BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres, 190bhp Mercedes diesel, 9-speed automatic. Described as the best value-for-money off-road 4x4 campervan available.

Standard specification includes 300Ah leisure battery, 90W solar panel, 110L fresh water and Mercedes MBUX 10.25" touchscreen system.

Yucon was established as an independent brand around 2022, evolving from a product line within Frankia — the premium German motorhome manufacturer. The name 'Yucon' derives from Yukon, Canada's most northwestern territory, reflecting the brand's adventurous positioning.

Yucon has its own dedicated production facility adjacent to the Frankia factory in Schlüsselfeld, Germany. Through Frankia, Yucon is part of Groupe Pilote — one of Europe's largest motorhome groups.

The brand pioneered the 'microliner' concept — high-end luxury campervans that deliver motorhome-level comfort within compact panel van dimensions. This philosophy bridges the gap between basic campervans and full-size luxury motorhomes.

UK distribution is handled through SMC Motorhomes of Newark.

The microliner concept — Yucon invented the term 'microliner' to describe luxury campervans that deliver the comfort of a motorhome within compact panel van dimensions.

K-Peak off-road excellence — standard 4x4 AWD, all-terrain tyres and 190bhp Mercedes power create what many reviewers consider the best value off-road campervan available.

Frankia luxury DNA — built adjacent to Frankia's premium motorhome factory, Yucon inherits the same engineering standards and craftsmanship.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter specialists — exclusive use of the Sprinter platform ensures deep expertise in this premium base vehicle.

If you want a luxury campervan — the microliner concept delivers motorhome comfort that basic van conversions cannot match.

If you want an off-road 4x4 campervan — the K-Peak with standard AWD, all-terrain tyres and 190bhp is exceptional value.

If you prefer Mercedes-Benz — the Sprinter platform offers premium driving dynamics, MBUX technology and strong dealer support.

If you want Frankia quality in a compact format — premium German engineering in a manageable campervan size.

Very young brand — established 2022, minimal long-term reliability data or used market presence.

Exceeds 3,500kg — at 4,100kg MTPLM, the Yucon requires a C1 driving licence category, not standard B licence.

Premium pricing — Frankia-level quality commands premium prices above mass-market campervans.

Limited headroom — 1.80m interior height may be restrictive for taller occupants.

Limited UK used market — very few used examples available given the brand's youth.

Check driving licence requirements — at 4,100kg MTPLM, verify the buyer holds C1 licence category.

Check the Mercedes Sprinter base — full dealer service history, injectors, DPF, AdBlue system.

On K-Peak models, test 4x4 system — verify AWD engages correctly and all-terrain tyres are in good condition.

Test the electrical system — 300Ah battery bank, solar charging and all circuits.

Conduct damp check — despite premium construction, always verify with calibrated meter.

Yucon provides manufacturer warranty through the Frankia/Groupe Pilote dealer network, with UK support via SMC Motorhomes of Newark.

Mercedes-Benz base vehicle warranty provides additional coverage on the Sprinter platform.

OakTree Motorhomes can advise on independent warranty options for premium campervans.

When buying a used Yucon, 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.
