Verdict
It’s good to see that Auto-Trail is making luxury more affordable, even if the ’van is still heavy.
Those with a C licence should find this a model that two people and their occasional guests will be very comfortable in.

Pros
The master suite is the star of the show
In the rear bedroom there’s a neat corner dresser unit
There is space for six people to dine in this motorhome

Cons
Its 4250kg MTPLM means you’ll need a C licence to drive it
There are four berths, but just two travel seats
You can’t store bikes in the garage
One key theme from Auto-Trail this season has been to introduce popular layouts from its more costly ranges into its cheaper ones.
So it is with this, the Tracker LB.
This new Tracker may be 7.60m long, compared with the Frontier Delaware’s 8.04m, but the two share the same layout.
Although shorter, the Tracker LB’s MTPLM of 4250kg does mean you’ll need a C1 category driving licence to drive it.
Both the Hi-Line, with its overcab bed, and the Lo-Line, which we tested, have a rear spare-wheel carrier – not strictly necessary these days, but it does look classy.
One useful amendment Auto-Trail has made is that the water and external gas barbecue outlets now come with a slide-up cover, which won’t flap around en route.
The rear island bed looks palatial
Living
A handle under the mirror just inside the doorway helps you up into a front lounge that looks classy in purple tartan and grey.
A heating vent by this door gives you some welcome warmth, while two under the sofas help keep the whole area civilised.
This layout will only suit if you are happy with just two travel seats in the ’van – if you also want travel seats in the back, you can opt for a half-dinette here instead.
It’s good that those cab seats swivel, because it might be a squeeze to fit more than four on the two settees.
But this lounge does come with a useful small pedestal table for snacks.
The dining table is perfectly good for six people, although we found it a bit of a struggle to get it out of its slot between the fridge and the door.
The large rooflight lets in plenty of light during the day, while at night this central part of the ’van benefits from ambient illumination and four spots.
Well-placed speakers mean you can listen to your favourite music with ease, at least if you go for the Media Pack.
This gives you a radio/CD player with Bluetooth capability, and an 18.5in Avtex TV that swings down from its position in the centre of the cab.
Kitchen
The kitchen is L-shaped, which is great for sociability.
Auto-Trail still provides a permanent drainer, and the workspace to the right of this is adequate.
It is also conveniently next to the four-ring dual-fuel hob and close to a mains socket.
The shelving unit under the sink is a stretch from the stove, so would probably be best for storing tableware. There’s a cutlery tray here, too.
The oven/grill to the right has an integrated pan locker below. Up above, you get an overhead locker next to the microwave, while across the aisle there is a 142-litre AES fridge with a drawer underneath.
Washroom
You have to mind the step when you climb into the shower cubicle, which is on the offside centre – and we would have expected two drain holes at this price.
It has a small vent, but no rooflight, and a rail for drying clothes.
The nearside toilet room does have a rooflight, as well as two cupboards, a towel ring, a swivel toilet unit and a lit mirror above the basin.
Beds
The rear island bed looks palatial.
It can be rolled back to make a day bed, although the headboard is perfectly comfortable if you prop yourself against it to read.
In one corner there are sockets for the TV, but there was no TV bracket on our test model.
The corner dresser unit has a mains socket and is lit by LEDs, while there are four small LEDs alongside each of the windows.
The two sofas make up into a huge double bed, and you can leave the small table in place.
With two ample bedside tables in the rear, everyone can enjoy breakfast in bed.
Storage
Storage is generally good. The garage is big enough for outdoor chairs, but not bikes.
There are two wardrobes in the rear bedroom, with smaller cupboards underneath.
Should you need more room, there is a large space under the island bed.
Storage in the Lo-Line, as tested, is slightly better than in the Hi-Line six-berth: instead of the overcab bed, it has more overhead lockers (nine in all).
The areas under the two sofas are clear.
