The Carado brand
All Carado vehicles boast a combination of features to boost functionality, while offering ‘artless elegance’. They might have a comparatively small price tag but, make no mistake, they’re big on quality.
Oozing with practical features
Despite their ample practical elements, Carado is renowned for its abundance of open space which is apparent as soon as you step inside. The living room is further enhanced with large windows which invite the outside in.
A favourite for families and couples alike
Carado offers seating for up to six people, making the brand a firm favourite with travelling parties of all sizes. Drivers benefit from in-cab air conditioning for those long summer jaunts, as well as cruise control, a 130BHP engine and an extra wide chassis for excellent road handling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carado Motorhomes and Camper Vans
Who makes Carado motorhomes?
Carado motorhomes are produced by Carado GmbH, a brand within the Erwin Hymer Group, which is owned by THOR Industries. CAPRON manufactures Carado vehicles in Neustadt, Saxony, alongside vehicles for its sister brand Sunlight. The brand focuses on practical, competitively priced motorhomes and camper vans.
Are Carado motorhomes any good?
Carado is a credible choice for buyers prioritising functional layouts, familiar base vehicles and good value over luxury finishes. Its construction includes GRP roof protection and a seven-year water-ingress guarantee, although equipment and payload vary by model. Compare independent owner feedback, inspect the specific vehicle and assess aftersales support rather than assuming every Carado is equally reliable.
Where are Carado motorhomes made?
Carado vehicles are manufactured at CAPRON's factory in Neustadt in Sachsen, Germany, near Dresden. Carado also identifies the Erwin Hymer Group's Nowa Sól facility in Poland as producing vehicles for brands including Carado, so not every example should automatically be labelled German-built. Check the production details for the specific model and vehicle.
Are Carado and Sunlight the same brand?
No, Carado and Sunlight are separate brands within the Erwin Hymer Group, although both have vehicles manufactured by CAPRON. They share a focus on accessible pricing and practical touring layouts but retain distinct ranges, specifications and branding. Compare individual models and dealer support instead of treating the names as interchangeable.
How long do Carado motorhomes typically last?
A well-maintained Carado can provide many years of service, but no verified Carado-specific average lifespan is published. Longevity depends on mileage, chassis servicing, damp prevention, storage conditions and prompt repair of faults. Annual water-tightness inspections are also required to preserve Carado's seven-year water-ingress cover on eligible vehicles.
Can I drive a Carado motorhome on a standard UK car licence?
Yes, a Carado with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of 3,500 kg or less can normally be driven on a standard UK category B licence. Models plated above 3,500 kg and up to 7,500 kg require category C1 entitlement; always check the vehicle's weight plate and your licence. See the DVLA motorhome guidance, particularly if optional equipment changes the weight specification.
Do Carado motorhomes hold their value?
Carado motorhomes can retain resale appeal through practical layouts and the backing of a recognised manufacturer, but there is no reliable universal Carado depreciation rate. Value depends on age, mileage, condition, servicing, specification and market demand. Compare similar live UK listings and factor in damp history and remaining warranty rather than assuming a guaranteed return.
