Stay Warm in Winter: 5 Winterproof Motorhomes

Winter-Suitable, Winterproof, and Winter-Hardy

Not all motorhomes or caravans are equipped for winter conditions. Terms like winter-suitable, winterproof, and winter-hardy describe how well your vehicle handles the cold. But what’s the difference? Our detailed article explains these terms, which you might want to read before diving into this list of winterproof motorhomes.

Kabe Imperial i790 LQB

All motorhomes and caravans by Kabe are built for winter travel. These Swedish vehicles are designed to withstand extreme cold with thick roofs, sturdy walls, strong tires, and well-insulated floors. The Kabe Imperial i790 LQB is a 7.90-meter-long integrated motorhome featuring an L-shaped lounge and a queen-size bed.

This motorhome is perfect for year-round travel. In winter, it remains cozy thanks to features like the Alde Compact 3030 central heating, underfloor heating, double-glazed windows, a thermal curtain, and excellent insulation. All water tanks are frost-resistant.

Globe-Traveller Falcon 2YS

Want to winter camp in a van? The Globe-Traveller Falcon 2YS, a 5.99-meter van camper, makes it possible. Built on a Volkswagen Crafter chassis, it features a spacious rear lounge that converts into a 2.05 x 1.24-meter bed with an adjustable headrest for reading or watching TV. The front seats swivel to create an additional seating area.

A removable rear wall provides extra insulation, and the van is equipped with a double floor, excellent insulation, a 120 Wp solar panel, and a 210 AH lithium battery. This makes it suitable for year-round adventures.

Malibu Genius 641 LE

The Malibu Genius 641 LE, part of the Carthago Group, is a 6.41-meter van built on a modified Mercedes Sprinter chassis. Malibu extended the 5.93-meter Sprinter to include features like twin 2-meter-long beds, a dinette with swivel cabin seats, and the company’s innovative two-room concept. The bathroom door doubles as a partition between the kitchen/living area and the sleeping/bathroom area.

It features a Truma Combi D 6 E heating system, with an optional altitude kit for comfort at heights of 1,500–2,750 meters. Tanks and pipes are located in a heated double floor, and high-quality insulation keeps the interior warm.

Hymer B-MC T Black Edition

The Hymer B-MC T Black Edition is part of the B-Class ModernComfort series, built on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis. The 2025 BlackLine Edition features a sleek silver-and-black exterior and a modern, urban-style interior with a concrete-look floor.

Hymer uses PU foam insulation, which provides thermal performance comparable to 80 cm-thick brick walls. A heated double floor protects tanks and pipes from freezing. All Hymer motorhomes with air heating are tested at Truma’s Munich facility, while those with water heating are tested by Alde in Sweden. An optional Arctic Package adds cabin curtains and auxiliary heating for extreme conditions.
