Auto-Trail

Auto-Trail is a motorhome manufacturer, set up by Bill Boasman and Barry Holmes in 1982.
History.
After both working at Astral, Boasman and Holmes worked together at Cosalt in Grimsby, and together built up the caravan division known as Humber Caravan Co. alongside Len Funnell. This caravan division was then renamed Abbey Caravan Company. Boasman left in 1971 to begin working at Mustang.
In 1982, after being inspired by American RVs, Boasman created the first coachbuilt Auto-Trail motorhome, the Auto-Trail Cheyenne on the Peugeot 504.
Auto-Trail was bought out by A.B.I Caravans although Auto-Trail remained at its Grimsby factory. ABI went out of business in 1998 and Auto-Trail was sold to the Italian Ci Group, owned by the larger Trigano Group in 1999.
Auto-Trail added the Tribute range into the main Auto-Trail line-up in 2017 after manufacturing moved from Italy to the company's main premises in Grimsby.
Current Ranges.
Auto-Trail continue to produce both van conversion and coachbuilt motorhomes.
