Vehicles combining innovation and increasing performance<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026, Pilote is focusing on performance, allowing you to travel without limits. Our vehicles and offers have been designed to satisfy camping car enthusiasts who seek cutting-edge technology and want to explore the world with complete independence and freedom. This new collection has been conceived to provide you with more on-road comfort during your getaways, thanks to more powerful new equipment. We\u2019ve also chosen to minimize gas-powered equipment as much as possible to reduce your consumption. All of this is aimed at increasing your comfort and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. More powerful equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your leisure battery, inverter, solar panels\u2026 these are all essential pieces of equipment for your RV trips. They\u2019re crucial because they provide you with an electricity source inside your vehicle when you\u2019re stopped. To maximize both your autonomy and comfort, choose the equipment best suited to your needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

A lithium leisure battery, for better performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle battery (or auxiliary battery) is the power source that supplies electricity to all your devices inside your vehicle when stationary: lighting, heating, refrigerator, television, etc. It is designed to deliver a continuous 12 V voltage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, all our motorhomes can be equipped with a lithium leisure battery. It\u2019s smaller, lighter, faster to recharge, and has a longer lifespan than AGM batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your needs, you can choose your battery\u2019s capacity (optional*): 105 or 200 Ah on low-profiles, 200 or 300 Ah on A-class models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Evidence low-profile models come with a 200 Ah lithium battery<\/em> as standard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n

A more powerful inverter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A power inverter converts the direct current (12 V) supplied by the vehicle battery into alternating current (230 V), which can be used to power many of the same electrical appliances you use at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, we\u2019ve once again boosted the power of our inverters. Depending on your needs and your battery, you can choose a 1,500 W or 2,000 W inverter*. This means you can use more power-hungry appliances, or more appliances at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*1,500 W or 2,000 W on Expression low-profiles, 2,000 W on A-classes and Evidence low-profile models (always as an option, except for G781FC and G781FGJ Evidence for which it is standard).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

100 W TOPCon solar panels for faster charging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To efficiently, conveniently, and ecologically recharge your battery, you can optionally integrate one or more solar panels into your vehicle. They are particularly effective in the summer and around midday (when sunlight is at its maximum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solar panels we offer at Pilote have a power of 100 W, and this year, they feature high-performance TOPCon technology, which significantly improves their efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

2. Reduced gas consumption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every leisure vehicle trip often leads to significant gas consumption. Many onboard amenities that ensure a certain level of comfort, like the refrigerator, heating, and cooking hobs, rely on it. Beyond the cost, loading and unloading gas bottles (which are often heavy and bulky) can become a real chore. Furthermore, if you travel abroad, finding compatible gas bottles can be challenging. That\u2019s why, for this new 2026 collection, we\u2019ve chosen to minimize gas usage by replacing heating and refrigeration equipment with new models that are also, by the same token, even more efficient! Gas will therefore only be necessary for your cooking hobs; a simple, small gas bottle will be more than enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

A hybrid heating system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This year, we\u2019ve opted for the Truma\u00ae Combi D 6E heating system. Unlike other heaters from the same brand, this one doesn\u2019t require gas as it\u2019s a hybrid system that runs on electricity and diesel. This heating system offers three benefits that will enhance your on-board comfort:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
