Bespoke caravans, built to your brief.

A private commission means every millimetre answers to you. Motohom's atelier turns your brief into a rolling residence.

The Atelier

Design, engineering and finishing — under one roof.

Most caravan builders assemble. We design the layout, engineer the systems, fabricate the body and finish the interior in the same workshop, with the same team accountable from first sketch to handover.

That vertical control is why our own rental fleet is built here too. Everything we learn from a hundred caravans running across India goes straight back into the next commission.

Designed. Engineered. Crafted.

Five stages, none of them rushed.

From our design studio to the open road, every Motohom passes through hundreds of hours of craftsmanship and testing.

The Standard
If a finish cannot survive an Indian road honestly, we do not offer it — however well it renders.
Our engineering rule
Workshop to Road

The same cabin, four months apart.

Drag the handle. Left is the shell on our workshop floor; right is the interior that left on a lorry.

Engineering

Four problems we solve before styling anything.

01

Built for the roads that exist

Suspension, chassis reinforcement and ground clearance are specified against Indian highways, hill passes and unsurfaced approaches — not a European touring standard.

02

Power that survives a week off-grid

Deep-cycle storage and inverter capacity are sized to the actual draw of the cabin, so climate control and cooking do not compete for headroom.

03

Thermal comfort in both extremes

Insulation, glazing and airflow are engineered for a desert afternoon and a Himalayan night, because the same caravan will see both within one season.

04

Serviceable by the people who built it

Systems are laid out for access, and every unit is documented at build. Repairs happen in our workshop, not at a dealership that has never seen one.

Materials

Chosen to age well, not to photograph well.

Leather that softens rather than cracks, timber veneers sealed against humidity, and hardware rated for a vehicle that moves — every material is specified for a decade of road use, not a showroom season.

Where a finish cannot survive Indian conditions honestly, we do not offer it, however well it would render in a brochure.

Built Around You

Your Motohom. Your way.

Eight decisions shape a commission. Everything else follows from them.

Built to Code

The regulations are the floor, not the finish.

State caravan tourism policies set out what a tourist caravan must carry before it can be registered. Every Motohom meets that list — and then keeps going.

Mandated by policy

  • Sofa-cum-bed sleeping at least two
  • Air conditioning throughout the cabin
  • Separate driver-to-passenger communication system
  • GPS, with real-time monitoring
  • Toe-touch stabilisers for level parking
  • Power wheel mover for positioning in tight bays
  • Battery bank plus external hook-up capability
  • Gas or electric water heating
  • External barbecue points
  • Mobile charging throughout

Fitted beyond it

  • Separate grey-water and black-water tanks
  • Eco-friendly waste treatment before discharge
  • Refrigerator, microwave and a full working galley
  • Rain shower and a proper dining table
  • Audio, video and network connectivity
  • Wheelchair-accessible provision on request

Requirements drawn from the Maharashtra Caravan Tourism Policy (2021) and the Kerala caravan tourism framework. Specific fitments vary by class and by the state a caravan is registered in — your build specification confirms exactly what is installed.

Standard Configurations

Three starting points, then it is yours.

Every commission begins from one of these and diverges as far as the brief requires — a touring motorhome, a production vanity van, or a bus-bodied home on wheels for a family.

Commissioning

Before you brief us.

What clients ask most often between a first conversation and a signed specification.

Yes, and more than most buyers expect. State caravan tourism policies set mandatory fitments for tourist caravans — sofa-cum-bed, air conditioning, GPS, a driver-to-passenger communication system, stabilisers, a power wheel mover, water heating and external hook-up capability among them. Kerala additionally defines an ideal length of around 8.5 metres and permits rigid or towed configurations. We build to those requirements as a floor, not a target.

Often yes, subject to an engineering assessment of the chassis, load rating and age. If the base vehicle limits what can be safely built on it we will say so at assessment rather than compromise the build — a caravan that cannot be registered as a tourist vehicle is worth considerably less than one that can.

Typically a few months from confirmed specification to handover, covering design sign-off, engineering, fabrication, interior finishing, systems commissioning and road testing. Your timeline is confirmed in writing before fabrication begins.

Grey water and black water go to separate tanks, and waste is treated before discharge. This is not optional refinement: caravan policy requires that sewage is never discharged to open land or natural water, and a caravan without proper separation is unusable at a registered park.

As much as you want. Most clients sign off at three points — layout, materials and pre-delivery — and receive progress updates in between. You are welcome at the workshop at any stage.

Yes. We build for private commissions, for our own rental fleet, and for operators and businesses commissioning vehicles for their own use, including branded and production-spec fit-outs. Commercial builds are specified to be registrable as tourist caravans from the outset.

Every caravan is handed over with a full systems walkthrough and documentation. Servicing and repair are carried out by the workshop that built it, so there is no dealer network to route through.

Interiors, technology and layout elements can be reworked as needs change. Owners frequently return to add a berth, change a galley or upgrade power once their travel patterns settle.
Commission
