The Definitive Guide to the 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK (Fiat Automatic)

Introduction

The Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK stands as a prominent figure within the UK’s competitive mid-range coachbuilt motorhome market, particularly around the 2019 model year. Renowned for blending traditional British craftsmanship with contemporary features, the Broadway series appealed to discerning buyers seeking comfort and quality. This guide focuses specifically on the 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK, configured with the desirable Fiat Ducato 2.3-litre automatic diesel powertrain and the practical End Kitchen (EK) layout, often found in its Low Profile (LP) guise.

Auto-Sleepers has cultivated a strong reputation over decades, built upon a foundation of quality construction, thoughtful design, and a loyal customer base.¹ This report delves into the heritage of the Auto-Sleepers brand, provides a detailed examination of the 2019 Broadway EK Automatic model, explores its construction techniques and materials from the era, positions it within the broader Auto-Sleepers range, outlines its standard and optional features (including associated costs), compares it against key competitors from 2019, and incorporates real-world ownership perspectives.

Section 1: Auto-Sleepers – A Legacy of British Motorhome Craftsmanship

1.1 The Auto-Sleepers Story: From Family Project to Industry Leader

The origins of Auto-Sleepers trace back to 1961, not in a boardroom, but from the practical needs of the Trevelyan family. Seeking a different kind of touring holiday, they resourcefully constructed their own motorhome based on a Morris J2 van for a trip to the South of France.¹ Learning from this initial prototype, they refined their design on a second, Austin-based van. This improved version caught the eye of dealers Henlys of Bristol, leading to an order for five more vehicles and the subsequent birth of the Auto-Sleepers company, initially in partnership with local builder Bob Halling.¹

From these humble beginnings, always rooted in the picturesque Cotswolds region, the company grew.¹ Early production centred on popular base vehicles of the time, including Commer, Bedford, and Ford Transit vans.⁵ Establishing direct supply links with manufacturers like the Rootes Group (Commer) proved significant for the fledgling business.⁷

Several key milestones marked Auto-Sleepers’ development. The introduction of the distinctive GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) monocoque body, notably on the SV100 model styled by Aston Martin designer William Towns in the late 1970s, set the brand apart.⁴ This two-piece clamshell design offered strength and reduced leak potential compared to traditional sandwich construction.⁴ Auto-Sleepers also pioneered popular layouts, such as early high-top van conversions incorporating toilet compartments (like the 1981 CX200), which paved the way for modern van conversion designs.⁶ The company expanded its portfolio to include coachbuilt models alongside its van conversions, adapting to market demands.⁵ While the iconic monocoque bodies eventually faded in favour of more conventional (and cost-effective) sandwich construction methods for mainstream models by the late 1990s, the brand’s reputation for quality endured.⁵ The company relocated to its current premises in Willersey in 1992.¹⁰

Ownership transitioned over the years. The Trevelyan family sold the majority share in 1997.⁴ Subsequent ownership changes occurred in 2000, involving figures like Ian Capes, and later acquisition by the Italian SEA Group via the Marquis Leisure group.⁴ A significant management buyout in June 2009 saw Geoff Scott and Mike Crouch, associated with the Trigano Group Ltd and the Marquis dealer network, acquire 100% of the shareholding, returning Auto-Sleepers to British private ownership.³

The company’s genesis, born from personal experience and iterative design improvement, appears to have embedded a user-focused philosophy. The statement that their designers “use and live with our motorhomes” suggests a continued emphasis on practical, well-considered layouts derived from real-world application, which likely contributes to the brand’s enduring appeal and strong customer loyalty.¹ Furthermore, despite the various changes in corporate ownership, the consistent manufacturing base in the Cotswolds and the continued emphasis on hand-craftsmanship and quality materials point to a resilience in the core brand identity.¹ This connection to its heritage and location remains a powerful element of the Auto-Sleepers value proposition, underpinning the “Motorhomes of Excellence” tagline.³

1.2 Made in the Cotswolds: The Willersey Factory and UK Focus

Auto-Sleepers remains firmly rooted in its Cotswolds home. The manufacturing facility is located at Orchard Works, Willersey, a village near Broadway in Worcestershire.¹ This site serves as the heart of the company’s operations, where the design and hand-assembly processes take place.¹¹ The dedicated Auto-Sleepers Service Centre, offering habitation servicing, repairs, MOTs, and accessory fitting, is conveniently located nearby, also in Willersey.⁴

While the company historically exported vehicles to various countries ⁴, its primary focus, particularly in recent decades, has been the robust UK motorhome market.¹ This is supported by a strong network of dealerships across the UK, with the associated Marquis Leisure group – the UK’s largest dealer network – playing a significant role as both a major customer and retail channel.³ Recent announcements regarding significant investment (£8M) in expanding the Willersey site indicate continued commitment to UK manufacturing and anticipated growth.¹⁴

1.3 Reputation and Ethos: Quality, Hand-Finishing, and Owner Loyalty

Auto-Sleepers has cultivated an enviable reputation within the UK leisure vehicle industry, consistently associated with quality, luxury, and innovation.¹ The brand places significant emphasis on its hand-craftsmanship, highlighting the time, care, and skill invested in building each motorhome, particularly evident in the furniture and interior fit-out.¹ This dedication to a high standard of finish contributes to the perception of Auto-Sleepers as “Motorhomes of Excellence”.³

This reputation is reinforced by external validation, including multiple Owner Satisfaction Awards based on independent surveys of motorhome owners – accolades highly sought after within the industry.³ Furthermore, the existence and vibrancy of the Auto-Sleeper Owners’ Club (ASOC), which is officially supported by the factory, underscores the strong sense of community and loyalty among owners.⁵ The club provides a platform for members to share experiences, access technical advice, and benefit from supplier discounts and organised rallies.¹⁵

The company’s strategy involves building on high-quality base vehicles sourced from major manufacturers like Peugeot, Fiat, and Mercedes-Benz, providing a reliable foundation for their conversions.³ This combination of reputable chassis and meticulous British craftsmanship forms the core of the Auto-Sleepers appeal.

Section 2: Focus Model – The 2019 Broadway EK (Fiat Ducato 2.3 Automatic)

2.1 Layout Philosophy: Understanding the End Kitchen (EK)

The “EK” designation in the Broadway EK model name clearly signifies its defining characteristic: an End Kitchen layout.² This configuration places the main kitchen facilities across the rear of the motorhome’s habitation area. Typically, this involves the cooker, sink, and primary work surfaces spanning the back wall, with the washroom situated in one of the rear corners (in the EK TB LP, it’s the offside corner).¹⁷ The lounge area is consequently positioned towards the front of the vehicle, often utilising swivelled cab seats to maximise seating space.¹⁸

End kitchen layouts are a classic and enduringly popular choice, particularly in the UK market. They offer distinct advantages, such as creating a clear separation between the cooking and relaxing zones, potentially containing cooking smells, and often providing generous, uninterrupted kitchen worktop space along the rear wall.¹⁹ However, some users might find the layout feels slightly less open-plan compared to mid-kitchen designs.

The specific Broadway EK variant under review often includes “TB LP” in its name. “TB” denotes the Twin Bench seating arrangement in the lounge, featuring two inward-facing sofas rather than a dinette setup.¹⁷ This configuration maximises lounging comfort and space, creating a very sociable area, especially when the cab seats are swivelled.¹⁸ “LP” signifies the Low Profile body style, which omits the Luton overcab structure (and the additional double bed it typically houses) found on some other Broadway models.¹⁷ This results in a sleeker, more aerodynamic front profile and a slightly lower overall vehicle height compared to high-line versions.¹⁷ It’s worth noting that even on the EK model, a Luton overcab providing two extra berths was available as a no-cost option for those needing four-berth capacity.²⁰

2.2 The Fiat Ducato Heart: Engine, Transmission, and Driving

While the Broadway range was also commonly built on the Peugeot Boxer chassis (typically paired with a manual gearbox and, in 2019, often the 2.0L 160bhp BlueHDi engine) ¹⁷, the automatic transmission option necessitated a switch to the Fiat Ducato base vehicle.¹⁷ For the 2019 model year specified in the user query, this meant the well-regarded 2.3-litre MultiJet II turbodiesel engine.¹⁸ Power outputs for this engine commonly available to motorhome manufacturers were 130bhp, 150bhp (often quoted interchangeably with 148bhp), and 180bhp.²⁵ The 148/150bhp variant appears frequently in listings for the 2019 Broadway Automatic.¹⁷

The automatic transmission paired with the Fiat engine in 2019 was typically the “Comfort-Matic”.²⁵ This is an automated manual gearbox (AMT), rather than a traditional torque converter automatic which became available on Fiat Ducato later.²¹ AMTs offer the convenience of automatic shifting but can sometimes exhibit less smooth changes compared to torque converter units, particularly at lower speeds.²⁶ Opting for the automatic transmission invariably added a significant cost premium over the standard manual gearbox, often in the region of £2,000 to £4,000 depending on the engine power chosen.¹⁷

A notable characteristic of the Fiat 2.3L MultiJet II engines complying with Euro 6 standards around 2019 was their use of Low Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (LPEGR) technology, which generally avoided the need for AdBlue (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) additive.²⁵ This was often seen as a practical advantage by owners, simplifying maintenance and eliminating the cost and hassle associated with keeping an AdBlue tank topped up, compared to competitor systems (including some Peugeot engines) that required it.

Standard cab equipment on the Fiat Ducato base typically included essentials like power-assisted steering, ABS braking with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), driver and passenger airbags, and electric windows and mirrors.²⁵ Features such as cab air conditioning and cruise control were highly desirable but often included as part of the optional Premium Pack rather than being standard fitment on the base vehicle itself.²²

2.3 By the Numbers: Detailed Specifications

Compiling precise specifications for a specific model year can be challenging due to variations in sources and optional equipment fitted. However, based on available data for the 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK, particularly the Twin Bench, Low Profile version with the Fiat 2.3L Automatic powertrain, the following represents a typical specification profile:

Table 1: 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK TB LP (Fiat 2.3 Auto) Key Specifications (Typical)

Feature	Specification	Source(s)
Base Vehicle	Fiat Ducato	17
Engine	2.3L MultiJet II Turbodiesel (Euro 6)	18
Power (Typical)	~148/150 bhp	17
Transmission	Fiat Comfort-Matic Automatic (AMT)	25
Layout	End Kitchen (EK), Twin Bench (TB), Low Profile (LP)	17
Berths	2 (Standard LP) / 4 (Optional FOC Luton)	20
Travel Seats	2 (Standard)	18
Overall Length	~6.32m / 20’9″	17
Overall Width (Mirrors Folded)	~2.32m / 7’7″	20
Overall Height (Low Profile)	~2.97m / 9’9″	17
MTPLM	3500kg	17
MiRO (Est.)	~3100kg	20
User Payload (Est.)	~400kg	Calculated (MTPLM-MiRO)20
Fresh Water Tank	~102 litres	17
Waste Water Tank	~71 litres	17
LPG Tank (Underslung)	25 litres	34
Bed Sizes (TB Layout):
Front Double	~2.10m x 1.84-1.93m (6’11” x 6’0″-6’4″)	17
Nearside Single	~1.93m x 0.68-0.70m (6’4″ x 2’3″-2’4″)	17
Offside Single	~1.84-1.86m x 0.70-0.93m (6’0″-6’1″ x 2’4″-3’1″)	17

Note: MiRO (Mass in Running Order) and Payload are estimates and can vary significantly based on factory options and final specification. Dimensions can also show minor variations between sources.

The payload figure warrants careful consideration. With an estimated payload hovering around 400kg on the standard 3500kg MTPLM chassis, owners need to be mindful of the weight they add.²⁰ This figure must account for passengers, water, clothing, food, optional equipment (like bike racks or satellite dishes), and any personal belongings. While the 3500kg limit allows driving on a standard UK car licence (Category B) for those who passed their test after January 1st, 1997 ⁸, it inherently restricts carrying capacity. Forum discussions suggest the Broadway’s relatively long rear overhang could also make it susceptible to exceeding the rear axle weight limit if loaded heavily towards the back, even if within the overall payload.³⁶ Careful weight management is therefore essential.

Choosing the Fiat automatic transmission (Comfort-Matic) over the standard Peugeot manual gearbox provided driving convenience, particularly in traffic, but it represented a substantial additional cost.¹⁷ The driving experience of an automated manual can differ from a torque converter automatic, sometimes feeling less refined during gear changes.²⁸ However, the practical benefit of the Fiat 2.3L engine’s Euro 6 compliance without requiring AdBlue additive was a tangible advantage for owners in terms of cost and convenience during this period.²⁵

Section 3: Construction & Quality – The Auto-Sleepers Build (c. 2019)

3.1 Body & Shell: GRP Emphasis

Around 2019, Auto-Sleepers constructed their coachbuilt models like the Broadway using a combination of laminated sandwich panels and GRP mouldings.³⁷ The main habitation walls and roof typically featured insulated panels with a GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic, or fibreglass) outer skin.³⁷ This GRP exterior was often highlighted for its durability and resistance to scratches and minor impacts, offering an advantage over traditional aluminium skins which are more prone to denting.⁹ The lower sections of the bodywork were often finished with aluminium skirting panels.¹⁹

While Auto-Sleepers built its early reputation partly on its unique one-piece monocoque GRP bodies ⁴, by this era, the more conventional sandwich panel construction had become the standard for ranges like the Broadway.⁵ This shift was likely driven by factors of cost, production volume, and the ability to compete more directly with other mainstream manufacturers.⁵ Although some contemporary sources mention Auto-Sleepers using “wood-free construction techniques” ⁴⁰, official brochures and descriptions from the period often emphasize traditional hand-craftsmanship alongside advanced technology.⁴¹ This suggests a potential evolution in methods or perhaps a focus on timber replacement in critical structural areas rather than complete elimination throughout the furniture construction, which still received praise for its quality feel. Competitors like Bailey and Elddis were more explicitly promoting fully timber-free body shells (using composite internal skeletons) around this time.⁴³

3.2 Insulation for All Seasons: Grade 3 Certification

A key strength highlighted across the Auto-Sleepers range, including the Broadway, is its thermal insulation performance, certified to Grade 3.¹¹ This is the highest classification under the European standard EN 1646-1, signifying the motorhome’s ability to maintain a comfortable internal temperature of +20°C when the outside temperature drops as low as -15°C.³⁸

This level of insulation makes the Broadway genuinely suitable for year-round touring, a significant advantage for owners wanting to travel outside the main summer season, particularly in the variable UK climate. The construction methods, utilising insulated sandwich panels for the walls and roof, form the basis of this thermal efficiency.³⁷ This capability was often further enhanced by the optional Winter Pack, which typically included heating blankets for the underslung fresh and waste water tanks, upgraded Truma Combi heating, concertina cab blinds for better thermal retention, and wheel arch insulation blankets.²²

3.3 Inside Story: Furniture Quality, Fit, and Finish

Internally, Auto-Sleepers aimed for a premium feel, emphasizing the quality of materials and the hand-finished nature of the construction.¹ Furniture was typically craftsman-built, with attention paid to detail and durability.¹¹ Around 2019, common furniture finishes included the traditional ‘Valencia Wood’, with a lighter ‘Santana’ option also becoming available.²¹ High-quality Reflex foam was used for the upholstery, offered in various fabric choices such as ‘Catalan Mocha’ or ‘Casa Milà’, often complemented by scatter and bolster cushions for added comfort.¹⁹ Features like positive catches on overhead lockers and robust drawer runners contributed to the overall sense of solidity.³⁹

Owner feedback generally reflects this perception of quality, often noting a superior finish compared to some volume manufacturers.⁴⁷ However, even premium brands are not immune to issues. Forum discussions from the period reveal that while the fundamental build was often praised, owners sometimes encountered minor niggles or inconsistencies in fit and finish, potentially attributable to variations in assembly.⁴⁸ The most notable issue specific to the 2019 Broadway EK was the aforementioned problem with the cutlery drawer fouling the handle of the newly introduced Metalarte habitation door – a clear oversight in design integration for that model year.⁴⁷

The focus on traditional craftsmanship and higher-grade interior materials is central to the Auto-Sleepers brand positioning. It justifies, in part, the premium price point compared to mass-market alternatives and appeals strongly to buyers who value a more bespoke, hand-finished interior ambiance over purely functional design.¹ Coupled with the robust Grade 3 insulation and the availability of a comprehensive Winter Pack, the Broadway was well-equipped to meet the demands of the UK market, where the ability to comfortably tour throughout the year is a highly valued attribute.¹¹

Section 4: Market Context – Positioning the Broadway EK (c. 2019)

4.1 The Auto-Sleepers Family: Broadway vs. Siblings

Understanding where the Broadway EK sat within the Auto-Sleepers portfolio in 2019 requires looking at its stablemates. The Broadway range represented a core offering in their coachbuilt line-up, predominantly utilising Peugeot Boxer or Fiat Ducato chassis.³

Compared to the Nuevo range, the Broadway offered more space. The Broadway EK TB LP, at approximately 6.32m long, was essentially a stretched version of the compact Nuevo EK (typically under 6m).¹⁷ This extra length translated primarily into a more expansive front lounge with longer bench seats, enabling comfortable use as single beds without involving the cab seats.¹⁷ The Nuevo, therefore, appealed to those prioritising maximum compactness and manoeuvrability, while the Broadway offered a step up in living space.¹²

Moving up the hierarchy from the standard Peugeot/Fiat coachbuilts were the Corinium models (FB, RB, Duo). These were distinguished by their use of the AL-KO chassis extension.¹¹ The AL-KO chassis is renowned for providing enhanced stability, potentially a higher payload capacity, and a lower floor height compared to the standard manufacturer chassis. Corinium models were generally longer (e.g., Corinium RB at ~7.7m ⁵¹) and positioned as a more luxurious offering within the non-Mercedes coachbuilt segment, often featuring fixed bed layouts.⁴¹

At the pinnacle of the Auto-Sleepers range were the Mercedes-Benz based coachbuilts, such as the Bourton, Burford, Winchcombe, Malvern, and Stanton.¹¹ These models leveraged the premium engineering, advanced safety features, and refined driving experience of the Mercedes Sprinter chassis, often paired with automatic transmission as standard or a readily available option.¹² They commanded the highest price points and represented the brand’s flagship offerings, boasting top-tier specifications and luxury appointments.⁵² The Bourton model, in particular, offered a similar end kitchen/front lounge layout to the Broadway EK but on the Mercedes platform.¹⁷

Therefore, the Broadway range, and the EK variant within it, occupied a crucial middle ground in the 2019 Auto-Sleepers lineup. It provided significantly more interior space and a more traditional coachbuilt feel than the compact Nuevo, appealing to those wanting greater comfort for longer trips. Yet, it remained more accessible in terms of price, dimensions, and potentially weight (staying within the 3500kg category for standard licence holders) compared to the larger, AL-KO chassis Corinium range or the premium Mercedes-based models. It struck a balance, offering a popular and practical layout with a high level of specification and perceived quality, making it a strong contender in the mainstream premium coachbuilt sector.

4.2 Premium Proposition: Target Market

The Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK, particularly with the desirable optional packs fitted, was targeted at discerning buyers, typically couples, seeking a high-quality, well-equipped motorhome for comfortable touring.¹ The emphasis on British build, traditional craftsmanship, Grade 3 insulation for year-round use, and the brand’s strong reputation resonated with customers willing to pay a premium over entry-level or volume-manufactured alternatives.³ While not positioned at the absolute luxury peak occupied by their own Mercedes range or some high-end continental imports, the Broadway firmly sat in the premium mainstream segment of the UK market, reflected in its features and pricing.¹⁷

Section 5: Standard Kit vs. Optional Extras – Equipping the 2019 Broadway EK

5.1 Generous Standard Specification

Auto-Sleepers typically equipped the Broadway range to a high standard, aiming to provide a comprehensive “home-from-home” experience. Based on reviews and listings for the 2019 Broadway EK, key standard features likely included ¹⁸:

• Heating & Hot Water: A Truma Combi system, providing dual-fuel (gas and mains electric) operation for both blown-air space heating and hot water generation, was standard fitment.²⁴ This offered flexibility whether on a site with hook-up or wild camping.
• Kitchen Appliances: The end kitchen was well-appointed with a full domestic-style cooker, featuring a dual-fuel hob (typically three gas burners and one electric hotplate), a separate oven, and a separate grill.²⁰ A microwave oven was also standard, usually fitted at a convenient height.¹⁷ An under-counter refrigerator with a freezer compartment was typical for the EK layout ¹⁷, along with an extractor fan over the hob.¹⁸ A sink with accompanying drainer and worktop extensions completed the setup.¹⁷
• Washroom Facilities: The rear corner washroom featured a Thetford cassette toilet with electric flush.²⁰ A washbasin and vanity storage were included, and the shower utilized a clever swing-wall design, where the wall holding the basin pivots to create a dedicated, curtain-free shower cubicle.¹⁷
• Utilities: A key Auto-Sleepers feature was the standard fitment of an underslung, refillable 25-litre LPG gas tank, offering convenience and potentially cheaper refills compared to exchangeable bottles.³⁴ The electrical system was managed by a Sargent control unit (models like the EC700/EC900 are used currently, a similar system was likely present in 2019) providing fused circuits, battery charging, and level monitoring.²⁰ A leisure battery, mains 230V hook-up point, multiple internal sockets (230V and 12V), and a roof-mounted TV aerial (upgraded to a fixed Maxview unit for 2019) were standard.²⁰ External utility points often included a BBQ gas outlet and a mains electric socket.³⁰
• Safety & Security: Standard safety equipment included smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and a fire extinguisher.⁵⁵ For security, a significant addition for 2019 models was the pre-installation of a Sargent CAT6 vehicle tracker (requiring an annual subscription for monitoring services).¹⁷ The habitation door was upgraded in 2019 to a Metalarte unit featuring central locking integration and a flyscreen.¹⁷
• Comfort & Convenience: The Twin Bench lounge provided comfortable seating, complemented by swivel cab seats.¹⁸ Removable tables (often both a freestanding and a pedestal type) were supplied for dining.¹⁷ A choice of high-quality upholstery fabrics was available ¹⁹, and ample lighting was provided by rooflights and LED fixtures.²⁰

5.2 Desirable Options: The Packs

While the standard specification was comprehensive, Auto-Sleepers offered several option packs that added significant value and were chosen by the vast majority of buyers. The contents and approximate costs for packs available around 2019 were:

Table 2: 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway Optional Packs (Estimated Costs)

Pack Name	Key Contents (Based on 2019 sources)	Approx. Cost (c. 2019)	Source(s)
Premium Pack	Alloy Wheels, Cab Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Thule Canopy Awning, Colour Reversing Camera, Integrated Touchscreen Media Console (DAB Radio/Sat Nav/Bluetooth), 80W Solar Panel	£2,500	17
Winter Pack	Fresh & Waste Water Tank Heater Blankets, Concertina Cab Blinds (in lieu of curtains), Truma Combi Heater Upgrade (e.g., to 6kW or 6E electric element), Wheel Arch Insulation Blankets	£295	17
Media Pack	Automatic Satellite Dish System (e.g., Mecatronic 65cm)	£995	17

The Premium Pack was almost universally regarded as an essential addition.¹⁷ It bundled together many features considered standard on competitor vehicles or highly desirable for modern motorhoming, such as air conditioning, cruise control, an awning, solar panel, and reversing camera. Its inclusion significantly enhanced the vehicle’s comfort, convenience, and usability. The widespread adoption of this pack suggests a potential strategy by the manufacturer to present a lower base price, knowing the pack’s features would make it an almost automatic upsell for most customers. When comparing prices, it’s crucial to consider the cost of the Broadway with the Premium Pack against competitors’ standard specifications.

The Winter Pack, offered at a relatively modest price, provided tangible benefits for owners wishing to use their motorhome throughout the year in the UK.¹⁷ The tank heaters prevented freezing issues, while the upgraded cab blinds and insulation improved thermal efficiency, making the pack excellent value for money for enhancing the vehicle’s standard Grade 3 insulation capabilities.³⁹

The Media Pack catered specifically to users wanting easy access to satellite television while travelling.¹⁷

Other notable factory options included the Fiat automatic (Comfort-Matic) gearbox, which carried a premium of £2,000-£4,000 over the manual.¹⁷ Upgraded upholstery, such as full or half leather, was available at extra cost.²⁰ For the Broadway EK model specifically, the Luton overcab, converting it to a four-berth, was offered as a no-cost option.²⁰ Accessories like bike racks ³⁴ and potentially habitation air conditioning ²⁰ could also be specified.

Section 6: Rival Rundown – The 2019 End-Kitchen Competition

6.1 Identifying the Contenders

To place the 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK in context, it’s necessary to identify its key competitors from the same period. The criteria for selection include: UK market availability, primarily 2-berth configuration, coachbuilt construction, an end kitchen layout, similar dimensions (around 6.3m), and occupying a comparable premium mainstream market segment and price point.

Based on these criteria and market knowledge from the time:

• Auto-Trail Tracker EKS: This model emerges as the most direct competitor. It was widely available, typically built on a Fiat Ducato base, measured around 6.4m in length, featured an end kitchen layout, and was offered as a 2-berth low-profile (with high-line options sometimes available).⁶⁰ It occupied a similar market position to the Broadway.⁶²
• Bailey Autograph Range: Bailey’s top-tier range in 2019 was the Autograph.⁴³ However, finding a direct end-kitchen equivalent to the Broadway EK within the 2019 Autograph line-up proves difficult based on available model information. Models like the 74-4 featured French beds ⁶⁴, while others had different configurations. Earlier Bailey ranges (like Approach Autograph) had end kitchens, but not in the contemporary 2019 Autograph series at this size. Comparison might therefore focus on overall build philosophy (Alu-Tech construction ⁴³), specification level, and price positioning rather than a direct layout match.
• Elddis Encore Range: Positioned as the premium Elddis offering (below the now-discontinued Buccaneer brand), the Encore range featured high specifications, including Alde wet central heating as standard.⁶⁵ However, like the Bailey Autograph, the 2019 Encore range does not appear to have included a direct end-kitchen model analogous to the Broadway EK.⁶⁶ The Encore 250 featured an island bed ⁶⁵, while the 275 had an end washroom.⁶⁸ Lower Elddis ranges (Autoquest/Accordo) offered end kitchens but at a different specification and price level.⁴⁶
• Swift Group Ranges (Swift, Bessacarr): Swift’s extensive portfolio included ranges like Bessacarr (positioned similarly to Auto-Sleepers/Auto-Trail) and Escape.⁷⁰ Again, identifying a specific 2019 model from these ranges that directly matched the Broadway EK’s layout, size, and market position is challenging based on common models reviewed.⁷⁰

The relative scarcity of direct end-kitchen competitors in the premium ~6.3m coachbuilt segment from major UK manufacturers like Bailey and Elddis in 2019 highlights that Auto-Sleepers and Auto-Trail were strongly catering to this specific, traditionally favoured British layout preference. Other manufacturers may have prioritized fixed-bed or rear-lounge layouts in their comparable ranges during that period.

6.2 Head-to-Head: Broadway EK vs. Auto-Trail Tracker EKS (Primary Comparison)

Given its similarities in layout, size, base vehicle, and market position, the Auto-Trail Tracker EKS provides the most relevant comparison point for the 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK.

Table 3: Competitor Comparison: 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK Auto vs. 2019 Auto-Trail Tracker EKS

Est. 2019 Price (New)	~£63,000+ (inc. Premium Pack)	~£55,000 – £60,000+ (inc. packs)

• Layout & Size: Both models offer the classic British end kitchen/front lounge layout favoured by many couples. The Auto-Trail is marginally longer, but overall dimensions are very comparable.¹⁷ Both provide spacious lounges thanks to the twin bench seats and swivel cab seats.¹⁹
• Construction & Quality: Both manufacturers utilize modern bonded construction techniques with GRP elements, aiming for durability and thermal efficiency suitable for the UK climate.³⁷ Both offer long water ingress warranties. Subjective perceptions of build quality vary; Auto-Sleepers often cultivates an image of more hand-finishing and potentially plusher interiors ¹, while Auto-Trail is seen as robust and practical.⁸⁰ Forum discussions reveal both brands have faced quality control criticisms at times, suggesting neither is immune to production variances.⁴⁸
• Utilities: This area reveals key practical differences. The Auto-Trail Tracker EKS boasts significantly larger fresh (135L vs 102L) and waste (85L vs 71L) water tanks, offering greater capacity for off-grid stays.²⁰ Conversely, the Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK features a standard underslung 25L refillable LPG tank, providing convenience for gas refills (especially abroad) and freeing up internal/external locker space compared to the Tracker’s traditional gas locker system requiring bottle exchanges.³⁴ Heating systems (Truma Combi blown air) are typically similar.²⁴
• Payload: Both models operate close to payload limits on the standard 3500kg chassis, requiring careful weight management. Figures suggest the Broadway EK might have had a slight edge in payload (~400kg vs ~310-360kg), though this depends heavily on the exact specification and MiRO calculation.²⁰ The Tracker EKS was sometimes available with an upgraded 3650kg chassis, offering more payload but potentially requiring a C1 licence category.⁶¹
• Specification & Price: Both were well-specified, especially when optional packs (Premium/Winter for AS, Media/SE for AT) were included. Direct comparison requires matching pack contents, but headline prices were likely in a similar bracket, reflecting their premium mainstream positioning.²⁷ The choice often came down to brand preference, specific interior design choices, and the weighting given to the differing water tank and gas system configurations.

The most tangible day-to-day differences for potential owners lie in the utility systems: the Tracker EKS offers greater water autonomy, while the Broadway EK provides superior gas system convenience. These practical distinctions, alongside subjective preferences for interior design and perceived build quality, likely formed the core decision-making factors between these two closely matched rivals in 2019.

Section 7: Real-World Insights – Living with the Broadway EK

7.1 Owner Experiences and Reviews

Feedback from owners and reviewers provides valuable real-world context beyond brochure specifications. For the 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK, several themes emerge:

Common Positives:

• Lounge Comfort: The twin bench lounge is consistently praised for its spaciousness and comfort, providing an excellent area for relaxing and entertaining.¹⁷
• Kitchen Functionality: The end kitchen layout is generally well-regarded for its equipment level (full cooker, microwave) and decent worktop space, aided by extensions.¹⁷
• Build Quality Feel: Many users appreciate the solid feel of the furniture and fittings, contributing to the overall perception of quality.¹⁹
• Heating and Insulation: The Grade 3 insulation and effective Truma heating system receive positive mentions, making it suitable for year-round use.³⁸
• Underslung LPG Tank: The convenience of the refillable underslung gas tank is often cited as a significant advantage.³⁵
• Standard Equipment: The level of standard kit, particularly when the Premium Pack is included, is considered high.⁵⁵

Common Criticisms/Niggles (Especially for 2019 Models):

• The Cutlery Drawer Issue: This is the most frequently cited and significant flaw specific to 2019 Broadway EK models. The introduction of the new Metalarte habitation door with its larger internal handle meant the top cutlery drawer could only be opened a few inches before fouling the handle, making it extremely impractical.⁴⁷ Owners reported needing to open the main habitation door to access cutlery fully, a highly inconvenient workaround.⁴⁷ This appears to be a clear design integration oversight for that specific model year and door combination. Prospective buyers of used 2019 EK models absolutely must check this specific point, as it significantly impacts kitchen usability.
• Payload Limitations: As discussed earlier, the payload on the 3500kg chassis can be tight, requiring careful management, especially if carrying bikes or lots of gear.³⁶ The long rear overhang can also contribute to concerns about rear axle loading.³⁶
• Minor Build Quality Issues: While generally well-regarded, some owners reported minor quality control issues or niggles requiring rectification, such as trim fitment, plumbing details, or component failures (like water pumps).⁴⁸
• Firm Upholstery: Some users find the standard Reflex foam upholstery quite firm for sleeping and recommend using a mattress topper for added comfort.¹⁹
• Exhaust Trim: The downward-pointing exhaust trim fitted on some 2019 models was reported to occasionally ground on pronounced speed bumps.⁴⁷
• Habitation Door Strut: The pneumatic strut on the Metalarte door was sometimes felt to not hold the door fully open, making it potentially vulnerable to wind gusts.¹⁹

The cutlery drawer issue stands out as a notable anomaly for the 2019 Broadway EK. It serves as a reminder that even reputable manufacturers can experience integration problems when introducing new components, and highlights the importance of thorough pre-purchase inspections on used vehicles, focusing on known potential issues for specific model years.

7.2 Used Market Snapshot

As of mid-2025, used examples of the 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK with the Fiat Automatic transmission and typical mileage (e.g., ~20,000 miles) are advertised in the UK market for approximately £58,000 to £64,000.²⁷ Prices will naturally vary based on condition, exact mileage, fitted options, and seller type (dealer vs. private).

One should not be sidetracked by manual transmissions. It’s not just the gearbox that is different. The entire chassis is different. Running on the Peugeot with a 2.0L engine, the Fiat is a 2.3 in the automatic variant. which commands a considerably extra premium.

Auto-Sleepers motorhomes generally enjoy a reputation for strong residual values, reflecting their desirability, perceived build quality, and brand heritage.⁸² This means that while the initial purchase price is premium, they tend to depreciate less rapidly than some other brands.

Potential buyers considering a used 2019 Broadway EK Automatic should:

1. Verify Specification: Confirm the presence of desired optional packs (Premium and Winter packs are highly recommended).
2. Inspect Thoroughly: Pay close attention to the operation of the cutlery drawer relative to the habitation door handle. Check for any signs of water ingress As with all motorhomes. (though less common with GRP bodies),as these GRP bodies do not absorb moisture. inspect furniture condition, and test all appliances and systems.
3. Check Payload: Understand the vehicle’s specific MiRO and calculate the available payload to ensure it meets requirements. Consider getting a weighbridge check if possible.
4. Review Service History: Ensure regular habitation and base vehicle servicing has been carried out.

Section 8: Conclusion

The 2019 Auto-Sleepers Broadway EK, particularly in its Fiat Automatic guise, represented a compelling proposition within the UK’s premium mainstream coachbuilt motorhome market. Its key strengths lay in the reputable Auto-Sleepers brand heritage, the high perceived quality of its British build and hand-finished interior, and a comfortable, practical end-kitchen/twin-lounge layout favoured by many couples. The comprehensive standard specification, significantly boosted by the near-essential Premium and valuable Winter packs, coupled with excellent Grade 3 insulation, made it genuinely suitable for comfortable year-round touring. The standard underslung LPG tank and pre-installed tracker system added further layers of convenience and security.

However, the model was not without its weaknesses. The payload capacity on the standard 3500kg chassis required careful management, potentially limiting the amount of gear or number of occupants that could be carried legally and safely, especially given the model’s rear overhang. Furthermore, the 2019 model year suffered from a specific and significant design flaw where the newly introduced habitation door handle obstructed the main cutlery drawer in the end kitchen – a major practical annoyance. As with many motorhomes, occasional reports of minor quality control issues also surfaced, despite the overall high standard. Finally, its premium positioning meant a higher purchase price compared to volume manufacturers.

The 2019 Broadway EK Automatic was ideally suited to couples seeking a high-quality, comfortable, and well-equipped motorhome from a respected British manufacturer. Its target audience valued the traditional layout, year-round usability provided by excellent insulation, and the convenience features like the underslung gas tank. It appealed to those prepared to invest in perceived quality and brand reputation, while being mindful of managing the payload within the 3500kg limit.

As a used purchase today, the 2019 Broadway EK remains an attractive option due to its strong residuals and inherent quality. However, prospective buyers must be particularly vigilant regarding the cutlery drawer issue specific to this model year. If this flaw is present and deemed unacceptable, or if payload capacity is a major concern, alternatives might need consideration. Overall, it stands as a testament to Auto-Sleepers’ enduring formula of blending traditional craftsmanship with modern touring needs, albeit with a notable asterisk for the 2019 EK variant’s kitchen ergonomics.
