The Citroën C25, produced from 1981 to 1993 (and rebadged as the C25 until 1994), is the French twin of the Fiat Ducato I and Peugeot J5. It is one of the most iconic base vehicles for 1980s and early 1990s camper vans (camping-cars).
If you are looking at a used C25 camping-car, here is the essential technical data you need to know. | Parameter | Measurement | |-----------|-------------| | Length (chassis cab) | 4.58 m (long wheelbase) | | Wheelbase | 2.92 m (LWB) or 2.35 m (SWB – rare for campers) | | Width | 1.81 m | | Height (bare chassis) | ~2.0 m (campers add 1.8–2.1 m) | | Unladen weight (base) | ~1,400 – 1,550 kg | | Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR) | 2,800 – 3,250 kg (depending on homologation) | | Payload (after conversion) | Typically 400–600 kg | ⚠️ Most C25 campers are on the long wheelbase (2.92 m) with a GVWR of 2,800 kg (later models: 3,100 kg). 2. Engines (Motorisations) The C25 camping-car rarely has the small 1.8L petrol. You will almost exclusively find diesel engines for torque and economy.
