Luxury, comfort and a very good reason to take the scenic route home…
Some motorhomes are simply a means of getting you from A to B.
The 2024 Roller Team Pegaso 740 has rather different ideas.
This is an A-Class motorhome designed around the things that really matter when you're away: space, comfort, easy driving, a proper bedroom, a generous lounge and the freedom to stay somewhere beautiful for a few extra days.
And with its automatic gearbox, 140bhp diesel engine, fixed island bed and four-berth layout, it has all the ingredients for some seriously enjoyable touring.
Better still, this is a one-owner example, registered in 2024 and supplied new by us, and available now as part of Continental Leisure's PreLoved range.
A-Class comfort starts at the front
Step into the Pegaso 740 and the first thing you appreciate is the sheer openness of the A-Class design.
Rather than feeling like you're sitting in a converted van, the cab becomes part of the living environment.
The swivel cab seats create a generous lounge area when you're parked, while the large windscreen gives the driver and passenger an excellent view of the road ahead.
And when you're travelling, the 140bhp 2,184cc diesel engine and automatic transmission make life behind the wheel pleasantly straightforward.
No wrestling with a gear lever in traffic.
No frantic gear changes on steep Welsh hills.
Just select drive and enjoy the journey.
There's also cruise control, cab air conditioning, rear parking sensors, reversing camera, Bluetooth, DAB radio and multifunction steering wheel controls, making longer journeys considerably more relaxed.
Then there's the bit that really matters – the living space
The Pegaso 740 is a proper four-berth motorhome, but it's the way that space is arranged that makes this model particularly appealing.
The fixed island bed at the rear gives you something many motorhome owners eventually decide they can't live without:
A proper bedroom.
No nightly wrestling match with cushions.
No rearranging the lounge before you can go to bed.
No pretending that making up a bed is "part of the adventure".
Just walk to the rear of the motorhome and your bedroom is waiting.
The island bed provides excellent access from both sides, while twin wardrobes give you somewhere sensible to put the clothes you definitely didn't need to pack but brought anyway.
And when guests come along…
The Pegaso doesn't stop at two.
The lounge incorporates a pull-down bed, giving the motorhome accommodation for four people, with four travelling seats and three-point seatbelts on all travelling seats.
That makes it an excellent choice for couples wanting flexibility, or families who want the freedom to bring everyone along.
During the day, you've got a comfortable social space.
At night, the clever layout transforms it into additional sleeping accommodation.
It's rather like having a spare bedroom that disappears when you don't need it.
A kitchen designed for proper meals
There's a big difference between having a kitchenette and having a kitchen.
The Pegaso 740 has the latter.
The cooking facilities include a three-burner hob with glass lid, full oven and grill, along with a three-way fridge with freezer.
So you can cook something more ambitious than beans on toast.
Although, to be fair, beans on toast taste considerably better when you're eating them overlooking the sea.
There's also plenty of practical storage, soft-close drawers, an onboard water tank and a gas and electric water-heating system.
Everything you need to make life on the road feel much more like home.
Your own bathroom – no campsite queues required
The separate bathroom is another big advantage of the Pegaso 740.
There's a separate shower cubicle, swivel-style cassette toilet, vanity sink with illuminated mirror, full washroom facilities, storage and the privacy you'd expect from a larger motorhome.
So when you're parked somewhere remote and the nearest facilities are several fields away, you'll be very glad you chose the Pegaso.
Made for outdoor living
The Pegaso 740 isn't designed simply to keep you indoors.
Outside, there's a wind-out awning, bike rack, external gas BBQ point and an external shower for rear use.
That means you can create your own little outdoor living area wherever you park.
Picture it:
Awning out.
Chairs underneath.
Something cold in the fridge.
Bikes ready to go.
And absolutely nowhere you need to be until Monday.
That's the point of owning a motorhome like this.
Comfort doesn't stop when the sun goes down
The Pegaso is equipped for touring beyond the traditional summer season.
There's blown-air heating, a gas and electric water heater, 12V LED low-energy lighting, LED reading lights, flyscreens and night blinds.
There's also a leisure battery, battery charger, mains electric and solar panel to help keep everything running while you're away.
In other words, this isn't just a fair-weather holiday home.
It's a motorhome you can use when the forecast is doing its best to put you off going.
Why this particular Pegaso 740?
Because it gets a lot of things right.
The A-Class layout gives you an airy, spacious interior.
The fixed island bed gives you bedroom comfort.
The automatic gearbox makes driving easy.
The 140bhp diesel engine gives you plenty of capability for touring.
The four-berth layout means you're not restricted to travelling as a couple.
And the extensive equipment list means you can arrive at your destination and start enjoying yourself rather than spending the first hour figuring out what you've forgotten.
It's also a one-owner 2024 example, which makes this a particularly attractive opportunity for anyone looking for a modern, well-equipped automatic motorhome without stepping into the cost of a brand-new example.
Ready for its next adventure
The Roller Team Pegaso 740 is available now at £69,995 from Continental Leisure Vehicles.
And because it's part of the Continental PreLoved range, it comes with their care package including a full habitation service, mechanical service, minimum Three-month warranty and new MOT (if needed) for additional peace of mind. Finance is also available.
So perhaps it's time to stop saying:
"One day we'll get a motorhome."
Because one day has a habit of turning into another year.
This Pegaso is already here.
The engine is ready.
The island bed is made.
The awning is waiting to be rolled out.
All you really need to decide is where you're going first.

The scenic route is now the sensible route.
