65 YEARS BY YOUR SIDE

Every minute, every hour, every day is a surprise for anyone who wants to seize it. In 1962, a young man created a caravan in his father’s joinery workshop. That was the beginning of the story. At the end of the 70s, a trip to the United States inspired Pilote’s founder to create the first motorhome and, with it, a completely new way of experiencing holidays. More freedom, independence and an unprecedented scent of adventure.

Since 1962, our high standards take you further

That is why each of the 900 people working within our team cultivates the requirement, the concern for quality and the respect for the customer inherited generation after generation. Innovation and experience, industrial processes and artisanal methods, creativity and reliability, there is all of that in each of the Pilote motorhomes, campervans and converted vans.

THE STORY CONTINUES, WITH YOU

1962

The first caravan is built in La Limouzinière by André Padiou in his father’s cabinet-making workshop. He then set up his own company.

1965

The workshop becomes too small. The first factory is built nearby. The premises were extended several times until 1975.

1976 – 1978

A trip to the USA inspired the company to produce its first motorhome model: the R430 nasturtium. It was to have been called Rally, but at the last minute it was renamed Pilote. The company was a pioneer in its field. It also recorded its first foreign sales.

1981

The company invents the profile concept. As business grows, Pilote expands its production facilities.

1985

Pilote releases its first all-in-one model, the R800DA.

1992

Pilote makes motorhoming accessible to all with the launch of the First by Pilote range.

1999

Paris-Dakar: a camper van, piloted by Laurent Bourgnon, takes part in the race for the first time. This event inspired the brand’s new slogan: “Inhabit the planet”.
