on one side and a good-sized shelving unit on the<br />

other. The door design helps with the spacious feel<br />

of this extra-wide caravan, because its handles are<br />

recessed, giving flat fronts to the cabinetry. The<br />

freestanding table gets its own small cupboard<br />

beneath a ledge that’s set up for a flat-screen TV.<br />

Washroom If I’d just walked into this washroom<br />

★★★ and out again, I think it would have<br />

been a five-star winner. There’s a full-size shower<br />

cubicle with its own mirror, and this also has an Alde<br />

radiator and a hanging rail, so it could form a great<br />

drying space in colder weather. The vanity unit<br />

Above: The opening<br />

panoramic roof window<br />

lets loads of light into the<br />

comfortable living area,<br />

which adjoins a very wellequipped<br />

kitchen<br />

Right: The shower cubicle<br />

has a radiator in it, a<br />

rather cosy arrangement;<br />

the transparent basin<br />

looks very stylish, but is<br />

impossible to keep looking<br />

pristine once you use it<br />

around the swish transparent basin is smart and<br />

practical, with another mirror behind it. There’s<br />

space for toilet rolls in the cupboard beneath and<br />

plenty of shelves for bottles, hidden behind the<br />

side cupboard doors. The room even comes with<br />

its own toilet brush. What’s not to like?<br />

Living inside for a week, however, highlighted<br />

a few limitations. There is space to walk past the<br />

basin, for example, but I found there wasn’t quite<br />

enough room to take off a wet coat easily. A few<br />

more inches could have made all the difference.<br />

And that lovely basin may look great when it’s dry,<br />

but it shows every drip if you try to use it.<br />

Overall impression<br />

★★★★<br />

This is a great,<br />

practical caravan<br />

for two, and should<br />

also work with four<br />

on board. The 2.45m<br />

width makes it<br />

especially spacious<br />

inside, but there’s<br />

a decent-length<br />

drawbar, making it<br />

remarkably easy to<br />

handle on the road<br />

for its size. Just be<br />

aware that you may<br />

need extra-long<br />

towing mirrors.<br />
