I have just noticed the new 2007 Cabanon Stratos XL trailer tent has a dedicated kitchen area:

New for 2007 Modèle vendu exclusivement avec bloc cuisine Standard features include : - Two large and comfortable bedrooms, and have ventilated windows and outside flaps - It is supplied with cabin roof lining and curtains and reovable mattress and seat covers. A jockey wheel and spare wheel and carrier are also included as standard. Awning Features include : - Dimensions : 3,5 m (deepth) x 5 m

I wonder if the 2007 Biscaya tents will also have this kitchen area?

On the Cabanon website the 400 (same dimensions as Stratos) has this design, but not the 500 (yet?).  It would probably make the 500 a bit too wide if it needed a guide rope to the side.  the 400 is still polycotton (not that I can tell any difference between the fabric on our Biscaya and friend's Aruba).

It's probably just me, but this seems a bit unnecessary for the Biscaya - it doesn't improve the symmetrical looks and we prefer to cook outside under the canopy anyway.  I also like the fact that the Biscaya is only tensioned from 3 straps on the frontt, which keeps the width down.  It's probably brilliant for Stratos owners who want the Cabanon kitchen unit.

This new Stratos XL is 500 wide, the same width as the Biscaya 500.

Cabanon have changed their website since I looked, yesterday, and as you rightly say they now show the 440 with the kitchen extension. I wonder if they will change all the Biscaya range, in time?

Nope, just found that the 370 is still being quoted as cotton canvas:

'New material for 2007 : canvas in cotton
- Large, fully enclosed, living space
- Roll-away front panel
- Fixed front sun canopy'

I wonder if their website is still being updated, or if we shall in fact see these variations in the 2007 Biscaya (440 with kitchen extension but others not, 370 available in a choice of the current coated polyester, lightweight polyester or cotton canvas)?

Boy does that Stratos look good or what?

I want one.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the Biscaya right enough

I want one of them too
