Hi,
Thanks for adding me, I am looking for some advice, we want to buy a second hand caravan but we have a very specific width problem.

We would be looking for at best 6ft wide, at a push 6ft 6in.

Can anyone offer advice as to brands or names that we can search for when looking.

Many thanks

David

Eriba Puck, 5ft 5" & Eriba Super Puck 5ft 11", the larger Eribas are all 2mtres wide which is just over 6ft 6". The Dutch Kip Kompackt is also less than 6ft wide but not many about in the UK. Freedom caravans are 2mtres as are the current Trigano poptops but worth looking at older poptops, Rapidos etc that might be under but at this width it will be a small caravan.

I can't remember our dimensions but I know ours is very narrow. So if you're looking for new/newish look at Trigano Silver models or for older models there's the likes of our Fleurette or Rapido.
Or perhaps consider a folding camper?
Good luck finding what you need.

Excitedly making camping plans for this year.... just can't make up my mind at the moment!

We have a Trigano Silver 310TDL, 2 berth with 'L' shaped seating, it's 1.8m wide - around 5'11". With toilet, basin, hob & fridge & we love it! Don't know where you live but try this website - Linky

Lots to see, we bought our last 3 vans from them, very helpful people.

Have a look at the pic on my gallery.

Perhaps a compass lynx or abbey Iona would fit the bill

The Freedom Jetstream or Sunseeker are definitely will fit your requirements and the Microlite which is 6 foot 2
