We have one and we looooove it. had a few silly warranty bits done but the work top is massive, loads of cupboard space, kids can play at table whilst we use sofas, the storage under third bunk is great although having need for only two bunks i would have waited a year and got the two bunk one . Lots dealers doing slightly diffo ones with small front locker door etc. large rear locker/under bunk is brilliant. It does seem to have a tendancy to like to be a bit front heavy to tow well but it does tow really well. heating really good, we did new year in snow and was cozy. sun roof is lovely for looking at sky and letting in light. front box a goot size and  step on A frame useful. I love it and as I say only dissapointment is we didnt change the year after when could have had 2 bunks and oldest have bit more room . although she can get in, a light at head end means she doesnt have to turn round and can reverse out easily, better than the major 6 we had before. happy shopping

Ooh thank yu...we ow have a problem as we thought my husbands can would be able to tow it, but apparently not, and not too sure whether our galaxy can, although. Think it can. I have posted the following on a separate thread, but am yet to get answers...are you able to hel at all?


Sorry I am new to all this, but we are looking to get a caravan and needs to establish which vehicle can tow it, and in turn what towing cavity the vehicles have.

Behicle 1) Ford Galaxy 2.2....GW 2505 GTW 4255, am I right in beleiving that we could tow something up to 1750...but taking into account the85% rule that would leave it at 1487?

Second vehicle Ford Transit T280DCIV GW2800 GTW 3500 so could tow up to 700..which is pretty useless for us!

Have I calculated that correct? I have read many websites but don't quite understand it!

What 6 berth family caravans are out there that meet to 1487 assuming I am right?

Sorry!

you wont find many twin axles at that weight so look at the singles. we also looked at Eldiss as well i think. look on highbridge caravans website it is very usefull and caravan finder is another easy to use site . you can search by weight/layout
