I can see a small demand for bigger vans from people wanting them on seasonal pitches, such as the Bailey Retreat.

Some demand for wider vans is coming from increasing popularity of transverse island bed layouts, which work much better on a wider van in terms of navigating your way around the end of the bed to the bathroom.

Of the 59 models that Hobby offer 32 are of 2.3mtre width. As the smaller caravans are sold in greater numbers than the larger models one could conclude that the majority of Hobby output of 100 ‘vans a day is in fact 2.3mtres wide not 2.5.

I suspect wider but shorter gives a more stable outfit for towing and probably gives a more efficient layout.

Given most of the Elddis models sold out last year, i heard stories of pre ordering their 2018 model in March last year. There is obviously a lot of people who think the 8ft is important.

We actually choose the standard width as we thought the layout was better with bunks
