Hi Ulti_Mates
Have a look at the Trigano Silver range. The are expensive, even second hand, but they do hold their value exceptionally well. They are a doddle to tow, ours is 1000kg fully laden. OH is happy to tow it, even on the continent. When folded down it is under 2 metres tall, and with a full size pop-up roof there is loads of room inside. It is beautifully equipped inside with U shaped seating and just about all the mod cons you would ever need. Its quite low to the ground so getting in and out only requires a single step, however it goes on
ferries and over speed bumps fine.
We swapped our large Bailey for this, and find it far more convenient. A decent sized loo, with a shower for when we need it, a big enough kitchen for two, and a brilliant full size awning (I must change my gallery photo) which is small enough to fit in the side locker next to the spare wheel. Just the fibreglass poles go in the boot of the car for convenience. The bedding (including a memory foam topper) all rolls up together, and simply drops into the full width front locker together with all the pillows.
But the real thing is that it is no longer a chore to get out, pack and tow. It has loads of storage room, and these days everything has its place.
Its incredibly warm, being a bonded glassfibre/blue foam/ply construction, and even in the middle of winter, a tiny half kilowatt oil filled radiator on at half is enough to keep it toasty. We also have warm air heating, but not a lot of use at night due to the noise.
Ours is now 3 years old, has been used for about 120 nights, and has travelled 12,000 miles, but it still looks and feels like new.
A BIG yes to all of this, ours hasn't been taken abroad but everything elase applies. We love our Silver
