Hi we currently have a Bailey Ranger 510/4.  We are thinking of upgrading to a 6 berth caravan with fixed bunks and either the wetroom centre bathroom with the pivoting wall (single axle)  or a twin axle with side fixed bunks and "proper bathroom" with seperate shower.

Anyone got any advice, we rally a lot and think the fixed bunks will save time not having to set up, but i'm really not sure about it sacrificing our lovely end bathroom. 

If we have a twin axle we'll have to watch the MTPLM but there is only four of us.

We have the Bailey Ranger 550/6 and love it - we have three children aged 12, 10  and 7 - the layout works really well - and like you we wanted a van with easy set up - we leave the bunks made up - the wetroom isn't very big but is functional - interestingingly it's not possible to actually put the shower head into the wall holder so you do have to use it as a hand shower but i don't mind that. The weight is excellent too.

Hi we have bought a Lunar Quasar 615 twin axle ,fixed bunks, small wet room but with a seperate shower. I think the fixed bunks are great and save so much time and, in our case having a seperate room for the kids is great!

we bought our Ace Jubilee Courier because of the fixed bunks at the back, we also do mostly rallies now and have found the wetroom to work fine for us (including shower) and the fixed bunks are brilliant as it is 2 less beds to make up on a night and put away in the morning.  The kids also love having their own space.  Not had an end bathroom yet so fortunately can't miss it, so it's really weighing up what's more important for you when you're away
