It might be a good idea when you are looking for a caravan to take you children with you and that way you should get a reasonable idea as to how you would cope in a 4 berth. Not forgetting what others have said about matching the weight of any caravan with you towing vehicle.

Good Luck and enjoy both the searching for a van and the holidays thereafter.

I think (having twin 4yr olds myself) that the fixed end bunks are great.We have a 6berth and it's ideal.Having the awning obviously doubles the space and is great,but you have to look at the weight of the 'van you are towing.

We tow an Avondale Dart 556-6 which is light at 1300kg MTPLM.Pulled by a Volks Touran easily and we tow at 33mpg often as it's diesel.Make sure you're within the 85% towing capabilities and get the biggest,lightest 'van you can i'd say!With your budget you're probably end up with a 3-4yr old 'van at that size.

we have 2 kids also 4 and 7 and went for the 550-6 (not available any more?) for the end fixed bunks and is a match for our mondeo also it is all down to you and what you want really look around we looked at hundreds before we settled on ours then just checked weights were ok on what tow car

then went back and haggled
