Hi we are looking at 6 berth vans and have seen the Bailey ranger GT 60 540/6 (like this one)

and the Sprite Major 6.

What other 6 berths should i be looking at as i have no idea on caravans and only use to our 4 berth m-home.

Thanks Niall

Very bad customer service off the HQ and main dealer for parts for my M-home.

Got a short list of the Baiey GT 60 540/6

and the Sprite major ,swift charisma and abbey safari 540

But like the Bailey the more i look at it

Just see what the boss says when i take her and the tribe tomorrow

Thanks Niall

We bought a sprite major 6 about 6 weeks ago and have just returned from or 1st holiday, we have had a lovely time and it is a fantastic layout for us. We had me, hubby, mum, dad and 5 year old and it was great. Needed to be a bit imaginative on use of spcae but it was great, the van was really comfy and we had plenty of space for sleeping, eating etc...

we have just got back from 1st trip out with our new van, Adria altea 542dk, its brilliant light weight van. Has a triple bunk layout with large end washroom, essential as we have 3 teenage daughters & 7yr old! Loads of living space even room to all sit round table for dinner. We found it a better layout than the bailey triple bunk as its more open the bailey felt very enclosed, & the adria has good amount of kitchen space. We thought there wouldn't be much storage, but the cupboards are really deep we even had empty ones!(which is saying something when you see the amount of stuff teenagers want to take!) Have a look a look a Broadlane Lesuire website they have loads there. Happy hunting

We have an Abbey Aventura, like it because the back bunks are much wider and longer than others we looked at good luck with your hunt

We have a Pageant S7 Bretagne (a slightly bigger Ranger 540/6 with a bit more kit) and the major advantage over the Major 6 for us was the end bedroom so there is somewher to get changed and a separate room to give our daughter some space.  The bunks on all the Bailey triple bunks (Ranger 540/6, Pageant S7 Bretagne and Senator (California I think)) are 6' 1" long.  However the bunks on the Adrias are quite a bit wider.

Thank you all for your reply

Took the other half at weekend and showed her the sprite major, Bailey gt60 and a s7 charisma 6 birth thing twin axle and shower the size of bury

she loved the s7,  but the 17K price and the fact we would have to buy a new car also didn't go down to well.

But she loved the ranger GT60, plus this one has 3 seperate front windows and not a one piece window like many other vans.
