Hi all, were looking at a 2 berth caravan, but our worry is our driveway, as it goes down side of the house then a wall is at the other side
were looking at a elldis mistral, it says its 7ft2, our drive its 7ft4 wide, but does the widths include the wheel arches and vents that stick out down the side??
a standard 7.2 inch wide i do not think it includes anything sticking out like water heater and spats.just measured mine and its 7.3 without spats and heater.

It will not fit, trust me I have tried the same thing. My previous van, a fleetwood was listed at 7'3". I had a similar gap at the side of my house between the house and a fence. This measured at 7'6".
Ideal I thought, it had no chance, what with all the bits that stick out either side of the van, it was never going to go. Gave up and put it in storage.
I'm confused by this, when totals are quoted, they should be bang on.
If internal widths are quoted, then add the width of the walls, then strict regulation says none of the original fittings is allowed to stick out from the van more than 30mm, making a total of 60mm on the outside width of the walls.
