Ok, driving me potty... went to the Caravan show at Brum in October and saw a fab 4 berth twin axle caravan with a U shaped dinette at the back, full size fridge freezer with a massiiiiiiive kitchen area. Or just massiiiive. Anyway, it's like our current Swift Charisma 545 but on steroids - lush. Foolishly, we did not take note of make and model, thinking that we would remember what it was and would easily find it. And of course we didn't and can't. Went to Manchester show specifically and of course, it wasn't there. We thought it was a Bailey - had the purple-ish interior - but after speaking to dealers and emailing Bailey, know it's not theirs. Pored over the internet, 'van magazines etc and still can't find it.

Has anyone got any ideas? Or have we lost the plot and imagined it?

Nope, wasn't a Stealth unfortunately - but thanks for posting!

I'm positive we didn't dream it - and am on a mission to figure out what it was!!!

The only thing we could think of is that it was a dealer option to have the U shaped dinette at the back instead of a fixed bed - dealers we spoke to were adamant it wasn't a Bailey... but it bloomin' looked like one. Am on a mission....

Sounds like one of the Hobby vans we looked at the NEC.  Gooooooorgeous!!!  Can't remember the model number but think it was in the Prestige range.  If you look at the Hobby website I think you should find it.

If you saw it at the October 2010 show then it will be a 2011 model, so current, so I would have thought it means simply looking through all the manufacturers' websites till you find it.

Seemples!!

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure!

Thanks Vanessa - I hadn't looked at Hobby - but just had a squiz and it's not one of those (but they are flippin' lush aren't they?).

Thanks Supatramp - we'd tried to do that but have obviously forgotten some manufacturers (like Hobby) - and the layout shape listed in the likes of Practical Caravan magazine's buyers guide only list the Swift (that we've got) and the Bailey Olympus 624 (which doesn't have the full size fridge/freezer).

Hmmm....

It does sound more like a German layout - could it have been Bessacar?  Did Geist have any vans there?  Or what about Adria?  You must let us all know when you find it!
