Put teenagers in an awning or tent!!!!(Separate if necessary!)

Really its what suits you best.

How about having the twin dinette layout & sleeping the two eldest in the awning or pup tent?

Regarding the gas guzzler I drive a Terrano and it's horrendous on fuel, luckily I work from home & only use it to ferry the dogs to the common and shopping on a Sunday but my last £20 only got me 64 miles.

It's a 2.7 diesel

That is poor- our Sorento does 30mpg solo, sometimes more if light footed!

Perhaps it needs attention.New filters injector clean maybe.

Hello we have a 14 year old son, ,,,,,,getting to the point of not wanting to come, when he does and brings a mate they like the annexe or a pup tent however we do have a fixed bed so have managed,,,,,i know where you are coming from its soooo hard to find the right layout as children grow and change !!!! haha

still have to say my caravan is the best layout Ihave seen todate. the problem I have allways had is the traffic jam and loitering around the entrance esp with children. and the in and out to and throw.  cant see why the design is not seen more. I know its a tad long (21ft inc A frame) for many cars and homes. but never the less. when there is four or more its great to have the space and room.  and at under 1300kg fully laoded light also.

always used a two man tent for the boys. inside the awning so no need for the fly sheet. once they are up and awake just let the top down leave air bed inside and slide the lot under the van.  height allowing.
