Hi we recently saw a sprite (think it was anyway!) which had a fixed rear bed and a fixed 2 person dining area (that converted in bunks) - not so bothered about it converting, but loved the layout of the fixed bed and permanant dining table in the middle of the van with the lounge at the front. we are hoping to buy something similar in the next twelve months or so.

can anyone recommend any models that have a similar arrangement please of fixed bed, permanant dining area and seperate lounge area, so we can make an informed choice?

thanks

Sounds like a 6 berth : Loads here :

thanks, any views on caravan movers? i know its big for two people, but hell, we like the space (but not each other )

We have a Reich and haven't had any problems at all. I don't think they hang lower at all. I think it's just the fact that they actually do have a casing which can get damaged whereas most others don't have one at all. Although I haven't seen any that are damaged. There was a comparisen on here a while back that showed all the clearances and Reich weren't the lowest. They certainly seem to be the most reliable compared to any others anyway !!!

Anyway. If you have a mover, the space to store it, and the car to pull it, then a big van should give you no problems. Even with our small two berth we use the mover to hitch, unhitch, position on pitch - everything infact. We don't manhandle it at all. That's what the mover is for isn't it ! I think you need two on a twin axel though so it might cost a bit more !

Good luck with your van search - it sounds like an ideal layout for a couple.

we loved this layout so we brought a new elddis 626,it lasted a year  !!!! in  practice the washroom is cramped  small shower,a fold up sink or a sink in the bedroom,  area,and access to the bed is restricted,and awkward if the person up the corner needed to get out in the night, storage if you had overnight visitors is also on the tight side

great  layout in theory but in practice it didnt work for us

We also have a Reich mover and no problems with it at all, the casing is very good at keeping bits of gravel out of the working parts, something that can be a problem on gravel hardstanding pitches like those used by the CC
