Anybody know a caravan that fits the very vague description of "Abbey caravan 1994, 12ft, 2 berth that can be adapted to sleep 3"? 

I suspect I'll have to ring for more info tomorrow (it's a Chinese whispers conversation from an elderly friend of a friend of a friend) but am curious to see what I (or someone else on here!) can deduce beforehand :-)  If it really is a 2 berth, it's no use to us so I'd prefer not to raise their hopes by phoning - and 12 foot seems very small!

Ah yes - it could be Abi not abbey, I'd not thought of that.  Blimey, that opens the possibilities even wider!

12 foot seems very small ...?

Not really small at all, considering my first caravan was a five berth ABI Monza with a total body length of 3.60mtrs, or 11ft 9ins in old money!

Its possible that the third berth was a hamock type stretcher bunk across the top of the double, only suitable for a child under 12, and far from ideal for the perents sleeping below. Our neighbours had a sprite caravan with this type of bunk back in the early 80s.

Its amazing how all caravan sizes and weights have grown so much larger over the years.

It could be the Abbey County Devon, thats a 2 berth with a big bed and is 12'.
