I've just googled 'the small caravan company near warren farm burnum on sea' & come up with nothing relevant so more details are required if poss.sorry may have name wrong but its defo there drove past it loads of times

This was our last caravan, a Sprintaway Lux. A bit pricey but with an unladen weight of 702kg and a payload of 298kg, it was perfect for us at the time.

However when we bought our second dog, we needed something bigger and we sold the Sprintaway and bought a folding camper.
Still light enough to tow with a small car but oodles more room.

We have a 2008 Elddis Avante 362 which we love. Whichever van you go for, just be aware of the user payload. It is amazing how quickly you can reach the maximum just with essential items. The M.T.P.L.M. is imporatant but the difference between it the M.I.R.O. need serious consideration. I have spent many an hour weighing the items I load inot the van. We are now considering changing and the main thing I have been considering is the maximum user payload.

Good luck!
