Just been to the Caravan show at Event City manchester, Really dissapointed not to find One L shape Lounge in the new vans..

any comments guys

Well if they have stopped doing this design that is a great shame.  We have an 'L' shaped lounge in our Swift Challenger and this design makes for more room and I love it.  The only iffy thing I can see with the design is if someone is tall (say 6' or over) then if you wanted to keep the seating as single beds then this could be a problem, unless your partener is not as tall.

We loved ours, unfortunately stolen and have to wait for a new model which has parallel seating. Don't know why they are not made any more.

I am 6'2 yet prefer the traditional layout   Having been in one with 4 people I found it less than practical   there is really only room for 3   the corner section is no good  two people cannot sit side by side unless they wish to play footsy or kneesy

Maybe they don't read forums or do customer research?

I am really surprised that only Lunar now seem to offer this as an option. We specifically went for our S6 provence because it had this layout, where as a newer S7 one of the same year didn't. Our main reason was floor space as we have very young children so it is ideal for toys and also putting up a high chair......something that is a nightmare in the normal layout. I think this layout is far better for families with young children but can understand why a couple would opt for the standard layout. The only issue we find with ours is that the seats aren't long enough for us to use them as 2 single beds so we always have to make up the double. Apart from that it suits us well and we will probably keep this van for another 3 yrs before looking to change it........at that point (as kids will be a bit older) we would then consider the more standard layout.

We swapped our Elddis Tornado for an Abbey Aventura specifcally for the L-shaped lounge, more spacious and at night we can curl up together and watch TV.

That said, when we upgrade next time, looks like we'll be back on opposite sofas as this layout is out of fashion, for now.

Just been having a look on line and at Caravanland they advertise new 2013 Elddis Xplore 302 and 304
