I know that there are some caravans that have a transverse fixed double with a centre bathroom. Can anyone remember any names and numbers of any models. Am considering a caravan and have seen this layout and liked it, but it seems they are gold dust. If anyone has any comments on this layout please let me know.
Thanks

Lunar Lexon 560 fits the bill. Don't think the Vendee has a transverse bed does it?

Thank you very much for all of your replies. And thanks in particular Bob for the link. I'm looking for an older van and the positive for me about the transverse bed is that you have the fixed bed without having the extra length.

If you want to do it on a budget buy a 5 berth with a dinette at the back and buy a proper mattress to fit.

If you do as Navver sugests though, be careful regarding putting a heavy mattress so far back on your caravan, you could suffer some stability problems when towing, so if you did decide to do this, you may be better removing the mattressand storing it over your axel when towing.

The Elddis Avante range has a five berth model with a double rear dinette that can be left made up as a bed, but im unsure how far back they have made them, as the ones we have seen have all been fairly new, and have sprung upholstry, so no need to buy a mattress.
