We have 2 berth ABI Jubilee Rallyman Supreme. at the moment.
We are now in a position to buy another 4 berth caravan but I just cannot find anything that matches the quality of my old caravan. Some of the the new ones still have sawdust in the cupboards .. gaps .. .. things hanging off..
Also , what is it with end bathrooms ?
We want an end island bed with central shower and toilet either side.. 4 berth with wrap around or L Shaped lounge
Reason for central loo is , not to have to walk through the bedroom to get to the toilet during the night as my Mum will be sleeping in there..
All the dealers in our area don't have one..
Could anyone give me an idea of the models of caravan I am looking for 2004 to present please
PS has to be single axle..

Have you had a look on caravanfinder? Among the ones they suggest are the Compass Rallye 550 and the Elddis Oddessy 550, I think it's the l-shaped lounge that's the tricky bit ..

We have just taken delivery of an Elddis Rambler 18/4 island bed dealers special which is based on the avante 550. It has an island bed and central toilet and shower. We wanted it for the same reasons as you so Mum can come with us. Not got an L shaped loung though.

You do not say what weight you are looking at or what you will be towing it with
But if you are looking at twin axles your preferred layout describes our conqueror 645 and I think bailey do one now
As white rose says have a look on caravan finder or the cc website as you can search by layout

Thank you all for replying .
Our tow vehicle is a CRV ES Vtec 2ltr petrol 07 so I must admit after some more research ,it appears twin wheelers are now out.
Wrap around lounge would be fine, main thing is that the rear bedroom can be shut off and those sleeping at the front still have access to the loo..
at the mo we are sleeping in a tall annex in the awning


Thanks , will have a look at the ones you have suggested

Copy the above link into you browser and look at the Trent model.

Wrap around seating at the front is an option, you could also look at Venture Caravans, Sportline range with lots of extras. Mtplm 1,300kg
