Hi,
Can anyone advise me on the merits, or otherwise of a Caravelair Hermitage 546 6 Berth single axle caravan. I've found a 2008 one for sale with a dealer and the price is very good compared to, for example, a 2008 Bailey 6 berth single axle.
I'm having difficultly finding reviews of these online - they appear to be a French brand.
Any information, good or bad, is appreciated.
Thank you!

Door on the wrong side may limit you on some campsites.

Over the years i have been to some, where they wont let you put the van on the pitch backwards and the way the pitches were arranged you would not be able to put an awning up.

Only takes a minute to mention when booking a site though.

Correct side is nearest the kerb. Obviously in France they drive on the right hand side so the doors are on the right also.

If you park in a layby or at the side of the road your caravan door will be opening into the road or traffic. Not onto the kerb/pavement.

If you travel around Europe a lot then it maybe a bonus.

Hi, I have one of these models and the door is on the correct side for the UK. I believe the model was built for the UK market.
Excellent van large interior. I am selling it as we just don't get out and about anymore. Comes with all you need. Regards.
