We've driven past quite a few Charismas recently and each time we look at the driver and passenger and then say "Charisma? - no".

It's just our way of having some fun on the long journeys. But if you see some people laughing as they pass at least you'll know why.

Hi mr T

Our Friends have one of them and they are really happy with it. We looked around at them too and would of happily brought one but with fixed bunks we got a better deal in the end on the Baily.

No real difference between them.

We just traded in our 2009 charisma 550 and we loved it. No problems at all. Just got sick of hubby clambering over me to get out of bed so opted for an island bed
