Has anyone else spotted one of these new brand Caravans on the road yet?

They are quite stunning in design, real head turners, top of the high market range of luxury caravans complete with side slide out extention at the press of a button. British made, they are a market stealer from brands such as 'Hobby' and the American imports with similar slide out extending sides. You would need a real beefy towcar to pull one, we have just returned from the Sandringham CC site where one of these super vans was sited, along with its Range rover towcar. There are quite a few pictures on the net of the interiors, but no two will ever be the same, as like most expensive custom built cars, you get to choose your decor, fabrics, and kitchen unit finishes when you place your order, making each caravan unique.

I thought they went bust & plenty lost their deposits? Plenty about them if you google. If you are thinking of buying secondhand, it would need to be very cheap.

Yes they went bust. Great idea but the majority of uk buyers are too price driven and like you said you would need a 4x4 or similar to tow it.

The caravan looked brand new, certainly no outward signs of build quality problems, and displayed right at the entrance to the CC site, as if the owners wanted to show it off.

I did wonder about the possibility of leaks in the slide out section, and looked the brand website up and there was no mention of receivership or the vans no longer being built.

They looked very solid, and reminded me of the VanRoyce caravans of years gone by.

2013/14 Eterniti IB4. We have owned since it was new. This is arguably the finest caravan produced in the U.K. and definitely the largest as it is over 8 metres long and features a large slide out on the side that incorporates the kitchen and master bed.
There is nothing that can compare with the luxury of this van.
It is a joy to Tow as it is twin axle and has the extended 'A' Frame. We have been to France and Scotland in it numerous times and you hardly know its behind you.
It is on the upgraded 2700 BPW Chassis

It features;
Full central heating with 5 radiators
King Size fixed bed with storage underneath
Thetford Cooker, Grill and 3 gas and 1 electric hob
Enormous bathroom with extra large shower.
Rear door that allows the bathroom to be used even when the slide out is retracted.
Curtains, blackout blinds and fly screens
Radio
Retractable TV in the Lounge Area with additional TV point in Master Bedroom
Huge amounts of storage space with wardrobe
Full size fridge with large freezer above
Runs of Electric or Gas
Exterior Storage in Slide Out that also incorporates hot & cold shower
Exterior Gas barbecue Point
Front Storage for Gas Bottles
Bedroom Partition.

The van is truly immaculate inside and out,


SEE THIS VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORGKz8q6MJI

This van comes with the following EXTRAS;
Max View Self Seeking Satellite System
Air Conditioning
2 Sets of Fitted Carpets
Winter Cover
Full STRAND awning
STRAND end double bedroom awning
Tech 300 Canopy Awning
Towing Cover
SKY system
H.D.M.I. from Sky to TV for H.D.
Cover for Slide Out
The heating controller has been upgraded so you can set daytime AND night time temperatures
Lots more photos available by email.
It has always been stored under cover and heated throughout the winter.

ETERNITI owners have formed a Facebook Page where we discuss the vans and arrange numerous gathering around the country. We even have a dedicated ETERNITI specialist maintenance man who come and services the van for you.
ONLY THE FIRST FEW HAD PROBLEMS AND ALL THE SPARE PARTS ARE U.K. BASED INCLUDING THE SLIDE OUT.

It's not so much the problems. It's mostly that the factory is no longer in existance. This is not a viable purchase for anybody who has no mechanical ability & no practical skills. Generally caravan repair workshops do not like undertaking work on 'unusual' caravans. I would guess for anybody totally reliant on paid service costs will be high.

To be viable. Purchase price of this caravan needs to reflect it's nature. That is a project that can only be undertaken by anybody with the skills to mostly diy maintain a caravan of this nature.

Good luck with realising your price. If you cannot & must sell I would auction it to highest bidder.

All parts including the chassis bodywork and fittings are readily available in the U
All electrical parts like cooker, fridge freezer, heaters are UK such as Aldi and Trauma.
There is even a dedicated service engineer who specialises in this van.
Ours is 100 % faultless and always has been.
There is an active members group who meet regularly around the country.
3 members vans have recently been sold due to I'll health and change of circumstances. The new members are thrilled with there vans and already joining in on meetings.
