now that's got you looking


I'm after a caravan me the wife and 2x 6 year olds (twins)

ive been looking at 5 berths like the idea of putting them to bed and having some lounge time, but the ones ive been looking at all have the shower/toilet all in ones ,
don't like that idea has the big problems in caravans looks like damp.
so I like some of the 4 berth one that have the shower cubicle self contained has to speak


ive got £5000 to spend would you go for a 5 berth ( because of the layout ) or the 4 berth because of the shower layout

The 4 berth with end wash room is nice as it gives you somewhere to dress as well, but 5 berth is also good for having lounge space for them and getting them further away from you in the evening when they are asleep.

You may find you always use on site showers etc so maybe the bathroom isn't important.

The only time i have used my shower is when we were on a super busy site and there were queues for the shower when we needed to be out in a hurry.

Show toilet all in ones have been used for years and your more likely to get leaks from the exterior before that causes problems.

A hot steamy shower in a enclosed cubicle is more of an issue because that has to escape somewhere.

Puzzled on your 4 bert and 5 berths having different layouts because there are so many layout with both options.

If you have small children and you will be washing them in a van, an end bathroom maybe what your after.

Missus loved the space in our end bathroom compared with the cramped bathrooms on one side of the van.

If your looking at beds front and rear then your going to get the compact middle bathroom.

Thats the layout that i thought was perfect for us, but then i bought a caravan with a side diner and its been so perfect we have owned it for 17 years.

Not sure what age of van you are looking for. We sold our owned from new 5 berth earlier this year. A 2005 Challenger 490L it had a side bathroom with separate shower rather than wet room. I think the layout was new that year and the same layout was available on a Sterling, Ace and Abbey. Our children had their own zone and it worked well for us.

We have a Lunar Quasar 525 double dinette 5 berth. The 5th bed drops down over the bed at the back so suits 2 or 3 children. Small bathroom with separate shower. This layout may suit you if you can locate one.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.
