Made in 2002 and sold sold in 2003, so probably sold with extras to get rid of it before the new model came out.

This is much the same as my Elddis also made in 2002, we bought it in 2003 also a dealer special with loads of extras which were as standard in the 2003 model, the new model however had a smaller rear bedroom.

Can't see dealers doing the 'structural' upgrade to existing stock to raise the spec! Far too much work, and no profit to be made after material and labour costs. Mine has different external graphics/logos all round, extra lighting inside and out, HD corner steadies, plush deep pile carpet, and other enhancements, etc. etc. Only economic if a genuine factory build from scratch.

Likely nothing more than 'old stock' that didn't sell in the model year. Plenty of dealers have last years models still on their books, specials or stock versions, makes no difference. Usual method of clearing old stock is a smallish price reduction (remember, current year models will have gone up, so already a price differential!), and a 'bundle' of accessories thrown in.

......

The factory does the extras as dealer specials to get rid of the old stock before the new models come out in August.

They do dealer specials on a regular basis and each dealer will have their own likes and wants, the old stock clearence ones are usually better

OK so the front high level cupboards, door fly screen, external 230v socket, Panasonic stereo with cd , motor mover are all things that could have been dealer added in order for it to qualify it as an ultima. All starting to make sense now...right ol minefield this caravaning lark isn't it?

Change tyres at five years old, and they should never be used when more than seven years old.
