We had a look around the Retreat today at our local Dealership, Dickinsons of Bradford - and I'm still unimpressed with the 'ironing-board' breakfast table. It narrows the kitchen, has a 'perched' high-level seat, and is only really wide enough for a plate and the salt and pepper pots! The bedroom area is nice, as is the sitting area, as is the rest of the kitchen but for the same price a 'normal' static caravan will offer a lot more space and proper toilet and showers.
We did like some of the other 2012 models though, from Swift, Sterling and Bailey - very nice - and it's the first time we've been tempted by the interior finishes on offer! However, one Bailey we looked at had a lovely big bathroom, but the square mixer tap was in a fixed position in the narrow part of the oblong basin and didn't swivel at all. So for the moment we'll still stick to our trusty 12 year old van, thanks, unless someone wants to loan me a 'test van' for a few months! Any offers Nigel????????????????????
