Caravan Layouts

[keithgypps]

Hi there I am a new member currently looking for a new or nearly new max two year old caravan.
Currently I have a Magnum Classic 534 fixed bed eight years old. This van is the ideal layout for me and the wife and a popular layout a few years ago.
Researching the market it would appear that this particular layout is no longer available and for the life of me I fail to understand why.
Now it may be because I am anal but my wife and I get a great deal of pleasure in having a cup of tea in bed in the mornings looking out of the bedroom window at our bird feeders, with opaque windows the birds come really close. Now with modern layouts the bed is on the right hand side of the caravan and therefore of a morning with our cup of tea we would look out into........... the awning!!! and quite frankly I don't want too, I want to look out into the countryside and not my awning.. Is it me ??
Anyhow this rambling is to ask the question of you knowledgeable people out there as to.. Do you know of a maker that produces the layout I am after, FF I believe in the layout page either as a new van or up to 2/3 three years old please. Failing that any recommendations for used Island bed models up to 2/3 years old.
Ideally I would like new but the price of new vans by comparison to what I paid eight years ago is frightening, a difference in circa £8k like for like.

I'm sorry, but you don't actually say what layout your current/intended caravan has. You'd perhaps get more answers/help if you did. Many manufacturers make caravans with a side island bed with a window at the foot, so that you can look out of the right hand side of the caravan.

Apologies current layout is fixed end bed four berth with the bed on the left side of the van, where possible I am trying to emulate that layout.
I appreciate many manufacturers make island bed models I thought I could narrow the search down with some recommendations from satisfied owners

I could not think of any to suit you and looked at the layout finder in PC. They show two layouts that might suit as FF which you quote and GG but I cannot find anything listed with either of these. They have dropped the foreign built caravans except for Adria and it may be these layouts are available from one of these but I do not know.

Have you had a look on here at the layouts available

Hi Keith
Our previous Bailey Pageant Vendee S6 had a rear transverse bed with full windows across the rear and the foot of the bed.
Many a morning we watched the sun rise over Loch Naver.

Have you looked at Adria?
They have brought out a new model where you design the interior layout yourself.
May suit you?

Sprocket beat me to the caravan finder recommendation. If you can,t find anything, how about a porch awning forward of the bedroom window B)

Hi We brought our present caravan a Elddis Crusader Super Sirocco Twin Axle that came with a fixed bed but now we have had it change to twin beds ( We have someone who service the van and change it inside he is brilliant ), Me and wife think it is great ...
