Change of caravan - any ideas?

[tony_5104319]

We currently have an Avondale Argente 650-6. We have 2 kids 2years old and 8 months old. One of the reasons we picked this van was that it gave us the room we wanted and also has a fixed wooden door between the front and the rear lounge/dinette. This gave us the chance to relax and watch the TV without disturbing the kids when we put them to bed in the back.

We are now moving house and could do with a smaller lighter caravan. I understand that we will need to compromise in some areas,however the main criteria is the kids sleep in the back and a fixed wooden door to seperate. we would consider rear bunks, however we have not seen a layout that can shut these off from the main cabin.

Any ideas welcome (We are looking at a new van to buy at the NEC)

ive got an avondale 556/6 fixed bunks at end and i hate it. i wish now i had bought a fixed bed. the top bunk has a curve so its quite small up there. there are other makes with that layout that may have more room. you could have a twin dinette but i would have a fixed bed there is either a pully door or some have a wooden door. i think they are the bailey. i would put the kids on the front seats with a bed guard each.

not everyone will agree with me.
