Check out the new Barefoot caravan!

[LizziePope]

When we heard about this exciting Barefoot project, we wanted to get in a protoype as soon as we could. To find out more, read our Barefoot review. What do you think?

The spare wheel and gas cylinder look a long way forward of the axle so I'm wondering what its nose weight is. The overall weights also look high for a small caravan.

It certainly has the majority of the features people would want, and it looks aesthetic.

£21,950, --- It's not April the 1st. is it?

For some reason I like it as it is different but as already mentioned it has a high price and weight but it is good to see some one try some thing different.
Good luck to them and I hope they do not go the same way as Dunton House with their Concordia Caravans and Eternity Caravans who both tried something different

Whilst it is always good to see someone doing something new, in doing something different you perhaps need to look more closely at the market and pricing for the product. So I may get shot down in flames but many people looking for a van this small and light will possibly be doing it for economic reasons above home storage ones. They may not see the need for a big heavy fuel guzzling car when they aren't towing so want to have a van they can tow with their small family hatchback. These wise people have made a very good economic choice that to me makes a lot of sense. Therefore these aforementioned individuals are unlikely to spend in excess of 21K when they can get a Freedom caravan for say upwards of 11.5K
The barefoot has some very stiff competition from Freedom, a well known and respected brand that is pretty much half the price of a very nice but unknown entity. I'm sorry to say as nice as the Barefoot looks I know where my pennies would be spent.

Looks nice and would certainly suit loan caravanners. The weight is a bit high, but should be manageable as most cars could handle it, but the price might sink it.
Looks far better than the Freedom and should be better built and designed so probably unfair to compare.

Looks a lovely idea although a bit pricey but why does the 'Also consider' box bring up an Adria Astella Glam Edition Rio Grande ,its enormous

Absolutely spot on Deli Dave.
But three Adrias hmy: :huh:

 

[Raywood]

The three Adrias seem to appear on almost all reviews and often none relevant. Looks like someone is not doing their job.
Noticed my spelling mistake on earlier post. Given myself fifty lines "Must do better in future"

 

[Gabsgrandad]

Unless of course that 'the space' has been paid for!

 

[Martin24]

Careful being that cynical, next thing we'll be thinking reviews are by hospitality budgets

 

[Gabsgrandad]

Now who's being cynical?!

Agreed! That's a website glitch I'm well aware of – but it proves you read/scrolled down that far! I hope that also proves that that space isn't paid for!

Its a Kinder Egg toy! Somehow I feel that the return to the separate gas bottle locker of yesteryear is a styling attempt to make it look smaller and cute. From the pics it does look well executed-the piano hinge doors are a nice touch, and the one piece shell will hopefully be damp free. The external door has no means of retaining it in the open position

Possible but even then they could get more appropriate models from the range.
