We collected our Geist AK495 in October and absolutely love it! We tow with a Zafira 1.9 cdti.
We've got 3 kids and the big bunks beds were the main factor in our decision to buy this particular make and model. Ours is a 2006 model but was new when we purchased it.
It's our first caravan so we decided to have the smallest in the Geist range while we got used to towing but so far have found it plenty big enough for our needs. We've bought a lightweight porch awning but didn't use it on our first outing as it was quite windy and we managed perfectly well without it.
We're raring to go and have already got 5 trips away booked and a few more in planning!
