On another forum someone bought a brand new one last year made to their specifications. It has a huge payload with MTPLM over 2200kgs.

Thanks BB.
Red Lion 🍺🍺keeps cropping up🤪
I’ve had a good look at the advert. The pics tell a story. I can’t quite see what benefit the slide out offers. It’s only two years newer than my Wyoming and doesn’t seem to have many extras. The toilet and shower look very small! Not good enough to tempt me. I wonder how well the slide out seals have withstood the test of time?

The Inos caravan is made by the Fifth Wheel Company in North Wales.
From memory 2011 was probably one of the first years they made the Inos.
There have been several generations since then and they are still made and still have a long waiting list for new ones.
They are very very expensive, have a usual MTPLM of 2800kg and are very solid throughout, meaning they last much better than many other caravans (just as well given the new cost). One bonus is the payload can easily be 400kg.
Construction is pretty much wood-free with the walls, floor and roof being thicker GRP skinned and with thicker more dense cores than other caravans. Couple this with interiors that don't detach over the first pothole and the slideout a considerable weight is inevitable.
They are not completely perfect, but sadly, very few things are these days.
Being made to order and taking over a month to build, despite continuous production over the years there are probably less than 150 in existence (and few of these were exported).
I can't comment on the earlier models but in the case of the later models the slideout makes an enormous difference (yes, we own one).
We also often hear the phrase "I thought they went bust" or similar.
Many people assume the Inos was made by Infiniti, who did indeed go bust, but there was no connection between the companies or their products and I think (but I could be wrong) that the Inos predates the Infinti Genesis.
As the company don't go to the NEC or large shows and as they are a rare sight many don't know about their existence. We didn't and it was pure chance we found out about them.
Being so rare video tours/reviews weren't available to help us, so I have made my own if anyone wants to know more.

Update (including reclining seats, etc).

We saw one at Chapel Lane Club site at end of August beginning September, quite rare from what Ukzero says, one for my I Spy Caravans book
"Just another caravan!" Absolutely correct.
At the end of the day whatever MH or caravan outfit it is they all do basically the same thing - mobile accommodation.
On the road the Inos isn't 8ft wide, just a standard 7.5ft. However, on site the slideout opens to give this in the "lounge":
The separate bedroom is equally wide.
Please note that being built to order and with numerous options Inos caravans of the same year do vary. The caravan in the picture has also been extensively modified by the owner.
I have included these posts in the Buyers' Guides section to expand the "database".
Yes. Some model/option combinations are now approaching £100k, but this doesn't mean they are necessarily any better than other caravans and certainly they are not to everyone's taste or within everyone's budget.
I hope this information proves useful to someone.
Thanks.
