This edition of CaravanTimes’ Classic Gold series takes the magnifying glass to the Elddis Xplore 304, which was originally given the once over by reviewer Peterlan Tremelling in 2014. Six years later, would it still get five stars?
From the outset of Mr Tremelling’s review it’s clear to see he was impressed with the caravan, referring to it as “an absolute peach”. The general impression he gives is that it outperforms what you’d expect from an entry-level caravan, therefore representing great value for money.
Among the highlights he pointed out are a large fridge, three-burner hob and four reading lamps on top of the two main lamps. Mr Tremelling also raved about the thick and comfy cushions, as well as the abundance of storage space.
While the washroom is described as “compact”, this is overlooked in favour of easy towability. Roomier caravans tend to be much larger on the whole and therefore require more high-power cars to tow them and more space for manoeuvring.
Mr Tremelling concluded: “It is a brilliant little van, which should prove popular with those with medium-sized cars, and those who would prefer not to tow huge caravans.”
Did you purchase an Elddis Xplore 304 back in 2011 when it first hit the market or in subsequent years? And if so, did your experience live up to the hype of our reviewer? Do let us know.
