Fixed single beds layouts are undergoing something of a renaissance at the moment, with Elddis, Bailey and Adria all offering new caravans with this family-friendly configuration. Best for families with teenage kids, this layout had previously been reserved for top-end tourers, but the new Elddis Avante 574 offers a much more affordable option.
For those looking for a bit more luxury, there’s the Bailey Pegasus Rimini, which offers more premium trim as standard. Finally, there’s the new Adria Astella 613HT, which benefits from a super-wide European-style bodyshell, giving you a much more spacious interior. All three of these tourers were on show at the NCC Motorhome and Caravan Show last month and we took a look inside to see how they compare.
