We've got a fabulous Sterling Europa 2 berth caravan, that we chose as it fits on our limited drive space superbly.
Due to family changes, we need to move up to a 4 berth (to avoid me sleeping in the awning annex!).
We have a limitation on the drive - maximum is 6.8 metres (shipping length) but we could really do with it being as short as possible, to allow for safe access for the car. I've never seen the point of end washrooms, so not having one would be fine as it helps with the length.
We are looking for a caravan about 8-12 years old for around 5k-6k.
Can anyone throw some suggestions our way, to give us a list of potentials to search for?
Try Lunar Zenith, 460/4, 2004 to 2006, 20ft 6ins shipping length, around 5k from a dealer, slightly less private sale.
Lunar Quasar, 460/4 same shipping length, slightly more expensive, higher spec.
Both have the long front benches and single rear dinette full width of the caravan with a full size drop down bunk over, max weight 11st, approx length 6ft 2ins.

Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

We had a 2009 Elddis Xplore 474 (4 berth, fixed bed with side washroom) which from was 6.2m shipping length. In fact it's for sale at the moment through the dealer we part-X'd it with.
I've just noticed your age/budget though but it doesn't hurt to add an option to the list.
As an FYI when we traded it in (for a new Swift with an end washroom) they found damp in the rear corners due to an improperly sealed rail across the back of the van. They reduced our part-X price as they said they would be repairing the problem since they give a fairly long warranty on all used models.
Chances are it still has it's motor mover on it too though I can't tell from the pictures on their web site. We transferred it across from our folding camper but bought a fully automatic model for the Swift hence left the Rhyno one on the Elddis.
Have a look on caravan finder, you can narrow your search down to length weighs and everything, its a great site for working out what caravan will meet your criteria.
