We have just sold our Compass and are now lookingfor a new van. But I think we are being too fussy. We would like an L shape lounge and a fixed bed but the bed has got to be facing towards the lounge not crossways right next to the caravan door. Do such vans exsist? I can only seem to find twin axels in this layout which is what we don't want as we are getting rid of the 4x4 in favour of a smaller car. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes we need L shape lounge as the last van had one the bailey vendee has L shape lounge but the bed faces the wrong way, you can close it off but there's no room to get changed.

We have an Avondale Argente 555-4 which has an L shaped lounge and the fixed bed is on the same side as the caravan door but faces forward. The MRO is 1125kg and we tow this with a VW Passatt 1.9 diesel which according to 'What Tow Car' is a 87% ratio and is fine. It is a single axel.

Hope this helps.

Pam

been at Lowdhams today and saw a brand new series 6 Bailey with a fixed bed and lrather than an Lshaped lounge it was u shaped so no chest of drawers but loads of seating area, we think it was a pageant the new owner showed us round it and we were impressed with it, the upholstery was like a biscuit and the carpets were terracotta

Have you tried this?  Yon can now search for caravans by their layout

http://www.caravanfinder.co.uk/caravans.html

If I understand your description properly that seems a common layout
