Its either the Xplore 304 or the Freedom 1st Class, but after seeing one of the 1st classes in person, I really didn't see how they can justify the cost (£11,000)
Everything in the Freedom van felt a little.......cheap, the foam for the seats was really soft. probably wouldn't be a problem at first, but after a few years?
Also I really didn't like the lining, which from what Ive read can have problems a few years down the road (can drop because the insulation degrades)
For a couple or a small family on a tight budget with a small car, I can see the Freedom being an ideal starter van, but just not for me.
We are on a Season Site our van has a L Shaped Lounge we like it because my husband has a wheelchair and he can move around a bit more . (The door has been widen a bit)
Just remember our caravan is a Twin Axle and the room is great for him to go from the front window to back .
I don"t think you could do that with Parallel seating
Some have your views but this Caravan is the best we have ever owned . We never had dark double Glazing Before a big Fridge Freezer like the one at home and the Biggest End washroom.plus also we have a Airing Cupboard We would buy another again in a heart beat........
its a total pia really fed up with sleeping arrangement ...going to change it soon..this is especially relevant to older campers,if you know what i mean , double bed is not that important ...lots of room day time but who spends all their time in the 'van...good for tv viewing but bedtime !!!!!!
I would never rule L shape out, but whenever buying a van, get in it, shut the door and spend a little while in their imagining how it would be when you are away, sleeping, eating, socialising having a cuppa or something stronger, where you would put your cup down etc etc only you will know what layout is right for you.

I am 6ft 5in Tall and i love my fixed bed in my van plus i am also disabled anytime in the day i can relax .
The bunks in the front of a van would not be bigger enough for me also how do i get around with a wheelchair .( Relevant to older campers speak for yourself i am knocking 60 on the door myself and i love my van .....
OUR present van has L shape seating My wife usually lays on front part while watching TV you can use as 2 singles head to head or feet to feet if not over 6ft.
The side seating pulls out on runners to make up when all cushions and extra pieces stowed underneath in to 6ft square bed.
have not used yet as we have two singles at back end that can be pulled together to make a double and left made up all day.
So just roll into bed when tired no making up.
