Hi all we are looking to upgade soon from F/C too caravan.We would like the type which we think are classed as 4 birth but only 2 of us and our pooch of course.The type we really like is the ones with at the rear of the caravan are a dinette type that can be made up to a double bed and can have door closed on it.Can anyone recomend some makes for us that have this feature.And the models please maybe some pics would be good and if they have good ratings.Thanks.Sue
The new 2011 Eldis Escape range have a model with that layout, fairly compact size and reasonably light weight as well, compared to some of the fixed bed models, at just over 21ft shipping length, and its actually a 5 berth, theres a bunk that folds away over the rear double dinette, and another double that can be made up at the front out of the bench seats. About 13k new, but you might be able to get a good deal at this time of year.

We used to have an Elddis firestorm 505 in that layout, one thing I would say is look for one with enough worktop space, that was the reason we got rid of it after just one holiday, it was too inconvenient when we were preparing any food.
I have this layout, an Ace Aristocrat (dealer special). Love it. Wooden door eparating back bed off.We often leave it made up as a fixed when theres just the 2 of us.

The layout you're looking at is actually 5 berth - there's a pull-out bunk that comes out over the top of the rear double (we have this layout with L shaped seating at the back - we love it). I think pretty much all the manuacturers do this layout & in a vast age/price range too. If you look on caravanfinder you can search by No of berths.
If you lift the 5th bunk 5, or 6 inches higher, it makes a very useful storage shelf, and gives enough head room for the person sleeping below. We do this, and there is just the two of us.
