Only two owners and very little use in fact it looks pretty much new inside and the outside is excellent too.
The interior surfaces are very good and design wise it is impressive and the construction is hard to criticise.
Ours has all the usual stuff, heating, hot water, fridge, microwave, cooker extractor, three opening roof lights, TV aerial, quality stereo, 4 ring cooker and oven/grill.
The shower and toilet area are entirely adequate with a good wardrobe.
The suspension is good with shock absorbers and commercial van tyres (65psi) on alloy wheels.
Front locker is big with space for everything you need including the spare wheel.
It tows very well with never a wobble at a nose weight of 75kgs that is easily achievable without jumping through hoops.
Double glazed, blinds and curtains.
We are both about 5 ft 7ins and tend to use the twin beds as they are without making up the double bed but if you do it is huge.
Only criticism I have is it could do with a padded bumper on the cupboard edge above the front drawer unit. (How do I know, don't ask and I,m still working on that one).
Having looked at loads of similar age (2006) UK caravans I was very unimpressed with both the design and finish.
Looked at one Starclass that was too much for us and then bought this one off EBay.
We are newbies and entirely happy with her.
In fact SWMBO says our plan to buy this one second hand and replace it next year with a new caravan is silly as the new caravans we have looked at are not a patch on what we have.
Can someone explain how the water + blown heating works on these thanks??
When we looked at our boss', I saw that the blower ducting passes 'through' the water heater. Not like our current system where the blower picks up the heat from behind the fire.

we also have a problem with the inside front locker but after you have hit your head a few times you do learn to duck.Also do you have a problem stacking things in the front locker without the bars stopping it closing properly

They are separate systems, both Truma working on gas or EHU and the heater has a separate blower distributing the heat all over the caravan

We always leave the table top pulled out and try never to put anything up against the window but I still manage to hit my head occasionally.
I soon learned how low the hinge bars go and where, but still get it wrong sometimes.
I find having a clear idea of where everything goes helps a lot.
It's the downside of having a lid that opens wide without swinging forward.
