Whilst out in my truck today I noticed in my mirrors a caravan approaching it appeared to not have a traditional sloping front but what appeared to be a 'bay' window as it passed i saw it was a twin axle and the rear panel was also a bay window the roof appeared to extend slightly beyond the length of the main body.
Unfortunately I didn't catch the make and model, anyone any ideas? Also any links to interior pictures, just wondering what it was like inside. Never seen one like it before.

Cheers

Sounds like a Hobby Landhaus ...generally used as seasonal/statics.

Some older vans had a bay window layout also, i had a tiny little GLEN with a bay window, the windows were even leaded.

Is this legal? I thought the body length could not exceed 7m, not including the A frame. The page I checked stated it was 30 foot long which is over 9 metres! Nice van though not towable on UK roads?

Towed by a HGV where the 7M doesnt apply?

The Landhaus info it not in the sales brochure. But the Name Landhaus = country house or cottage?

And the brochure says "your own mobile country house"

Love to know what it weighs.

EDIT: found it 2300kg..2500kg

In essence then what with weight and length it must be towed by an HGV, can imagine the face of a warden when you rock up at the reception with the outfit 😄😄

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Aren't Airstreams silver in colour but not with bay windows as they are always curvy
