Phase 3 – A New Caravan

We said we’d never buy a fixed bed caravan, what a waste of space – but our thoughts slowly changed as we perused some new 8 feet wide twin axles. Our current Clubman ES is the perfect layout for us, we chose very well back 9 years ago! But, it would be even more perfect if we had a bed as well, to ease ‘that routine’ you face without one. Some new layouts came to our attention which fitted the bill, so we headed for the NEC last October to further pursue this idea. After much trailing around, we finally stumbled upon our perfect caravan, a dealer special based on the Compass Casita 840. This had it all: big lounge, side dinette, rear bedroom and a decor which we thought was just us. The dealer special, namely the Kensington 840 also had numerous other upgrades to the standard model, which made it an easy action to sign on the dotted line. There, the deal was done. We had upgraded our perfect caravan to one which was the same, but with a bed!

Today it was time to pick up the next touring stage of our lives. We had a great handover from the staff at Kimberley’s and were soon heading home with our new baby, albeit a much bigger and heavier one!
