The Elddis Crusader comes in a wide range of flexible layouts

Elddis Caravans have designed a high spec finish at an affordable price with the the aspirational Elddis Crusader marque - the company's most popular range

Ideal for families, the Elddis Crusader Shamal was introduced in 2011, featuring a four-berth layout with twin fixed beds in the rear and a convertible double in the front end.

At the other end of the scale, the 6 berth Elddis Crusader Tempest introduced in 2010 was built with family in mind. The 1.82m long side dinette comfortably seats four and there is a full sized triple bunk bed configuration on the nearside.

Flexible Layouts

Whichever model suits your needs, Elddis Crusader caravans come with a range of features as standard.

The living areas feature a twin bunk lounge and 100% LED mood lighting. Contemporary locker doors with a metal trim inset are complimented by luxury neutral fabrics, with the option of a luxurious leather upgrade on fixed bed models. The washrooms are well kitted out and spacious, with a dedicated dressing area, Rimini double shower and Thetford C250 cassette toilet. Water is supplied via a Whale Aquasource water system with 40 litre on-board tank.

When it comes to mealtimes, the Elddis Crusader models come well equipped with all the usual kitchen equipment. A 195 litre fridge comes as standard, while the oven and three burner hob sit alongside a stainless finish microwave and sink.

The BPW swing V-tech chassis is enhanced with high speed towing stability, optional suspension dampers and an intelligent drive control unit.

Key improvements in the range for 2012 include a completely redesigned exterior, which more closely resembles Elddis' luxury sister brand, Buccaneer Caravans.
