Auto Sleepers are launching their first ever range of caravans. The release is due to coincide with 2011 season launches from big name caravan manufacturers at the NEC Caravan and Motorhome Show in October.
Auto Sleepers has been the exclusive domain of motorhomes since 1961, but due to an increasingly buoyant caravan market, the company are diversifying and branching out into the touring caravan field.
The new range will be named ‘AS Caravans’ with three models available at Marquis dealerships from the beginning of October, with a fourth to follow in February next year.
The three models are all single axle tourers with rear end washrooms and have been named Mayfair, Kensington and Grosvenor.
The Mayfair model will be the only fixed bed option whilst the entry level two berth Grosvenor houses two single berths at the nose end.
We predict Auto Sleepers will pitch its new range to the higher end of the market, and while prices haven’t yet been confirmed the high spec finish and regal names of these ‘vans are likely to have a princely price tag to match.
Auto Sleepers have been successfully constructing motorhomes using sandwich sidewall method with GRP front and rear panels – a method which should translate well to touring caravan build.
Check back soon for photos, layouts, prices and weights.
