Elddis Caravans recently visited the Iveco test track in southern Germany to put models from their Elddis and Buccaneer ranges through their paces.
Ordinarily used to test HGV rigs and trucks, the track is built to simulate pot holes and washboard corrugations. At speeds of up to 60mph over 100 laps, the test replicated five years of average use, towing the fully laden caravans over difficult terrain.

Elddis is the only British caravan manufacturer to use the BPW chassis and running gear, which withstood the punishing driving conditions valiantly. After the centennial lap, there was no reported damage to the interior or exterior structure, all the cabinetry remained unaffected and all the appliances continued to function.
Elddis Caravans chassis suppliers, BPW Fahrzeugtechnik, were also on site during the testing process and reported back this was “the strongest touring caravan tested” in their many years’ experience.
