In case the recent onslaught of flowers and balloons on local supermarket shelves had escaped you, it’s Valentine’s Day! And in the spirit of all things romantic, we’ve had a look around at some of the brilliant caravan designs to cater specifically to his ‘n’ hers touring.
So if you enjoy nothing better than packing up your tourer and heading off into the sunset with your significant other, here are some great caravans, old and new, for making the most of your hobby together.
Coachman Pastiche 460/2
Renowned for their practical layouts, Coachman Caravans have delivered a cracker of a twin berther in the Pastiche 460/2. Providing the ultimate in flexible living, you can choose to convert the front dinette into a comfortable double bed or use it as twin singles depending on your individual needs. There’s even a bespoke cocktail cabinet to stash a bottle of bubbly for special occasions.
AS Caravans Grosvenor
Perhaps the ultimate in luxury touring, relative newcomers to the market AS Caravans launched the two berth Grosvenor layout in 2010. As with the Pastiche, the front dinette converts into a spacious double bed and a well though out lighting scheme can be set to create that all important romantic ambience.
Lunar Clubman SI
Dubbed the masters of ‘lightweight luxury’ Lunar Caravans offer something special in the Clubman SI. There’s a practical kitchen, and plenty of high spec inclusions on the kit list, but the real treat is the sleeping area. The award winning layout was reconfigured for the 2011 season and now houses a transverse island bed next to a spacious rear end washroom that runs the width of the caravan.
Hymer Nova SL 470
With its clutter free approach to interior design, the two berth Hymer Nova SL 470 has deep curved overhead lockers creating plenty of space in this European offering. Pearl grey and silver exterior walls subtly set it apart from the madding crowd. With an inboard water tank, it’s a good option for couples that like to tour throughout the winter months.
Sprite Alpine 2
The Sprite Caravans have been in production for well over fifty years and it is one of the oldest brands of touring caravans still in production today. This entry level range from the Swift Group offers affordable touring with a sense of history. The twin bunks and spacious rear end washroom in the Sprite Alpine 2 should make this a popular choice with couples.
