Detailed Review

 

Xplore 495, 2009

Price new: £11,295

This caravan is a: five-berth twin lounge

Take a proven family layout that sleeps five and give it a bright, cheerful image – and a good price – and you’re pretty sure to have a winning combination.
The Xplore range is all about great value. Specification is kept to a minimum in the interests of price and weight – and the result, throughout the range, is a set of very appealing products.
Two lounges and plenty of space
Where the 495 scores in particular, is that it looks and feels like a much larger caravan than its five metres of body.
That’s because it has two lounges – a layout that presents an open, airy aspect. The rear lounge gives you a double bed with pull-up bunk above; two full-length singles or a big double are at the front.

Our verdict
If you can live with the lack of kitchen worksurface (bearing in mind you’re making meals for up to five) and the shortage of kitchen cupboard space, the 495 is a fantastic family caravan for its size. It’s well built but without the level of equipment that would bump up the price. This model’s great plus-point is that it has two distinct living areas, both capable of seating four with room to spare.
