Inos – a caravan that's taking it all in its slide

British built and with slide-out features, this is a caravan that's set to stun any potential buyer

The Inos is a caravan for sale like no other. This is the first British-built caravan to have a slide-out side, which runs almost the entire length of the body. The extension gives you three square metres of extra space.

The caravan has a massive 700kg of payload, more than a family would ever need, but the facility is there just because Inos can make use of it. That’s because the chassis is the uprated BPW version that’s capable of taking 2700kg of weight. The MIRO (unladen weight) of the prototype we tested is 1890kg; production models will be 100kg lighter than that.

Its wood-free construction uses four-element vacuum-bonded panels, with a Styrofoam core and a glass reinforced plastic exterior. The corner sections are made of polyurethane, for added strength.

It’s heated from under the floor, and as soon as you take off your shoes at the door you feel the heat under your feet. The system is made by Alde. It’s a combi boiler that takes care of water heating as well as space heating.

The Inos is a four-berth caravan, with a fixed double bed plus two full adult-length settees that can be used as single beds; just roll out sleeping bags and these beds are made.

The slide-out side extends both the living area and the bedroom. It’s powered by the caravan’s 12-volt system; you just flick a switch over the entrance door, the extension glides out and the central section of the Inos becomes just over half a metre wider.

The shower room runs the full width of the rear of the caravan.

The Inos is the first caravan to be manufactured by the Fifth Wheel Company, based near the North Wales coast, in Denbighshire.

Its name is derived from an ancient Welsh custom. If someone built an entire house on common land in the space of one night, they could claim ownership of the land it stood on. “Inos” comes from the Welsh for “in one night.”
