The Xplore range is known for its ingenuity, forward thinking and innovative, lightweight designs. Being one of the cheaper ranges, it provides affordable getaways while still being contemporary and stylish, with defining features such as vibrant, sunny accent colours on the upholstery and graphics.

The smallest of the range at a petite 3.8m in length, the compact Xplore model is designed incredibly well to hold four berths, a washroom and living and kitchen areas within its walls.

It has an L-shaped lounge which makes up a double bed in the front, and for the other two berths there is a bunk bed unit on the offside of the caravan, making this ideal for a family of four. The bunk, which sits above the side dinette, drops down when required, allowing more space through the day.

At the back of the caravan, next to the side dinette/bunk unit is the washroom and this holds everything you need, including a shower, a round washbasin and a toilet, all neatly packed together.

In the living area there is a cosy feel with a corner sofa and point for the TV. There is a free-standing table that can be brought out if needed for eating, games or working, and this has the option to be stored away in an allocated section for more floor space at other times, too.

Next to the lounge, the kitchen has a new Thetford Triplex oven with three-burner gas hob, oven and grill and a fridge which sits on the opposite side to the counters. This is a well-lit area with energy-saving LED downlights and it also has chrome fittings, a cutlery tray, removable drainer, storage cupboards and a glass lid covering the sink, creating extra worktop space.

Although this model is small, it is so well designed that it can still hold plenty of storage space and everything you need when away on tour, while still feeling like you are not crammed in. Space-saving ideas such as having the wardrobe above the fridge and a triangular table which hinges down in the lounge, help this.

Other features included in this neat caravan are LED awning and reading lights, awning rails, Grade III thermal insulation, rooflight with blind and separate flyscreen and much more, at such a great price as well!

In this spacious two-berth Xplore there is a large front lounge with parallel settees which can then create the double bed for night-time. There are TV points with dedicated locations for easy viewing, a free-standing table and a removable chest of drawers that has a pull-out table extension, providing plenty of space to relax and enjoy.

Whether you are planning on cooking or getting a takeaway in, the kitchen, which sits along the back of this model, has everything you need, including a Thetford oven, hob, grill, fridge and chrome taps. The fully equipped washroom is on the offside and has a separate, fully lined shower cubicle. There is also a vanity storage unit and mirror and a high-flow submersible pump with controller which turns it off when the water runs out.

There are five berths available in the Xplore 585 model and, with two lounges, there is plenty of space for the whole family, no matter what they want to do.

It is a flexible caravan all round with different areas and beds to be used depending on who is travelling with you.

The cosy L-shaped sofa at the back is perfect to get cosy watching a film, to have as the kids’ den or a double (or single bed if preferred) at night. The lounge in the front could be used for dining, entertaining, relaxing or another double bed. The last berth is created by the one bunk which drops down above the bed at the back.

The lounge on the Xplore 585

Both the lounges are separated by the fully equipped washroom and kitchen areas being in the centre of this model. They hold everything needed while away and all have a sleek and modern feel.

Some features included within this price are a new rooflight, extra-large gas locker compartment, flyscreen, room dividers, double-glazed windows with night ventilation positions, and much more. All within another great price point as well.
