Why the La Mancelle Liberty 440 PC caravan?

Our search for a cool caravan took us away from British shores, to a French company that has a history stretching back to 1960. But we didn’t have to cross the Channel to find one. La Mancelle caravans – made in Le Mans – are now imported by the Marquis group, and they are on display at Marquis’s branches in Surrey, Exeter, Durham, South Yorkshire, Northants and Suffolk.

There are four models – and we decided the two with the coolest lines are the Liberty 440 PC and slightly longer Liberty 490 SA. Both have stunningly angled front lines. Which would the judges choose? It was a close call – and the 440 won.

What does it have to offer?

The cool part, apart from the stunning exterior lines, is the horseshoe-shaped lounge, with a telescopic table that can be moved around to suit, and which also becomes part of the double bed base. A large triangular window above the lounge, rounded shelf areas on the fore end of the kitchen, and blue-mauve lighting in the shower/toilet compartment are more head-turning features of the 440.

All the kit you’d expect is here, including an oven/grill and a three-burner hob with an extractor fan above it. There’s also an on-board water tank.

Why the La Mancelle Liberty 440 PC caravan?

Why did our judges pick La Mancelle as the coolest caravan? Because there is nothing comparable in front-line shape and lounge design on the British market, and because, if you are looking for an attention-grabbing caravan, you have found it here.

La Mancelle 440s are at Marquis branches at Surrey, Exeter and South Yorkshire.
