Whirlwind is the new entry-level range from Elddis. Light in weight and with prices designed for affordability, there’s a two-berth, three four- berths and two six-berths.
Contradicting its entry-level status, Whirlwind models have an impressively quality look and feel, with charming neutral shade fabrics and woodwork tones, plus a delightful pop of colours for the curtain tie backs and cushions that bring together peach fawn, blue, grey and white.
Prices start at £24,749 for the two-berth 520, which has a spacious rear shower room. Its MTPLM is just 1,340kg.

The Whirlwind range also features three maximum-width (2.45m), twin-axle models. All are priced at £30,749. These are the six-berths 840 and the 868. The 840, a four-berth, has a rear double bed with the shower room alongside it. The 868 has a family bedroom with a double bed and bunks alongside it. The shower room is amidships. The four-berth 860 has a transverse double bed and a central shower room. These three models range in MTPLM from 1,710kg to 1,748kg.
