IF indefinable quality is top of your wish list, you’ll find that in the Elddis Crusader Supersirocco, and a lot more besides.
There’s a fixed bed, large fridge/freezer, separate rear dressing/washroom, inboard water, twin-axle stability and privacy glass.
Crusaders have been top-spec caravans for more then 25 years, and the flagship Supersirocco lives up to its ‘super’ nametag.
The layout: L-shaped lounge, L-shaped kitchen opposite the fridge/freezer, fixed bed and full-width rear washroom.
You’ve got the idea; it’s a luxury two-berth that also sleeps four. The lounge is a little small for four at mealtimes and not perfect for two, if you want to sit opposite each other. It is, though, perfect for dining while watching telly. Upholstery design is modern and timelessly classy.
Lighting come
s in shades of pale green (LED strips that define front and bedroom windows) plus yellow-hue spotlights and large corner light, all 12-volt-powered. The kitchen gets a strip light over the hob – spots would’ve been more classy, but the whole effect is pleasing. Towards the end of the day you’ll be wanting to turn on the lights earlier because the privacy tint windows give the caravan a cold, subdued look.
Nothing cold about the heating system, though, with plenty of outlets for the blown air including two in the washroom. Storage all round gets top marks, too. The shower is superbly spacious, with a dark grey tile-effect of wonderfully simplistic style. And the toilet is the new ceramic sort.
All this luxury comes at a price; the Supersirocco weighs in at a hefty 1897kg.
The layout puts this firmly into the two-plus-two category; its greatest appeal is to couples, but you do also have the second double bed that makes out of the L-shaped lounge. This one deserves eight out of 10 at least, because the specification and build quality is so high.
