Weighing only 893kg, the new Xplore 304 packs beds for four into less than four metres.
Beds for four are achieved by means of an L-shaped lounge that makes into a double bed, plus two bunks forming from a dining area tucked away into the offside rear corner.
This diminutive tourer is a masterpiece of ingenious caravan layout design which also gives you a shower-toilet room that’s amazingly spacious considering the size of the caravan. As also seen in the two-berth Xplore 302, the designers had a helping hand in drawing up this layout, in the form of a new heating system that does not impose a restriction on layout.
Whereas the more commonly-found Truma blown air system needs a heater unit to be integrated into the furniture, the new Whale heater in the 302 and 304 is installed beneath the floor. Two floor-level outlets push air around the caravan. Removing the layout constraint of a Truma heater enabled Elddis to put the fridge beneath the wardrobe where otherwise they would have had to make space for a Truma heater. And that, in turn, means that the kitchen gets a large cupboard.
The shower-toilet room is larger than you might expect for a caravan of this size. The shower area is square, and bordered by a simple curtain.
This unique four-berth configuration is utterly brilliant in its achievement of a holiday home for four in only 3.7 metres of body length and 893kg of unladen weight. Even if you load this caravan to its maximum (which, with four aboard, you probably would), you’re only towing 1050kg, which puts this caravan comfortably into the Astra/Golf class.
