It's very interesting looking at these graphs even a year later!
I'm looking for a minimum 3 berth with a decent spare bed so me and my brother can share.
The carpento is currently coming up trumps now that heating and hot water is now standard on the 2024 models with an increased price too though!
I've got an electric van which is limited to 1000 kg so very limited 😊
Interesting stuff ... love the statistical analysis!
Thanks for this useful review.
It's not on your list, but we opted for the Knaus 400LK double dinette version, for use as a three berth.
The top bunk is restricted to 60kg, but we just use it to store all the bedding during the day. The bottom bunk is wider than a Weinsberg and can accommodate a large child or adult. Overall the Knaus version is a little wider and just slightly longer than the Weinsberg 400LK, with a large central skylight, giving a nicer sense of light and space inside. The Weinsberg is a great package, with the one we looked at having a spare wheel as standard, which I always think is sensible to have. The Weinsberg had a traditional Truma 3004 heater (convertible to electric plus gas for around £500) and an electric only water heater. Our Knaus has a more modern and efficient gas Truma varioheat blown air heater, convertible to electric and gas for around £600. The Knaus build quality is basically the same high quality build as the Weinsberg. I'd recommend that potential buyers look at both variants, and choose the one with the options which best suit.
We had a Hymer Nova 442L a few years ago. This was also a nice van, with a palatial double bed. The downsides were that the bed took up too much space in the daytime for the overall available space. Also, the main storage area was underneath the rear fixed bed, which is far from ideal because of the towing instability caused if storing heavy items in this rear area. I think fixed beds should always be at the front of the caravan, so that you can load the area underneath properly, provided that that the noseweight does not go too high. The front dinette bed in our 442L was weirdly shaped with a cut out at one end which made it too narrow for a larger child.
I think that for vans of this small size, the Hymer Feeling method of having a rooftop bed, or a convetible dinette(s) to free up daytime space, are the best options.
Excellent info thanks!
