• High-end kitchen equipment including a Thetford Caprice cooker.
• Advanced structural integrity provided by the bonded Alu-Tech bodyshell.

What to check

• Verify the operation of the Alde wet central heating system.
• Inspect the condition of the Otta soft furnishings and high-density foam.
• Confirm the functionality of the Thetford Caprice dual-fuel hob and oven.

While it is heavier than the Bailey Unicorn Seville (1414kg) and the Phoenix Plus 440 (1347kg), it provides a high-specification Alde heating system and a full-width rear washroom that rivals larger models.

Ownership and Maintenance Tips

Utilise the 155kg payload carefully by distributing weight over the axle.
Take advantage of the Bluetooth-enabled Pioneer radio for integrated entertainment.
Regularly inspect the Alu-Tech bonded seams to maintain the structural warranty.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Underestimating the towing requirements for a 1500kg two-berth caravan.
• Neglecting the specific maintenance requirements of the Alde wet heating system.
