ELDDIS OSPREY 550 SPECIAL EDITION
Price £21,899 Berths 4 MTPLM 1412kg MIRO 1259kg
THIS SPECIAL-EDITION CARAVAN from the Atherstone-based Raymond James dealership is part of the seven-van Osprey range, which includes four single-axles that come in at under 1500kg MTPLM and three 8ft-wide twin-axle models at under 1760kg.
They are based on Elddis tourers (the Avanté 550 in this case), but packed with extra kit. Prices start at £20,995.
This van rides on an Al-Ko chassis with stylish alloy wheels, an AKS 3004 stabiliser, ATC electronic stability control and a spare wheel in a cradle underneath.
That’s everything you need to make towing as pleasurable, assured and safe as possible. An Al-Ko wheel lock (you get two with the twin-axles) is also part of the package.
We tested the 550 at tranquil Atherstone Stables campsite, just outside this pretty Warwickshire town.
The van was easy to tow and manoeuvre, and we were soon lowering the Osprey-spec heavy-duty corner
