BEST CARAVANS

BEST CARAVAN UNDER £20,000

Elddis Xplore 304

Price £18,549 Berths 4 MTPLM 1070kg MiRO 913kg Payload 107kg Shipping length 5.54m Width 2.18m

Elddis’s Xplore 304 has been one of our favourite caravan layouts for years, because it provides you, in effect, with two lounges in a van that is less than 4m long inside - and the larger one remains perfectly roomy.

This year it’s been brought bang upto-date, too, with refreshed exterior graphics and interior upholstery. There’s a new Heki, too. All in all, it looks great - our judges loved the new fresh and modern appearance.

The layout also means that you could, if you wanted to, keep the front lounge as a bed and only use the side dinette.

But the fact that, despite all of the issues with price increases in the supply chain, EHG UK has still managed to keep the price of this van well under £20,000 for 2024 marks it
