king for something roomy to accommodate a large family? Looks like the Elddis Crusader Tempest caravan could be just the ticket.
It looks like the triple-fixed-bunk set-up is here to stay: the Tempest is the latest player to have its name added to an ever-lengthening team sheet that includes offerings from Bailey (first name on the list), Swift, Lunar, Adria and the Crusader's room mate, the Avante.
Arguably, the Tempest is the most imposing of the three-bunk six-berth contingent. The top-of-the-range Crusader is a big old beast, needing twin axles to accommodate the 20-foot-plus interior length. That's space enough for a full-size lounge at the front and a separate shower cubicle in the washroom.
Phew... There's a lot to get round, then. Better get on with it.
Construction
You could have a torrid time with assorted doors in the Tempest, the worst offender being the entrance door, which left me stranded outside when its notchy handle refused all polite requests to disengage from the latch fully, despite being completely unlocked.
Eventually Coach Satchel Bags on sale, I gained entry by distinctly impolite means, and thenceforth kept the keys in my pocket every time I left the caravan. It repeated the same trick once, then behaved better - but always felt sticky.
Inside, the washroom door has one of those new breed of domestic-style handles, but it was already coming loose and didn't engage properly. The push-button release on the wardrobe door reminded me why I don't really like push-buttons: I pushed and, for a long time, it didn't release. Eventually, it admitted defeat but was still prone to bouts of stubbornness. If this one can be classified as a minor niggle cheap Coach Satchel, the other two would be unacceptable on any caravan, never mind one costing as much as this.
The quality of the joinery elsewhere on board is very good, with the nice, thick woodwork reminding you that you are, after all, in a top-of-the range caravan. Outside, the panels are joined to one another neatly and precisely
Towability
By the time you've decided to make a six-berth on a twin axle and kit it out with most of the available goodies as standard, there's little point in watching the pounds and ounces - you may as well have that second jumbo jam doughnut and be done with it.
So it is, then, that the Tempest weighs in at just under 1900kg if you take full advantage of the available payload. Nothing this side of a Land Cruiser, Pathfinder or
Discovery 4 will suffice. But, busy high streets and sweaty-palm-narrow site entrances notwithstanding, a massive outfit such as this will be superb on the road, with eight wheels providing well-planted roadholding coach diaper, suspension dampers helping to smooth out the bumps and the standard hitch stabilizer providing that extra hand on the tiller. My friends old Discovery V8 made light work of it but, then again, I'd have been gutted if it />
The two rear foglights and a pair of reversing lamps are sensible fitments.
Usability
My guess is that it must be great fun working in the Usability Department up at Elddis Towers. These guys consistently come up with ideas that make it all the way onto the finished product.
For example, a caravan's front lounge is often left 'exposed' when converted into a bedroom at night, but not here: a pull-out concertina blind shuts it off completely to give the occupants on either side of the divide a bit of privacy. It also means the lounge can be pressed into service as a changing/dressing room, a task it's much more suited to than the elbow-bashing confines of the washroom.
Something else: there are two mains sockets in the kitchen, so the kettle and the toaster can be plugged in at the same time. There's another mains socket under the fridge that provides power to the bedroom: handy for charging up the mobile overnight
The exterior gas barbecue point is a fine addition on a family holiday machine s
