QWhat are the most popular designs of caravan layouts on the market, these days?

AThere are a dozen or so really popular layouts on the market. These are designed to suit couples and families, and some fall

across both markets quite nicely. Of course, almost every year, one of the manufacturers will come up with a new and innovative design.

Most recently, clever mid-washrooms have been all the rage with spacious bedrooms behind, neatly sºeparated from the caravan lounge and kitchen.

On this spread, we've featured 14 of the most popular British layouts. There's something here for everyone: couples, small and large families, and those who like the versatility to entertain and accommodate friends and family from time to time.

This list covers most of the popular UK caravan layouts, but is not comprehensive. Continental makers offer different flooplans, but remember to check that the caravan door is on the 'correct' (British) side – the nearside.
