Well I've seen yours so I'll show you mine (ours!) This is our 2005 Trailcraft 540 Panorama that we have just got as our first caravan.
Good sized double bed without the need of the bolster, and plenty of walk around space with the bed in the sleeping position - one of the attactions too us.
View from the bed over the seating area to the kitchen/shower/loo and door.
Thanks for your positive comments folks. Just fitted a $300 powered jockey wheel (rated to 2200Kg) and seems to move it fine on level hardstand. This may mean we will use it more often after the 90 minute session of putting it into the driveway the first time!
No good leaving it in the driveway ,driveaway to your chosen destination would be much better.
By the way,it is much safer to park your van with the hitch not facing the road as that will deter thieves.
Needing more holidays! - still got around 17 years left to work (bu##er!) I hear you regarding the direction of the van in the driveway, but the other way we wouldn't be able to get in it. You can't see it in the photo's but there is a nice heavy chain and quality padlock around the wheels and a tree, also the hitch is padlocked so they will need to be determined. Our other driveway goes into the back garden but we cannot get the caravan into it due to a verge tree blocking the driveway, there being no official crossover.
My next job is to fabricate two more 'double' hinges to allow both sets of gate pintles to be moved to the back of the gate posts rather than the sides - I had to take the gates off as well as the pintles to get the van in there! Hoping our first trip will be to a rogaine in May.
Getting in to our drive was a close call narrow street, tree on the other side of road and less then 10 foot opening.
Coming home and backing into the drive way was not to bad just needed to be super careful. It really was the going out, going forward to as far across the road as I could then turning as the van went down the drop of from the foot path the van would become so close to gate and hinge once taking the eyelet for the chain off the cap for the pole storage pipe. Side bounce that did it, My wife was watching she could not believe what she saw thinking I had a couple of inches to spare.
This is how I fixed my situation a bit of over kill needing to keep the gates and fence as we were still at that time looking after pets and needing to keep the fence.
At first I looked around for cheap gate, then the concrete drive, best move, now all the right hand side of van is garden and shrubs mostly (no Mowing). I can home it don't mater how tried I am after a long day of caravaning the van goes in first time maybe with a little straightning and it looks good.
Now the right side is all garden great. no more dead grass from being in the shade.
Good sized double bed without the need of the bolster, and plenty of walk around space with the bed in the sleeping position - one of the attactions too us.

Couple of views od the outside.
Hoping our first trip will be to a rogaine in May.
