Unbiased reviews of the latest static caravan models
It is very rare for any manufacturer of holiday homes to produce a four bedroom model. But that is what Pemberton has done for the 2011 season. Named the Berkley, the new 40ft x 13ft home comes from a company with over 60 years experience in producing holiday homes to meet the needs of the public.
Anyone looking for a top quality static caravan will have to go a long way to find one better than the Carnaby Essence. It is a single 40ft x 13ft two bedroom home. Its ex works price is way above the majority of similar size holiday homes, but having said that, it does come virtually complete – even down to duvets and pillowcases.
The Burgundy is the Swift group’s entry level holiday home. It is a 32ft x 12ft single unit two bedroom home, with woodgrain textured aluminium cladding built on the company’s Zinphos painted chassis which carries a three year warranty. A galvanised chassis with a 10 year warranty is one of the home’s optional extras together with double glazing and gas central heating.
For the 2011 season, the BK Bluebird division of Willerby Holiday Homes has introduced a new model – the Seville – which had its launch at the Lawns Show in September.
Willerby Holiday Homes must be doing something right in view of the fact that the company has produced the Mk 4 version of its two bedroom Winchester holiday home. And it also has a three bedroom option, plus an Outlook model featuring French doors.

Externally, there is nothing about the Bordeaux which is radically different to many other single unit holiday homes. The standard model has a painted chassis, a steel pantile roof, and woodgrain textured sandstone aluminium cladding. In the end wall of the lounge are three windows, the centre one being profiled to follow the lines of the vaulted roof. French doors are the option here.
If you’re in the market for a holiday home which won’t cost as much as medium priced car, then Willerby’s three bedroom Salisbury Select home could be just what you are looking for. Or there’s a two bedroom version it that’s what takes your fancy.
The 39ft x 12ft two bedroom Ridgeway holiday home is one of 15 models which Carnaby is producing for the 2010 season. There are in fact three main ranges: Melrose; Ridgeway; and Rosedale, plus a single Highgrove model being the fourth. Within the Ridgeway range are one 34ft x 12ft model, two 37ft x 12ft models – one of which has three bedrooms – and two 39ft x 2ft versions, one having two bedrooms and one three bedrooms. The model reviewed here is the 39ft x 12ft two bedroom home.
