This five-model range with a Scandinavian theme is set to be even more popular with design-conscious couples and families thanks to its increased range of practical and luxury features.

The 'Eccles’ distinctive exterior with its bright glacier white bodyshell and matching front gutter mounding and end caps is enhanced for 2008 with new graphics. The attractive new front panel incorporates special shaped windows, while the new rear moulded panel is sleek and strong with modern light clusters.

Heavy duty corner steadies are strong and more stable than conventional corner steadies and an AKS 3004 stabiliser helps prevent “snaking” on the road. Alloy wheels, new alarm system and wet locker add to the appeal.

This impressive specification continues inside with new soft furnishings and new spaceframe technology seat construction, which means seats are precision-built and strong with easy access to generous underseat storage via the full-front access flaps. A large free-standing table has plenty of room for four place settings.

Entertainment options are wide-ranging thanks to a new radio/CD/MP3 player, which comes as standard.

Kitchens have a new 107-litre fridge with a curved door and full-width freezer compartment. There is a dual fuel hob with three gas rings and one electric ring, to save gas if needed, gas grill and full size oven. An Omnivent extractor fan and rooflight extracts kitchen fumes and lets in fresh air. Other interior features are framed windows with plated blinds on the sides and rear and loose-fit carpets, which are easily removed for cleaning.

Bed tops with beech sprung slats that have cantilever action for comfort and easy access to storage underneath while fixed beds have strong aluminium frames.

All models have shower cubicles or separate walk-in showering areas. All have stylish, high quality fixtures and fittings such as chrome finish shower equipment and Thetford electric flush cassette toilet with independent tank.
