Woodie106 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 yeah - then i woke up!! http://metro. co. uk/2014/07/28/at-600000-the-cr-1-carbon-caravan-is-very-much-an-upwardly-mobile-home-4813340/ Nice to dream though. ................

Seaman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Wow!!! That is one awesome bit of kit, that requires a seriously capable towcar. It does make the run of the mill caravans look just a teeny bit inadequate. Would I want one, NO!!! If you have that kind of money, I doubt caravanning would be at the top of the list of activities. However if one of you guys was to buy one, I would love to be your personal valet for a suitable retainer and free use of your outfit!!

StuBob Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Note: it doesn't say much about the nose weight! or the MTPLM either! mind you with the latest Carbon Fibre technologies it might be OK to tow with a Fiat Panda, once you ditch the washing machine & Dryer of course . ..

Durbanite Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Most 4 x 4s would be able to tow the unit however as per American units the nose weight would probably be about 200kg and you require a special hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderDave Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) i think when it was launch a few months ago they said it was about 6000 lbs . http://www. caravantalk. co. uk/community/topic/93456-carbon-fibre-caravans/?hl=carbon Prices will tumble if a major mass production company took to making carbon fibre caravans .

Bobby Brocklebank Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Been saying for years don't know why caravan manufactures don't take a page out the aircraft industry. .. Monocouqe design made of MMMF's. Strength with reliability and very light in weight. .. Cost would be a problem. ...... GAS . .
