Inside the 2006 Elddis Crusader is packed with a host of improvements including Explorer’s exclusive ‘So Comfortable’ domestic quality pocket sprung mattress to fixed bed models. As the name implies this mattress is ‘So Comfortable’, you are assured of the best night sleep you may ever have had in a caravan.

All Crusaders are upholstered in the stunning Bekaert 'M' check interior colour scheme in darkest blue and beige, with extra lumbar cushioning.

The Elddis styling continues with black control panels, sockets, light switches, and all worktops and occasional table tops, are finished with silver grey granite effect decorative laminate. Colour coordinated Remis folding doors replace the heavy solid wood partition doors.

The Kitchen

The new Spinflo 3 burner hob with high speed multifunction burner can accommodate large sauce pans up to 25cm, round and flat bottom woks up to 36cm and frying pans up to 24cm. Add to this the new Prima Mark3 oven and microwave oven supplied as standard and a simple cooked breakfast to a full evening meal are easily catered for.

The Argent stainless steel linen effect sink comes complete with a chopping board and removable drainer, as well as a cup, side plate and cutlery drainer that clips onto the Chinchilla glass sink cover. All store neatly inside the bespoke silver washing up bowl. The space saving sink frees up more work surface making meal preparation even easier. Dometic’s new RM7291L 90ltr power fridge is a new addition and elegantly styled with its curved Montreal Maple veneer door.

The Crusader Super Sirocco model goes one further with the new 7651L fridge freezer.
