The top of the range Crusader is the best equipped and luxurious of the Elddis range.

Despite the premium status, superb looks and striking new Interior makeover, the Elddis Crusader continues to provide outstanding value for money.

We've even added a superb new Cyclone island double bed twin axle model to the impressive 9-model line-up for 2007.

Crusader 2007 Vitual Tour

Black coach lines with chrome edged decals, enhanced silver and black aero style graphics and the simply stunning Seitz privacy windows make the Crusader stand out from the crowd.

The stunning Seitz side and rear flush fitting privacy windows, exclusive to The Explorer Group in the UK, allow you to see out, but prevent your neighbours from seeing in. The tint helps to reflect rays from the sun that damage upholstery and can assist in keeping the interior cooler on the sunniest of days. Glare from the sun is also substantially reduced with minimal effect on the amount of actual light entering the vehicle.

All Crusader are built on the impressive BPW Swing V-Tech chassis with a Winterhoff WS3000 stabiliser and easy action handbrake, balanced alloy wheels and a clever nose weight indicator as standard.

Outside you will also find a highly reflective rear visibility panel, heavy-duty corner steadies, an awning warmer and an exterior gas barbecue point.

The new Ellbee one-piece exterior locker door features a slide-opening window with integral fly screen and storage compartment.

The exterior access door opens to reveal a handy 230v output socket, ideal for when you want to watch TV in your awning.

The front gas locker has been modified to take the new BP Light gas bottle as well as traditional steel cylinders.

Crusader has been given a full make over with a choice of two striking new upholsteries and coordinating soft furnishings to choose from. Both offer superb styling, practicality and excellent value for money.

The front chest of drawers in parallel lounge models is easily removed to form a wraparound seating arrangement using the optional infill seat base and backrest cushions.

Montreal Maple veneer furniture and wallboard give the interior appearance real warmth. Whilst all worktops and occasional table tops, are finished with decorative laminate.

The 2007 Elddis Crusader is packed with a host of special features 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.

Colour coordinated Horrex folding doors provide lightweight privacy.

The Sony CD/Radio now features I-Pod/MP3 connectivity via a hard-wired jack plug socket.

The Kitchen

The 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 Prima Mark3 oven and 550w 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. All store neatly on top of the bespoke silver washing up bowl underneath the Chinchilla glass sink cover.

The space saving sink frees up more work surface making meal preparation even easier.

Dometic's elegantly styled RM7291L 93ltr power fridge with its curved Montreal Maple veneer door is standard in all single axle models. The 150ltr Dometic 7651L fridge freezer is provided with all fixed bed twin axle Crusader. All refrigerators feature Electronic ignition.
