2001 Fleetwood Colchester – the clubman caravan you promised yourself

This is the Fleetwood all-season range – with a peerless blend of quality and user comforts and a 20 year reputation for craftsman built luxury.  The choice of layouts includes both two berth and family designs, and the range stretches from a compact 12’6” two berth through two end-washroom models redesigned for 2001, right up to the space and sheer luxury of the new 500ES and 560, which both feature dedicated end bedrooms.  In the 500 you can even choose between a permanent or two domestic sized single beds. By day enjoy the airy spaciousness of the forward lounge, lit by a wide tilt and slide Remis skylight.  After a day in the countryside, enjoy a meal from the fully equipped kitchen, then snuggle into the sumptuous Reflex foam seating and enjoy the latest film on TV.  After all, your Colchester offers a choice of TV locations, so you can arrange your relaxation to suit your mood.

Designed for all-season touring. All Colchester models come fitted with extra generous storage, so that you will always find somewhere to put those outdoor clothes and woolly jumpers if you are among the growing band who like to tour to see the autumn colours.  And most Colchesters have their own fully fitted shower compartment with the latest ceramic disc mixer controls, so you really can revel in being completely self-contained.

2004 The Colchester

A stylish, affordable, luxury tourer continuing as a firm favourite year on year.

With six layouts including the very popular 560-4EK which was launched last year and the 560-4 with its drop-down bed facility, the options are unlimited, meeting every requirement with style and panache.

Looking for a two berth?  Then either the 420-2 with an end kitchen or the 470-2EB offering an end washroom is the choice for you.  Both have spacious and comfortable lounge areas easily adapted into twins or a double bed with additional storage area.

2005 Colchester Range

Completely re-modernised this year both inside and out and with new, stylish front and rear elevations to complete the picture

Some changes to the layouts mean that this year we offer six models which include the re-launched 380-2 a comfortable, compact 2 berth with end kitchen, two further two-berth models, the 420-2 with a very large end kitchen area and the 470-2EB offering an end washroom.  Both have spacious and comfortable lounge area easily adapted into twins or a double bed with additional storage area underneath.

Four berth layouts include the 520-4EB with a fully fitted end bathroom including separate shower cubicle, vanity unit, large wardrobe and storage cupboards, the 520-4ES offering an added bonus of a front end lounge together with a further full sized double bed and en-suite wash/shower room and the ever popular 560-4EK with a fully fitted end kitchen, centre dinette and “L” shaped lounge and a separate shower area.

The new interiors offer a calming oasis with soft furnishings in cream and caramel chenille enhanced by burnished metallic copper curtains.  These, together with the clever construction of the furniture for which Fleetwood is justly found make ‘Colchester’ one of the most comfortable and stylish caravans in the Clubman class.
