2003 The Volante

Click to read: David Webb of Fleetwood Caravans says the Volante is "basically a Heritage on a single axle"

Introducing the new Volante, combining all the ease of a single axle with the spacious luxury usually found within a twin axle model.  Comfortable, luxurious and elegant, for those with an eye for quality and a desire for unlimited touring, Fleetwood has once again provided the answer.

Offering a choice of three models, all with ‘L’ shaped lounge and centre kitchens, from the compact 2 berth 470-2EB with end bathroom to the spacious 560-4 with forward entrance door and separate twin (or optional double) bedroom at the rear.  With a choice of three exquisite chenille soft furnishing options, co-ordinating cushions and curtains and elegant furniture – the Volante continues the Fleetwood magic.

Allied to such a comprehensive list of standard features is the introduction of white framed double glazed windows and a wire-less Fleetwood security system with key-fob operation to ensure maximum peace of mind, all within the efficiently used wide body that accommodates everyone with ease.
