2001 Fleetwood Countryside – freedom for great family holidays
Our star range of caravans designed with families in mind has been substantially revised over the past two years to offer a tailored package of space and equipment with a wide choice of layout. Built to take the knocks of everyday living, the Countryside models come equipped with all that you will need for simply brilliant family holidays. The wide body (at 7’3” one of the most spacious around) gives that extra sense of room to move, and all Countryside models feature two seating areas for those times of the day when kids and parents have their own agendas. Established favourites remain, like the 450-4EK, with its mum-friendly kitchen, and the 500-5 with two well separated bedrooms for the optimum privacy, while the twin-axled 580-5 offers all the extra space for moving around and relaxing you could ask for at a price unique in this class.
There is nothing basic about the Countrysides either, as their standard equipment includes blinds and flyscreens, a full domestic cooker, blown air central heating and plenty of well-planned storage. Where children are concerned you cannot be too careful, and so careful placement of power points, elimination of sharp edges and other safety factors have all received attention. |
Despite their reasonable prices, Countryside models offer a special package of sturdiness, space and equipment and are outstanding value for money.
