Carado makes changes up front and up top

Carado has redesigned the front profile and cab and raised the height of its A-class models, and is making a raising roof an option on all of its special edition van conversions.

The new facade on the Erwin Hymer Group subsidiary’s A-classes now includes a chrome grille with the Carado logo in the centre, and LED headlights with their own signature.

Inside, the dashboard in the cab now includes more storage spaces, and you get a new storage cupboard between the passenger seat and the window. The dashboard has also been redesigned to remove any visible screw points and so give off a more streamlined appearance.

Overall height on the A-classes has been increased to 2.9m.

The raising roof will be an option on all Edition 15 van conversions, brought out to celebrate the company’s 15th birthday.

Accessed via a telescopic ladder, the black roof’s interior includes a mattress on slats and with a goose-neck light complete with integrated USB ports. The tent fabric can be completely opened at the front, while the roof itself includes a rooflight.

Edition15 special editions are also being brought out for all of Carado’s A-classes, van conversions and low profiles including its slimline van range. This effectively gets you a Basic Pack and Style Pack, a more powerful 140bhp engine, alloy wheels, an, awning, an extra external access locker, and other extras including the possibility of converting the rear two single beds into a double, all for a set price of either £3,280 on low-profiles or £2,410 on van conversions.

Peter Baber is Reviews Editor of both Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan. He has been reviewing motorhomes for the best part of a decade now. His first caravan reviews date back to the early 1990s when he first worked on Practical Caravan, before he embarked on a 20-year career in business journalism which saw him edit a wide variety of magazines, and launch a few too, including one that won an award. Although he enjoyed that, he always knew he wanted to come back. Peter reports on all the new models that make it to dealer forecourts each season, giving his judgement online and in magazine reviews. He has twice been shortlisted for a Caravan Writers Guild award. When he is not working, apart from going on motorhome trips himself (mostly local to where he lives in West Yorkshire, but also last year right across France) he likes trying to write novels, cooking, throwing the odd pot, and has just taken up tennis.
