What is a U-Shape Lounge in a Caravan?
A U-shape lounge (or U-shaped lounge) is a seating arrangement that wraps around three sides of a table, creating an enclosed, intimate seating area. This configuration is often found at the rear of caravans, where large windows create a light, airy space. U-shape lounges convert to generous double beds and offer the most seating capacity of common lounge configurations. They're particularly popular for entertaining and for owners who prioritise daytime living space. The U-shape can feel cosy when seated but may require someone to move for others to exit.
