About the Compass CASITA 585

The Compass Casita 585 is a standout choice for British families seeking a versatile and robust touring caravan. Its innovative design is centred around a unique rear lounge, making it particularly appealing for those with children. This dedicated space transforms effortlessly from a daytime play area into a sleeping zone with a fold-away bunk bed system, ensuring everyone has their own space. Built using the pioneering SoLiD Construction method, which utilises chemical bonding for a stronger and drier shell, the 585 is engineered to withstand the unpredictable UK weather while offering enhanced durability and resistance to water ingress.

Inside, the 'Stargazer' panoramic rooflight floods the central living area with natural light, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. The well-appointed kitchen features premium Thetford appliances, while Grade III thermal insulation and the Whale 4kW heating system ensure the caravan remains a cosy retreat for year-round adventures. Its single-axle chassis provides an excellent balance of manoeuvrability and stability, making it a premium yet accessible option for many tow cars.
