Is the Compass Casita 585 a practical family caravan?
The Compass Casita 585 is a versatile five-berth caravan designed for families, featuring a unique rear lounge and bunk bed system. Built with SoLiD Construction and Grade III thermal insulation, it is equipped for year-round UK touring. Its single-axle design and 1460kg MTPLM make it a manageable option for many tow cars while providing dedicated zones for children and adults.
- Versatile rear lounge with a fold-away bunk bed system.
- Built using SoLiD Construction for water ingress protection.
- Whale 4kW high-powered heating and Grade III insulation.
- Large Stargazer panoramic front rooflight for natural light.
