A lightweight six berth family caravan.
The Elddis Xplore 586 is a single axle, six berth caravan designed for families seeking a functional layout without excessive towing weight. It features fixed rear bunks, a side dinette, and a front lounge, all within a 7.35 metre length.

- Built using the SoLiD fully bonded structural system.
- Whale 4kW underfloor heating and rapid heat water system.

The Elddis Xplore 586 occupies a specific niche for families needing six berths on a lightweight single axle. While alternatives like the Bailey Phoenix offer a higher MTPLM of 1600kg and the Sprite Major provides a longer 7.54 metre body, the Xplore 586 focuses on accessibility for lighter tow vehicles with its 1370kg MTPLM. It balances a compact 7.35 metre length with a high 179kg payload, though it uses more functional interior materials compared to higher-priced alternatives.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 179kg payload carefully to distribute weight over the single axle.
- Make use of the individual reading lights at the fixed bunks to manage evening lighting.
- Ensure the 2.18 metre width is considered when selecting storage pitches.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 179kg payload when packing for six people.
- Assuming all mid-sized cars can tow the 1370kg MTPLM without checking the towing limit.
Worth knowing: High occupancy levels will naturally reduce the available floor space.
