Elddis Rambler Caravan Overview
The Elddis Rambler is a versatile UK touring caravan range offering between 2 and 6 berths, with prices typically ranging from £8,500 to £26,500. Known for its SoLiD bonded construction and practical layouts, including fixed beds and bunk options, it serves as a functional mid-range choice for both couples and large families. With an MTPLM of 1550kg and a length of 7.35m, it balances internal space with manageable towing weights for many family cars.
- Berth options ranging from 2-berth couples' units to 6-berth family configurations.
- Built using the Elddis SoLiD fully bonded construction system.
- Equipped with Whale 4.3kW space-saving heating and rapid heat water systems.
- Layouts include fixed beds, bunk beds, and twin-axle family configurations.
- Grade 3 thermal insulation for year-round touring capability.
Worth knowing: Interior finishes are designed for functionality and may lack the luxury feel of the Buccaneer or Affinity ranges. Payload is limited to 185kg, which requires careful management when packing for 6 people. External graphics on older models are known to be susceptible to fading.
Buying an Elddis Rambler
Who it suits
- Families requiring up to 6 berths with dedicated bunk bed or fixed bed layouts.
- Couples looking for a 2-berth tourer with a separate circular shower cubicle.
- Year-round tourers who benefit from Grade 3 insulation and 4.3kW heating.
Reasons to consider it
- The SoLiD construction method provides enhanced resistance to water ingress.
- Strong resale demand driven by the established Elddis brand reputation.
- Practical kitchen facilities including an oven, hob, and fridge-freezer as standard.
What to check
- Verify the specific layout, as options range from rear washrooms to twin-axle family setups.
- Inspect the condition of the external graphics, particularly on older used models.
- Confirm the presence of the Whale heating system and its service history.
- Check the upholstery for wear, though it is designed for easy cleaning and longevity.
Worth knowing: Standard models may not include the high-end electronic control panels found in more expensive Elddis tiers. The 185kg payload must accommodate all personal effects, which can be tight for 6-berth users.
