Where can I get caravan specs??

Options
Not sure if this is the place but having just camped at the Greenbelt festival we have decided that we are too old for that and would like to buy a small pop top caravan, Rapido, Fleurette, Tamaris etc.
But where can I get info to decipher model numbers etc?

    When I read the thread title I thought you mean't glasses for caravans

    As they are all made in Europe ask the importers.

    The numbers normally relate to the length and berths ie. a 10/2 would be a ten foot long 2 berth.

    Gobur Caravans have a web site. Rapido have an owners club.

    Have a look what's for sale on ebay the descriptions normally include length weight etc

    Thanks, was worried about putting this on the motoring section, thought I might get abuse, I have already tried those, the Rapido owners club site seems to be defunct, sales does not work and they don't answer emails.
    Rapido importers only deal with motorhomes! Not caravans anymore, same on the French site.
    Look here and several models listed, http://www.findacaravan.co.uk/listings/search/category:touring-caravans/make:rapido/photos:0
    Nowhere can I find the difference between club, 90, 31, 31t, 31tdl, 32 etc.
    Another rant, why put "good for year" and then don't tell you the year in the add? Had this several times! Rant over.

    Trawling the sales adverts and comparing all the different models / features.

    Unless you can find older brochures on ebay.

    What's your cars gross towing weight? Unladen kerbweight? Engine size/power?

    Three Shires Campers and BCH Camping have ads in the CCC club magazine offering to buy folding campers etc so maybe they could help.
