Carado C 363

Carado C 363

Carado has 9 caravan layouts in the new model range. The company sees the products as upper low end of the caravan market. The interior width is 2.18 meters and there’s 1.95 m of headroom. The wall thickness is 34 mm and the floor thickness 41 mm. Cold form mattresses are standard just like in Carado’s motorhomes. An indirect lighting is used in seating areas, but there are also spotlights. The refrigerator is 113 litres with 11 litres freezer. The washrooms have been upgraded from the previous versions. The Thetford WC connects to the 45-litre water tank. The standard heater is Truma S 3002 with automatic ignition.

The accessories emphasize on practicality and all in all the accessory level is really good for an entry level caravan. There are also some optional extras to choose from. Electric floor heating is now available as an option. Another option is Winterhoff safety coupling. The exterior can be ordered with an optional smooth plate.

The look and feel seems to match Carado motorhomes, which provide a good bang for the bucks. The furniture decor is Canadian walnut.

Caravan range

The range starts from C 100 with a body length of 4 meters. There’s curved seating area in the front, which can be converted into a double bed. The kitchen is located at the back of the caravan.

The C 419 is a completely new layout in the mid-size category. It’s length is 6.57 meters and width 2.32 meters. The layout has a king size “american style” bed in the rear and a curved seating area in the front. The pass-through area at the rear is also accessible from the outside. The storage space is shown in the photo below.
