PLEASE HELP!

We're about to take a leap into caravan ownership again after a 15 year hibernation period as non-campers. The shortlist has been eroded down to three Jurgens models: new Penta, new Palma, or used Exclusive (previous generation).

Does anyone have any gems of wisdom regarding these three caravans?

This will be a personal choice. I have always prefered the Penta to the Palma. But I also prefered the pre 2005 model. You will need to look @ storage & movability. The Exclusive is a big van & can be a hand full, but lots of people love them as can be seen by the numbers on the road. You need to ask yourself what are your needs, ie hot / cold water on tap. Your own ablutions, shower etc, or are you happy to use the camp site facilities.
