CRISTALL Other models

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 910 to 1,390 kg, gross weights from 1,100 to 1,500 kg, lengths from 6,050 to 7,420 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,320 mm.

With lengths of over six metres against gross weights of only up to 1.5 tonnes, these are light caravans that can be towed by more compact vehicles. The narrow gap between unladen and gross weight, in places only around 100 to 200 kilograms, leaves little room for luggage, water or equipment, making an accurate weigh-in before travel important.

On a used caravan of this kind, traces of damp on walls, roof and floor, the condition of windows and seals, the function of the gas system and wiring, and the state of axle, overrun brake and tyres, which on older units often sat unused for long periods, all matter most. Given the slim payload margin of these models, checking the actual unladen weight before buying is also worthwhile, to avoid exceeding the permitted load. Parts for a brand of this size usually come through independent caravan workshops.
