Andy Jenkinson looks at the lightweight 2017 Xplore 526

XPLORE 526 (2017)

LIGHTWEIGHT AFFORDABLE TOURERS were major sellers up until the 1990s. After that, caravan buyers wanted more spec and luxury. Good used lightweights are not always easy to find, but the Xplore range has been around since 2008 and is a good example of the type.

By 2017 - our model year - the Xplore was established as an affordable, easy-to-tow range of tourers. Providing good and sometimes quirky layouts, for many the Xplore was a stepping stone into new caravan ownership.

Over the years the profile has changed, but not hugely, which has kept costs down. There have been spec upgrades since the 2008 models and, with good locker storage and decent soft furnishings, the Xplore is a decent used buy.

Model history

Elddis Xplore models have seen some interesting layouts, some better than others. The 2015 model year saw the launch of the 526, which was designed to offer accommodation for up to six people on a single axle.
