The New 'Stealth' Caravan Launches 360º Panoramic Tours Online

WE'RE intrigued....!

Dunster House, a long established British company, is normally more well known for it's range of log cabins, summerhouses, climbing frames etc, but they have put out a press release which is very interesting.

They are to launch a brand new make of caravan, the 'Stealth' to compete against the mainstream brands. The 'Stealth' will be revealed at the NEC Motorhome & Caravan Show in October 2009.

They have also launched a black and mysterious looking website, containing just a few snippets of info about the fantastically named Stealth caravan.

WHAT they've told us so far....

The new 'Stealth X-Class' range of medium to large caravans (including a 2+1 Berth, 4+1 Berth and a 6 Berth) will bring a totally new perspective to high-end mainstream caravans. The Stealth X-Class Range will be available in 3 different trim levels: S, SE and SE-L.

Manufactured by a caravan owner who has designed the 'Stealth' to reduce the compromises that caravans place on the users. There will be revolutionary new layouts, contemporary interior finishes and exterior design. The interior will be in Matt 'Cream' veneer and SE and SE-L models will come with high gloss interior laminate.

Dunster House identified a brief that had to be achieved to bring the traditional caravan up to date, including:

* Exterior & layout: AL-KO Chassis with Hitch Stabiliser
* LED front and rear road lights
* 3D Aerodynamic Nose Cone - black nose cone to stop "yellowing"
* Class leading interior floor to ceiling heigh 6'5''
* Privacy Tint Double Glazed Windows
* 4 skylights
* 5 mains sockets and exterior coaxial hook-up point
* Easy access twin gas locker doors - no bending over the tow hitch to access
* "Garage" under rear bed with no utility intrusions and unique external access - Ideal storage space for awnings, deck chairs, folding bikes, etc.
* A unique exterior design - Allowing for an interior layout that traditional caravans could not achieve.
* Modern Interior decor - Absolutely no abstract or flowery patterns. Clean, simple lines and high-end finishes - more like a home than a caravan
* Ultimate luxury in bedroom 4'6" Wide Fixed Island Bed with no corner cut-offs - Ultimate in luxury with access to three sides
* Solid sliding door to bedroom (not concertina curtain)- A lightweight solid door to block light, leaving full privacy whilst sleeping
* Kitchen & living area: Large kitchen work surface - making food preparation easier
* Dual Fuel Hob (Electric & gas)
* Sink with permanent drainer
* 10ltr Combi boiler with "Invisible" blown air heater
* Shoe rack next to entrance door
* Spacious unique bathroom space End washroom with large separate shower (more powerful) - A comfortable luxurious washroom to wash and dress in privacy
* Ceramic Bowl (easy to clean) toilet with large 19.5ltr waste cartridge

Alex Murphy, MD of Dunster House says "We have designed a new caravan range from scratch based on personal experience and lots of reviews of current products. Our range offers a fresh look and one that is in keeping with up-to-date modern tastes."

We say ... bring it on, we can't wait to see this caravan in the flesh. Should certainly make some waves in the industry, with it's modern looks, and clever design features.

Turn the heat up in your Stealth Caravan - Latest Release 07 July 2010

At Stealth Caravans, they know how important heating is in your Caravan, so they have introduced some valuable systems to help your stay in the luxury caravan a much more comfortable experience.

A powerful heater gives you the ability to control your environment - With a high Maximum Output, you choose just how warm you want it, without having to worry about the heater struggling to keep up. It is of great importance that your caravan heats up quickly and at the touch of a button, that’s why Dunster House’s Blown Air heating systems give you just that.

Dunster House know that a fireplace heater in a caravan can be a worry, not only if there are small children and pets nearby, but it also takes up valuable space that could be used more efficiently for so many other applications. That is why all new Defiant caravan’s will be fitted with a Hidden Truma Combi 6E Heater/Boiler with ‘Invisible’ blown air heating.

This hidden heating system has a 6KW max output, twice as powerful as a typical Caravan Heater. The blown air system moves the heat to just where it is needed. The system heats up quickly and the integrated system is hidden within the caravan, providing rapid warmth without the need of a fireplace unit.

New and exciting changes to the current Stealth range, plus further developments - released 23rd June 2010

Firstly, the Adjustments to the Naming Structure for Stealth Caravans: When we first began, we decided to order our naming convention like so:- For example - Stealth X58 SE-L. The X58 part of our name represented the layout of the caravan while the SE-L represented the trim level. We would now like to announce that the three trim levels: S, SE and SE-L will be replaced with three new ranges:

VALIANT- Affordable luxury touring. Anyone can enjoy a Stealth with the Valiant range, which includes AL-KO AKS 3004 stabiliser for stable towing, double glazed tinted windows, plus Flyscreens and Sunblinds fitted to all Windows and skylights. Also fully bonded Wall, Floor and Roof panels and concealed warm air heating system giving up to 4kW max heat output.

INTREPID - Top of the range Caravans to turn anyone's heads. With all of the features of the Valiant range plus a 800W Microwave, automatic ignition fridge, 4 ring dual fuel hob and drop-in loose fit carpets, available in two different colours.

DEFIANT - Super Luxury range of caravans with a specification to match. Including AL-KO secure portable wheel locks, external gas barbeque point and caravan tracking system, this is more than just caravanning, this is the luxury holiday experience.

A new Stealth Caravan designation would be, for example, a Stealth Defiant X58. By bringing our naming structure in line with other caravan manufacturers and having the layout notations at the end of the caravan name, we believe that it will be easier for our customers to make direct comparisons between our ranges and other ranges on the market, thus making a better, more informed choice.

The New Stealth Q58

The New Stealth Q63

PHASE ONE of our exciting new endeavour is now complete. We are proud to produce the UK's only 'Full End Island Bed and End Washroom' caravan. We have grabbed the public's attention and provided a choice of layouts never previously seen on the market. The attention and support that the caravan press has given us has been invaluable. It is now time for us to announce to you, our much anticipated PHASE TWO.

Introducing the New 'Stealth' Models:- PHASE TWO

We're proud to launch the next step for the Stealth caravan, the Q-Class. This will include two completely new layouts including the Q58 (addition to the single axle caravan range) and the Q63 (the large spacious twin axle). The 'End Washroom, Side Bed Layout' will be popular with both families and couples and uniquely, staying true to the Stealth philosophy, will feature a full square mattress.

The New 'Stealth Q-Class Front Window The new 'Q-Class models will be the first to feature a front window upon a Stealth Caravan. Our unique Overseal Constructed nosecone for these caravans will be of a new evolutionary design, allowing a window to bring a light and airy feel to the front seating area, without allowing damp and moisture in.

Our 6 year water ingress guarantee will continue across the whole range, demonstrating our confidence in the quality and integrity of our unique construction method.

The New 'Stealth' Caravan Launches 360º Panoramic Tours Online - released 19/04/2010

After the success at the NEC Boat and Caravan Show in February, Dunster House have launched a brand new 360 degree Panoramic Tour online to give customers an alternative chance to view the Stealth.

NEC Boat and Caravan Show 2010 Update...
Record sales were taken over the weekend of the show, yet another assurance to everyone that Stealth Caravans are here to stay...

The public were thrilled at their first opportunity to view the finished production models. Customer comments were overwhelmingly positive, with the quality and finish impressing everyone.

Two new options were unveiled as well. Grey carpets being offered as an alternative to the Stealth's standard 'Biscuit' carpets as well as the new grey Stealth nose cone. Both these options proved popular, with over 90% of customers at the show taking advantage of the no cost upgrade and opting for the grey carpets.

With queues once again extending off the stand, Dunster House tried their hardest to ensure that anyone curious about the newest revolutionary addition to the caravan industry got the chance to look, whilst also ensuring that all of their customers had the chance to enjoy a Stealth as well before signing on the dotted line.

The Stealth website turns 360º...
For those customers who are so keen that they can't wait to visit and see the Stealth, there is now the option of viewing a Stealth caravan online through a 360º Panoramic tour. They have a full screen option so you can zoom in and feel at home in the Stealth before deciding to make that all important purchase.

Dunster House, a successful long established British manufacturer has a unique approach to selling. They not only do their own manufacturing, but also sell direct to customers. This is no different for the Stealth Caravan - the caravans will be sold direct to consumers via their own network of sites. There is no need to use dealer networks as Dunster House have got a dedicated manufacturing team, led by an industry expert and experienced sales team that together provide the complete personal customer service.

Customers can now buy the new 'Stealth' through several different ways - you can buy the caravan either by phone, go online or to ensure that you get the full 'Stealth' experience and best deals available visit one of Dunster House's multiple show sites around the UK.

“A panoramic tour is great,” Alex Murphy, Managing Director of Dunster House writes, “It gives a great feeling of actually standing inside the 'Stealth' and seeing just what it is that everyone is talking about!
Without a network of dealers, it can sometimes be hard for customers who in particular live in out of the way locations to see our caravans. It is well worth the trip to see us, even just for a coffee and a chat. But for those who can't; our website is a great way to fall in love with Stealth.”

More details released 14/09/2009

A unique nosecone on the Stealth is designed to prevent water forcing it's way in during travel. A traditional caravan design has the join between the nose and the roof on the front of the caravan and can be subject to water penetration when driving. On the Stealth the nosecone lips over the roof and thus water is taken away from this area during travel. Also to combat the traditional problems of water penetration our body design uses an unusual twin sealing technique.

We wanted to create a caravan that was far more modern looking. As a result all the trims on Stealth are body-colour. White awning rails and door frames make for a cleaner look to the sides of the van, invisible fixings to the wheel arches mean no visible screw caps and simple raised chrome lettering continue this theme.

Inside the fittings are metal for an elegant finish; Chrome metal taps, chrome metal furniture handles and brushed chrome spotlights.

Night-time lighting is important so our rooflights have 4 recessed lights each to give an abundance of luminance, the sink and the cooker have individual lighting over each to enable you to see what you're doing when preparing meals.

The alloy wheels on Stealth are all 15" in size helping to keep them in proportion on the side of a large caravan. They are finished in Hi-Power silver as this more costly finish give a superior shine to normal painted wheels.

The basin in the bathroom is a raised clear bowl, whilst creating more space on the adjoining counter it also adds an extra touch of finesse to the washroom.

The seating does without the need for dated kneerolls. Instead using a technique that gives the comfort of a kneeroll with the aesthetic of a domestic sofa.

The microwave is a full 800w, touch-control version to allow total control and full domestic capability. (SE & SE-L models)

The roof is bonded like the walls to prevent the ripple effect that some caravan rooves can display.

The fresh water pipes are all within the caravan (not under the floor) to help protect against cold weather.

We fit a single waste outlet rather than the usual two to make your life easier when draining waste water to your container, no more jamming two pipes into the aperature.

The table store is next to the seats so the table doesn't have to be lifted great distances within the caravan.

By having winding handles on the skylights you can raise, lower these whilst having the flyscreen permanently closed stopping stray insects entering the caravan.

In our 6 Berth, X63 models there are 3 wardrobes creating ample storage space.

The alarm fitted to SE and SE-L models has a radar sensor instead of a PIR enabling it to be placed out of site giving a neater interior finish.

The sofa's are free of buttons so that clothing has nothing to catch on and children don't play with them.

A swing-arm TV bracket is fitted in all trim levels meaning that a TV doesn't take up any valuable surface space.

SE-L Models come fitted with Air Conditioning, Wireless Reversing Sensors, Torino Leather Trim, Twin Awning Lights and TV/DVD as standard.

The main lights in the bedroom are able to be turned off whilst in bed preventing you from having to maneuvure in the dark.
