Fifth Wheel Company Inos
I am looking to buy one of the new Ins caravans where the side slides out. I like the idea of plenty of space and can be towed easily with a Disco 3.
Has anyone got one of these? I am looking at the Inos 2 with the larger slide out area to buy maybe next year.

I went to the NEw show aswell just to look at the new Inos. I have emailed several times and posted on their facebook page for more info, more pics etc but their communication is rubbish.
I currently have a Compass Rallye 636 but no seen anything else as good a layout for our needs.
There were some nice vans at the show though, didn't really look at the Hobbys.Also a member of avforums.com

We looked at the brochure, there isn't a family friendly layout as the kids would sleep in the lounge which leaves you with nowhere to socialise. Great idea, but like many of the upper end vans, they are made for 2 adults not families DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Check out this month's Caravan Club magazine and keep your eyes open for the new 'slide out' arrivals due in the New Year.

The new one is a much better layout for families with a large dining/seating area at the front and the bed is turned in its side then you can have 2 or 3 bunks where the dresser is on the Inos 2 leaving a full width bathroom at the end. I will upload plans when I get home. A couple of pics below.

A low volume producer but with interesting ideas and developments. Their construction techniques are, in my opinion, far in advance of the rest of the British manufacturers. Don't think you will get any rotten wood from water ingress in this model as is common in other makes. No bolts to re-torque as in others.
Layouts of caravans will never please all.

like others, we looked at these at the NEC lat year, but given it size, and the pull out, I wasnt impressed at all by the use of internal space or the layout - sorry INOS, you went for style (of sorts) over substance.

One of my dads caravanning friends upgraded to a 5thWheel last year, along with having to downgrade his car to a Ford Ranger to tow it
There is just the two of them, but they have to be careful on which site to use as there are quite large, but they often spend a few months abroad with it touring so the extra space is a bonus
