A floor plan is not a picture of a caravan. It is a drawing of how you will live in one, and most first-year compromises are visible if you know where to look.
Every Network RV plan puts the A-frame at the left, rear at the right and entry-door side along the bottom. We never mirror or rotate it, so plans compare directly.
Across brands, find the A-frame first. The plan is a bird's-eye view with the roof off, so overhead cupboards, air conditioner and hatches do not appear.
Plumbing, gas and structure make the main bed, kitchen bench, bathroom and door effectively immovable. Everything else follows them.
Where is the main bed? Front island, east-west or rear.
Where is the kitchen bench? Can someone pass while you cook?
Where is the bathroom? Full-width rear, mid-van or split.
Where is the door? Rear entry reaches the bathroom end; mid-entry reaches living space.
Caravan bunk layouts, explained takes the bunk terms further.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Island bed | A bed you can walk around on three sides |
| East-west bed | A sideways bed that trades easy exit for a shorter body |
| Café dinette | Facing bench seats with a table, usually convertible |
| Club lounge | An L- or U-shaped rear lounge replacing bunks |
| Rear door | Entry at the back rather than the middle |
| Wide bunk | A wider bunk module, not a wider van |
| Flat floor | No raised step over the A-frame |
| Tunnel boot | Front storage accessible from both sides |
| Split ensuite | Toilet and basin separate from shower |
The marketing length is the feet-and-inches in the name, chassis length is the steel underneath, and internal length is the living space. Their relationship is not constant.
Two 19'6 vans can differ by 385mm inside, a bunk module's worth, despite carrying the same badge number.
| Plan | Internal length |
|---|---|
| 19'6 Rear Door Pantry | 5,650mm |
| 19'6 Wide Bunk | 6,035mm |
| 20'6 Wide Bunk | 6,335mm |
| 21' Family Bunk | 6,400mm |
| 23' Wide Bunk | 7,010mm |
Internal width is 2,265mm on every Network RV plan in both ranges. It decides whether you can pass the bed with a wardrobe open and whether two people can pass in the kitchen.
A floor plan is a rehearsal. Do these six things on paper before visiting a yard.
Make the bed. Can you reach the far corner?
Open the fridge with someone at the sink.
Get to the bathroom at 2am without walking past bunks.
Place wet boots, chairs and bikes.
Sit four people down with dinner on the table.
Open the door with the awning and mat down.
Weight. The compliance plate is the authority and a weighbridge measures the loaded combination.
How it tows. Axles, suspension and mass distribution do not appear. See what changes when a caravan is built for dirt.
Whether you like it. Build the shortlist on paper, then walk it.
Compare every plan on the plans page, or start from on-road or off-road.
| Range | Plan | Main bed | Rear of van |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-road | 20'6 Wide Bunk | Front island | Double bunk, bathroom opposite |
| On-road | 21' Family Bunk | Front island | Double bunk, rear bathroom |
| On-road | 21'6 Rear Club | Front island | Club lounge |
| On-road | 23' Wide Bunk | Front island | Four bunks |
| Off-road | 17'6 Rear Door | Front island | Full-width bathroom |
| Off-road | 19'6 Rear Door Pantry | Front island | Rear bathroom and pantry |
| Off-road | 19'6 Wide Bunk | East-west | Double bunk |
No. The name is a marketing length in feet; internal length is measured in millimetres and varies.
A sideways main bed. One person climbs over the other, while the body gains room for bunks.
There is no standard, so measure the plan. Every Network RV plan is 2,265mm wide internally.
Overhead cupboards, air conditioner, hatches and every weight figure.
An L- or U-shaped lounge, usually at the rear, replacing bunks with seating.
What can move varies by plan. Ask a dealer before assuming anything is adjustable.
Seven launch plans are drawn to the same orientation so you can compare them properly.
