Sterckeman Starlett. Light in weight and fairly basic, these French tourers offer good value-for-money. Their light weight makes them easy to tow with a small to medium size car and this, combined with the low price, makes them a viable alternative to buying second-hand for first-time buyers.

There’s a small sink, three-burner hob and a fridge, but no oven and not much food preparation room. The washroom has a cassette toilet and tip-up sink, but a shower is only available as an optional extra.

There are 240 volt mains electrics and a transformer charger, but a 12 volt battery and battery box are optional extras. There’s a gas room heater, but blown air heating and even a hot water system are optional extras.

Inside, there’s a sumptuous lounge area, fully-equipped kitchen including a microwave and granite-look GRP sink. There’s a radio/CD/MP3 player, five mains electric sockets, a fully-lined shower, a PIR and tilt-sensor alarm system and, on twin axle models, there’s even a 40 litre underfloor insulated fresh water tank.
