New Elddis Crusader Borealis 2026 touring caravan

Additional details

The 2026 Elddis Crusader range is the flagship line of touring caravans from Elddis, offering a high-end blend of luxury, comfort, and practicality. Prices start from around £30,900, and the Crusader stands out with its balance of modern design, premium specification, and dependable build quality.

Externally, the 2026 Crusaders have been upgraded with full GRP “Sunsation” high-gloss side panels designed to resist UV fading, flush-fit tinted front windows, chrome grab handles, refined graphics, and redesigned rear light clusters. Each model comes with practical outdoor features such as a fitted BBQ point and an external 230v socket, making it easier to enjoy cooking and living outdoors.

Inside, the caravans feature handcrafted cabinetry, soft-closing lockers, and dove-tailed drawers, with granite-effect contrasting worktops giving the interiors a premium feel. Lighting is fully LED throughout, with thoughtful placement to create both ambience and practicality.

Comfort is a key focus. The Crusader range comes with the Alde 24-hour central and water heating system, which can run on gas, electricity, or both. It uses touchscreen controls and includes a night-time display setting for ease of use. With Grade III thermal insulation, these caravans are suitable for year-round touring. Large double-glazed side windows with blinds, flyscreens, and night-vent settings help regulate light and airflow, while the “Heki Lux Stargazer” rooflight, fitted with an integrated blind, flyscreen, and downlights, floods the living areas with natural light.

Sleeping arrangements feature supportive fixed mattresses in most models, with some offering retractable beds that create additional daytime space. Upholstery uses Argentum⁺ anti-bacterial and anti-allergy fibres, making the interiors not only stylish but also practical for everyday use.

Safety and durability are also strong points of the 2026 Crusader. Each caravan sits on an AL-KO chassis with stabiliser and heavy-duty corner steadies. A fully bonded roof, GRP under-skin for protection, and a robust construction process enhance long-term reliability. Security features such as wheel locks, hitch-head stabilisers, alarms, and tracker systems (in some models to Thatcham Cat 7 standard) provide extra peace of mind.

As standard, every Crusader is fitted with a solar panel and WiFi connectivity, ensuring power and internet access wherever you travel. Each caravan also comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and a 10-year water ingress warranty, reflecting Elddis’s confidence in build quality and long-term durability.
