THE humble caravan holiday is set for a makeover thanks to a new mobile home with movable walls.

The Concept van, currently on display at Hoburne Naish in New Milton, can accommodate nine people despite being only 30ft x 13ft.

The van uses the same area for different functions at different times and has hidden, foldaway beds.

During the day, the movable bedroom wall is pushed back, freeing up an extra 60sq ft of room to create an impressive open-plan living space that has room for a 10-seater dining table.

At night, the wall comes out and with it a foldaway bed to form a comfortable double bedroom.

Behind that are two concealed, single bunk beds that fold down.

With fixed triple bunk beds on one end of the caravan and a sofa in the lounge doubling as a bed, what should be a six berth mobile home becomes one for nine people.

The only permanent room that doesn't change in size is the bathroom and toilet.

The prototype has been designed by holiday home makers ABI and is tipped to be the future of “staycation” holidays.

Director Richard Jones said: "In a normal caravan a bedroom is a bedroom 24 hours a day but if you close the bedroom up when it is not being used you can use that space for a different purpose.

"We have come up with a genius van that has space for nine holiday makers to sleep, dine, relax or entertain themselves.”

Clever features also include a cinema screen which drops down from the ceiling and kitchen worktops hidden in drawers.
