TO paraphrase Loyd Grossman, where would you find a luxury drawing room like this? A stately home? A penthouse?

Believe it or not, it's a caravan - but not just any caravan.

This is Poole's BK Bluebird top-of-the-fleet Senator caravan holiday home.

And, no surprise, it has been popular - BK Bluebird has just rolled out its 1,000th Senator.

The firm launched its Senator back in 2001 and sells around 350 each year, predominantly via UK holiday parks.

Managing director Nigel Heslington said: "Credit goes to our Poole staff for the product's high quality. Our designers came up with the concept and the production team have constructed it superbly - the high level of sales confirms how good it is."

BK Bluebird builds six ranges of caravan holiday home at varying specifications and sizes, selling 3,000 each year. A caravan rolls off its Mannings Heath Road production line every 45 minutes.

When Senator was launched it was the first caravan to provide a separate kitchen/dining room and in 2002 it won two industry accolades - Caravan Holiday Home of the Year and Holiday Home Constructors Award.

Special features include French windows in the lounge, a five-hob burner and triple oven, ensuite bathroom from the main bedroom, double glazing and gas central heating - recommended retail price £31,450.
