RUNNING THE
MARATHON
THE 21FT FAMILY MARATHON BY OLYMPIC CARAVANS IS A RELATIVELY
LIGHT VAN THAT CAN BE TOWED BY A MID-RANGE 4WD EVEN WHEN
LOADED UP FOR A TRIP WITH THE WHOLE TRIBE.
The Olympic Marathon is available in a range of sizes
and layouts. The layout of our review 21ft Family
Marathon is, we’re told, proving quite popular.
The layout is comprised of a forward north-
south bed, an offside kitchen, nearside L-shaped
dinette, and a rear kids’ bedroom. This bedroom,
for our money, is the highlight of this caravan. It
has three bunks (two bunks can be fitted instead)

on the offside, a bathroom door on the nearside,
and a rather large cupboard in between, against
the van’s rear wall, with a front-loader washing
machine underneath.
Each bunk comes with its own 12V powerpoint
(incorporating a USB point, too), reading light and
240V point. The bathroom door hides a cassette
toilet, a vanity unit, and a separate shower.
