Any model up to and including 540 that has the suffix WLU, such as Prestige 540WLU.

WLU indicates twin beds, WFU double bed.

I don't believe a WFU is made that is legally towable by the vehicles you mention as it seems that the smallest end washroom with a double bed is the 650WFU.

Gas/electric boiler is an option, standard is a Truma Therme electric boiler.

Truma gas space heating is standard but Ultraheat can be added to make it dual fuel.

Thanks for that roy it looks like i,m going to have to do some more
investigating but your advice has pointed me in the right direction. Rthe Regardinglegallity of the tow vehicle i suppose it depends who
you talk to but the fact is the law is there to be enforced.

My Amazon weighs in at 3360Kgs but as the law states it must be 3501Kgs or more I didnt risk buying the 560WLU that I really wanted.
A really stupid law when you consider we are talking about 230cms wide versus 250cms wide. Nothing to do with caravan weight!

This is the reason that you cannot have a double bed with an end washroom as there would be no access past the bed.
