ESSENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN CHOOSING A CARAVAN

Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned traveller seeking an upgrade, selecting the right caravan can significantly influence your future holidays. Amidst countless options, we've distilled the list to the absolute must-haves you can't overlook.

SAFETY

Ensuring your safety and comfort during caravan holidays is paramount. If you're new to towing, be prepared for a learning curve. Single axle caravans are generally easier to maneuver compared to those with double axles, but the size of the caravan and your travel companions will influence ease of handling.

TOWING

Your vehicle's towing capacity is crucial. Verify its maximum towing weight to ensure compatibility with your chosen caravan. Remember, the weight will increase once you load your travel essentials.

FUEL EFFICIENCY

Consider the distance, speed, and current fuel prices when planning your trip, as refueling your towing vehicle can become expensive. A heavier caravan, while offering more space, can significantly impact your holiday budget compared to a lighter model.

SPACE AND COMFORT

Larger caravans provide more room and comfort, making them ideal for family trips. Models with bunk-layouts are particularly convenient, eliminating the need for additional sleeping arrangements.

OFF-ROAD CAPABILITY

When it comes to exploring off-the-beaten-path bush camps or national parks, preferences vary between those seeking adventure and those favoring the comforts of a caravan park. For adventurers, choosing a caravan capable of reaching remote locations and equipped with essential features is crucial. This includes:

  • Specialized off-road chassis

  • 4WD tyres

  • Fresh water storage

  • Grey and black water storage

  • Solar power capabilities

  • Diesel generator

If you're considering taking your caravan off-road, it's essential to consult with our dealership team before making your final decision.

SETUP & PACKING UP

Different caravan models offer varying levels of ease when setting up and packing up. Once you've arrived and unhitched your caravan, you can freely explore in your unburdened tow vehicle.

No one wants to spend hours unhitching their caravan and setting up camp. Fortunately, modern caravans are designed to simplify this process.
