best caravan for single person Page 7

If you’re flying solo, the “best” caravan is the one that doesn’t boss you around at the servo. Look for a lightweight single-axle rig or a compact pop-top/teardrop you can tow with a modest SUV, ideally keeping ATM sensible so you’re not dragging a small suburb behind you. A small ensuite is nice-to-have, but a clever kitchenette, decent insulation, and a comfy bed matter more than a shower you’ll use twice. Aim for ATM within your vehicle’s braked towing limit, ball weight around 8–12% of ATM, and payload headroom of at least 200 kg for water and gear. Used buyers: check for water ingress, soft floors, and tyre age; a weighbridge ticket is worth its weight in flat whites.
