Are Compact Caravans More Budget Friendly?

In the United Kingdom, it is rare to glimpse the extra long motorhomes that U.S. drivers are used to to coming across on the highways. The English country lanes and tight city streets would make it awkward to move these juggernauts about and dread to contemplate how much the motorhome insurance quote could be! And consider, if your tastes run to the smaller caravans that are much less problematic to tow and drive around the Europe and the UK, your options is not limited. Dependent on your finances, they can be from a few thousand quid to twenty thousand pounds!

In the UK the universal style of touring caravan is the ‘white box’. According to the towing capabilities of your auto, these are viable ‘vans, suiting the smaller sites and pitches at British caravan parks. They don’t have the lengthier frames of campervans and so with a standard 4×4 or saloon car you clearly fall within the legal conditions for towing on British roads. Though, very few people would call them stylish or design classics.

The compact ‘teardrop’ design touring caravans are growing in popularity. These baby caravans are prefect for a smaller model auto to tow and although they would not be suitable for a family they are great for a couple to take off on the open road and for novices, they are an easy initiation into the caravanning.

These teardrop campervans are roughly 4’ high and wide, roughly 8 feet long, they have a bed big enough for 2, and the kitchen section is under the back hatch. There are also pod style, micro shell and 2 berth mini forms of the regular white box touring caravans. Whatsoever you choose they all have the following benefits in common:

• Cheaper price, in the main they are sold for less than £10K.
• Lighter weight, this makes them much more fuel efficient to tow.
• Compact, less mess can be accumulated and the storage spaces are cleverly designed to get the most of the smaller space.
• Smaller body length and height means that you can store them in a standard garage and can easily fit within a drive.

Ultimately, there is the folding touring caravan. First designed in 1970 in the United Kingdom, these touring caravans are about 50% of the normal height when folded down, but when you are at your destination, all you do is unclip and push up the roof to its normal height and then push up the side panels. There you are, your caravan is ready for occupation and because when folded down it is half the height of a standard touring caravan the drag is less, so it is more efficient to tow. Gets rid of the risk of being dragged across a highway in high winds!
