Everything You Need to Know When Buying a Go Pod

If you are a camping enthusiast or just looking to spend more time outdoors, you want to make sure to feel safe and comfortable during your touring adventures. The Go-Pod micro tourer caravan allows you to get this experience without having to buy a secondary vehicle. Read on to find out what you need to look for when looking through affordable Go Pods for sale on eBay and checking out Go Pod prices.

The different types of Go Pods for sale on eBay

If you are planning to go camping with a full-sized travel trailer, then you will need a truck to pull it, but a Go Pod can be towed by a small car because of its contemporary design. This design consists of a one-piece shell that weighs 750kg. The different types of Go Pods available on eBay are:

  • Standard
  • Plus
  • Platinum

A Standard Go Pod for sale is easy to tow with a design that prevents anti-snake and anti-wobble when on the road. It comes with a seating area that converts into a king-size bed, a toilet, a sink, a fridge, and a cooker.

The Plus Go Pods have the same things as the standard models, but with a few extra features. These features may include a solar panel, TV/DVD with aerial and booster, dual fuel blown air heating, and a Khyam awning. It helps to decide what you will need for your camping trip.

Is there a specific tow bar to use with the Go Pod?

A Go Pod caravan comes with a 13-pin trailer plug. This plug powers the fridge, charges the caravan’s on-board battery and controls the towing lights. For the Go Pod 2018 trailer, you will need a 13-pin Euro socket electrics and a standard 50mm diameter tow ball. These devices will work with the 13-pin trailer plug. If you find a used Go Pod that has dual electrics, then you can still get this vehicle. However, you will have to purchase an adaptor to convert the leads to use it with the 13-pin plug.

Should you get extended mirrors?

Towing mirrors are a requirement by law, but should you be driving overseas, check the laws in each country you will be visiting. The driver must have the ability to see the entire length of the trailer and the traffic behind it. When purchasing your Go Pod, you need to check if it comes with towing mirrors. If not, you can individually purchase the mirrors.

Most caravans come with existing mirrors, which gives you a good view along the side of the vehicle. You will need to make sure the mirrors meet the requirements of the law. It helps to understand the laws in your area before purchasing a Go Pod caravan.
