Types of touring caravans

Caravans are towable campers that come in a variety of sizes. They can be gooseneck trailers that hook over the lid of a truck or smaller models that are pulled from a hitch on the towing vehicle. Some of these caravans feature a single axle, and some are twin-axle caravans. These are the main types of touring caravans that can be found new or used on eBay:

  • Conventional caravans - These are the majority of caravans you see in use. They are large, and the largest caravans will have twin axles to handle the additional weight. These caravans will usually have multiple sleeping areas, a separate bathroom, a separate kitchen, and plenty of storage space.
  • Teardrop trailers - These caravans are micro caravans, which are very small campers that can be towed by small cars. These caravans usually have a double bed that covers the whole floor. Some may have a cooking range, storage areas, and a toilet.
  • Pop-top caravans - These are small caravans that have a roof that can be lifted higher to give you standing room inside the caravan.
  • GRP caravans - These are micro fibreglass caravans that are made with a single hard shell for the body. They are available in a variety of features, with some of the higher-end models possessing heated air, bathrooms with showers, and hot and cold water.
  • Folding caravans - These are small caravans that can be folded and expanded. They have a hard lower body and a tented upper body that is expanded on setup.
  • Fifth wheel - A fifth wheel is a gooseneck towable trailer that comes in many sizes. It is called a fifth wheel because of the way it attaches over the lid of a truck when being towed. A fifth wheel can have a single axle or a double axle.
What is the difference between a caravan and a motorhome?

A caravan is a towable trailer that is not motorised. It cannot move under its own power but must be towed. A motorhome is a motorised vehicle used for travelling and camping, and it is driven on the road as one unit. Many affordable selections of caravans are available on eBay.

What is the difference between single-axle and double-axle caravans for sale?

A single-axle caravan or trailer has one axle with a wheel on each end. It is a towable vehicle that can be pulled by other vehicles. A twin axle caravan has two axles, each of which has a wheel on each end. These twin axles are placed close together under the vehicle. Single-axle caravans weigh less and are more economical to tow. They are also easier to manoeuvre. Double-axle caravans are heavier and cost more in fuel to tow, but they are more stable and can carry heavier loads inside.
