Are you looking to purchase your first caravan? Maybe you are an experienced traveller who is looking to upgrade. No matter what your situation, the right decision can make a big difference in the quality of your next holiday. We’ve narrowed down the options to only the essentials that you can’t live without.
- Safety
It is important that you feel comfortable and safe while on holiday in your caravan. It can take some time to get used to towing a van. Single axle vans are easier to manoeuvre than double-axle ones. However, the van’s size and how many people are travelling with it will also play a major role.
- Towing
It is important to consider the vehicle’s towing capacity. You should check the towing capacity of your vehicle and determine if the caravan that you are interested in is appropriate. Remember that if you add all your travel accessories, it will increase the overall weight.
- Fuel Consumption
It all depends on how far you want to travel and the fuel costs (which are not likely to drop soon), so filling up your vehicle with gas can be a difficult task. When choosing a caravan, this should be taken into consideration. Although a larger van is more spacious than a lighter one, it will consume more holiday funds.
- Comfort
Larger caravans offer more space and comfort. A bunk-layout model is best for families who are travelling together. This means that the children won’t need to pitch a tent outdoors. There are vans to suit every lifestyle. Our TopGun 15 Caravan can accommodate your bikes!
Off-Road Capability
While some people love to travel the wilderness and national parks, others prefer the convenience of a caravan park. If you fall into the first category, you should choose a van capable of reaching remote areas and equipped with all you need. This includes:
- Specialised off-road chassis
- 4WD tyres
- Storage of fresh water
- Storage of grey and black water
- The solar power capabilities
- Diesel generator

Setup and Pack up
Different models offer different levels and mobility. A caravan can be unhitched once it’s been unloaded. Then you can drive your vehicle around unburdened.
We all know that it is not fun to spend hours unhitching a caravan and setting up a campsite. Modern vans are easier to unhitch and stabilize. You can try it in our showrooms if you aren’t sure.
Budget
Before you go to our showroom, make sure you have a budget in mind. Apache Caravans are the best options if you want luxury. You can also choose from a great selection of pre-loved caravans to fit your budget.
It isn’t unusual to feel overwhelmed when looking for a new caravan , especially when starting the search online. Nothing beats heading one of our dealerships, talking with our experienced team and taking a walk through each caravan of interest.
