Micro caravans – Perfect for travelling Australia? (2025 update)

Are you fascinated with micro caravans Australia too? Or is it just me?!

On this blog I’ve made no secret of my love for small RVs. Whether it’s small pop-tops, small fifth wheels, small caravans, small campervans, or even small teardrop campers.

But today, I’m going as small as you can possibly go, and taking a look at micro caravans available here in Australia.

In this search, I will still maintain MY criteria for an RV, that it:

• be able to sleep at least 2 people,
• have a toilet and shower inside (wet bath is fine), and
• an internal kitchen.

Since this post is all about tiny caravans Australia, I’m only looking at those small caravans that are 3.96m (13ft) or shorter. Most of these are caravans under 1200 kgs, with a couple of caravans under 1000kg. So they’re small and light.

Are there any mini caravans out there in Australia that will fulfil that criteria?

If you’re serious about finding a small caravan but need some help narrowing down your choices, we’ve put together a spreadsheet of all the caravans you can buy new in Australia, so you can filter and sort to find the perfect small caravan for you.

Micro Caravans | Australia

A few caveats before we really get into things…

When I’ve been able to find them, I’ve noted the length, weight (tare and ATM) and price of each of these compact caravans.

Take these with a big grain of salt and do your own due diligence.

• Everybody measures their caravans differently (from tow ball to rear bumper / exterior body length / interior length) so just be aware of that.
• Same goes with weight, except sometimes a manufacturer will just say ‘weight’ and not specify whether it’s tare, ATM or what!
• Prices will vary greatly, some prices include all the ‘extras’, while some are just for the very basic model.

Enough of the caveats, on to the list!

Ezytrail – Winton 10

I’m sure that Ezytrail are better known for their camper trailers, but I think they’ve really hit it out of the park with this little caravan.

The lounge converts to a double bed, giving you that versatility of being able to lounge inside the van when the weather prevents you from being outside.

Total Length: 4.6m
Body Length: 3.2m (just over 10ft)
Tare Weight: 956kg
ATM: 1,500kg
Price: $31,990

Find out more details on the Winton 10 on the Ezytrail website.

The Little Caravan Company obviously have it down pat! The X-Scape comes in either full height or pop top versions with a combined shower & toilet onboard and both inside and outside kitchens.

Overall Length: 6.73m
Body Length: 3.65m (12ft)
Tare Weight: 2120kg
ATM: 2,800kg

Golf – Maxxi 390 PT

The fold out bedroom area of the Golf Maxxi really expands the internal space while still keeping your towing size down to a minimum.

Length: 3.9m
Tare Weight: 1,300kg

Find out more about the Maxxi range over on the Golf website.

Century Camper Trailers – Venus11

Century Trailers specialise in trailers, but they’ve got a small range of caravans that they also produce. The Venus11 is the smallest option and even though it’s just 11ft long, it fits in everything you need.

Royal Flair Caravans – Raptor

And here’s something a little different.

The Raptor’s are actually a toy hauler, but the toy hauler section is a fold up tray; so you can have a small caravan while still having the option of a longer toy hauler whenever you need it.

Overall Length: 8.045m
Body Length: 4.115m

Boss Adventure – XA11+

You’ll find that quite a few of the hybrid caravans will fit into this ‘micro’ category, like this XA11+ by Boss Adventure.

I love the hybrids because they have all the features of the bigger caravans, but in a small package. You do need to be careful though… as they’re built to be off-road, you’ll find that they can still be quite heavy.

Overall Length: 5.3m
Body Length: 3.85m
Tare Weight: 1,850kg
ATM: 2,750kg
Price from: $55,990

You can find all the details about the XA11+ on the Boss Adventure website.

More European Caravans in Australia

Euro Caravans – Glider

How about this little beauty! Everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

I’ve been one of these, and there’s no doubt it’s small. I saw someone describe it as perfect for one, cozy for two.

Length: 4m
Tare Weight: 640kg
ATM: 900kg
Price: $38,990

Euro Caravans also have another micro caravan in their range called the Hobby. You can see both of them over on the Euro Caravans Australia website.

Adria – Action

At 4m (a smidge over 13ft) I think the Action caravan from Adria Mobil will still fit into many peoples wish lists, as it does mine! So I’ve opted to include it in the lineup.

Total Length: 5.194m
Body Length: 4.01m (a smidge over 13ft)
Tare Weight: 1,000kg
ATM: 1,400kg

It’s not a massive list of tiny caravans to choose from, and it’s clear that the Europeans love their mini RVs (and we love importing them), so we’re left with just a couple of questions still to be answered:

What is the smallest caravan you can buy?

The smallest caravan in Australia (with an internal toilet, shower and kitchen) is the Winton 10 by Ezytrail campers (the first one on this list, actually). At just 10ft, it sure does pack a lot into its diminutive dimensions.

What is the best small caravan?

The one that’s sitting behind your car! There is no ‘best’, except for the ‘best-one-for-you’. So use this list as a guide to find the best small caravan for you!

What are the lightest caravans?

The lightest caravan we’ve found here in Australia (that includes the requisite internal kitchen, toilet and shower) is the Glider by Euro Caravans.

As light as possible…?

One of the great appeals of a micro caravan (to me) is that a small/light caravan can be towed by many more vehicles than a large, heavy caravan can. 

But this does not mean that ANY car can be used. 

As we see more and more accidents involving caravans on our roads, it must be said again, that you MUST have a car and caravan combo that is safe and, obviously, within the legal limits. 

My preference is that I’m well within the legal limits. Hence the fascination with small and light caravans.

All that to say, you must do your due diligence. Don’t buy a micro caravan just cos you think your Nissan Micra could tow it. :-O

So how do you find all these small/micro caravans?
