Micro caravans – Perfect for travelling Australia?

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? Let’s have a look:

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.

Length: 3.2m (just over 10ft)
Tare Weight: 1,080kg (ATM 1,500kg)
Price: $29,990

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

New Age Gecko

I’ve already gone on about this particular caravan, and you can read about why I think it’s the perfect little caravan here.

Length: 3.4m (11ft)
Tare Weight: 1,490kg
Price: $40k-ish

You can check out the different sizes and layouts of the Gecko over on the New Age Caravans website.

Little Gem Caravans – The Weekender

The only one piece moulded fibreglass caravan on the Australian market at the moment.

This ensures they’re well insulated, resilient and robust little campers, that can be pulled by a regular car.

Length: 3.75m
Weight: 1300kg
Price: $55,000

The Weekender also has a slightly bigger sister, appropriately named The Long Weekender. You can see all the details over on the Little Gem Caravans 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: Not sure, but just look at it, you can see it’s small! (I’d say about 12ft)
Tare Weight: 560kg (850kg ATM)
Price: $29,500

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.

Silversun Caravans – Pluto

And here’s another little cutey!

Length: 3.3m (just under 11ft)
Tare Weight: 960kg (1,200kg ATM)
Price: $30,990

Find out more about the Pluto over on the Silversun Caravans 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.

I love the styling of this little caravan (yes, I’m a sucker for a pretty picture… and a well placed mug of steaming coffee and nice decor…)

Length: 4m (a smidge over 13ft)
Weight: 932kg
Price: $40,990

Find out more about the Adria Action over on their website.

Swift Caravans Australia – Basecamp CCV

I’ve left this one till last, because even though I’m loving the look of this tiny caravan, finding information online about this mini is surprisingly difficult.

With a rear facing door, a tent/annex can be attached to the rear of the caravan, greatly increasing it’s space. But even without it, this little caravan fits our criteria of sleeping at least 2 people, an internal shower, toilet and kitchen.

Here’s a couple of pics from their UK website, and you can see their promo video on the Australian Swift website.

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 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.

Has this list of teeny tiny caravans made you think that it might be the best type of caravan for you?
