Micro caravans – Perfect for travelling Australia? (2026 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.

Since this post is all about tiny caravans Australia, I’m only looking at those small caravans that are 3.96m (13ft) or shorter and under 1,800 kgs TARE. So they’re small and light.

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

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!

Avan – Sportliner

We’re kicking things off with the smallest and lightest on the list — the Avan Sportliner. 

It’s only 4 metres long and weighs just over 700 kilos tare. You’ll need to pop the roof up when you arrive to give it that classic A-frame profile, but setup is super quick. 

Inside, it’s compact and simple — perfect for solo travellers or couples who just want a dry, comfy place to sleep. 

There’s no bathroom, but that’s the trade-off for such an incredibly small and easy-to-tow caravan.

Travel Length: 4m
Body Length: 2.68m
Tare Weight: 715kg
ATM: 1,015kg

Carpento – 310S

The Carpento 310S is an import from Turkey. 

Its rounded design and huge panoramic front window give it a really distinctive European look.  And at under three metres body length and only 720 kilos tare, it’s light enough for most small SUVs. 

The interior feels bright and airy thanks to those windows, and the fit-out is surprisingly modern for such a tiny van. It’s definitely one for those who value style and design just as much as light weight.

Travel Length: 4.43m
Body Length: 2.95m
Travel Height: 2.41m
Tare: 720kg
ATM: 1,000kg
Price from: $49,990

Century 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.

Travel Length: 4.67m
Body Length: 3.35m
Travel Height: 2.6m
Tare: 1,080kg
ATM: 1,500kg
Price from: $29,500

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.

Travel Length: 4m
Travel Height: 2.28m
Tare: 640kg
ATM: 900kg
Price from: $38,900

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.

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: 3.048m
Tare Weight: 956kg
ATM: 1,500kg
Price: $31,990

Fantasy Caravan – Nano 10

The Fantasy Nano 10 is another micro caravan that is a tiny 10ft body length, but still manages to fit a full ensuite, small kitchenette and plenty of storage.

The ATM is 1,600 kilos, so it’s not the lightest, but it’s designed for people who want compact comfort and the capacity to load up with all the things they need. 

With pricing from around $40 grand, it’s a solid little adventure van.

Travel Length: 4.75m
Body Length: 3.04m
Travel Height: 2.8m
Tare: 1,247kg
ATM: 1,600kg
Price from: $39,990

Goldy Caravans – Goldy Getaway

If you’re into retro styling, the Goldy Getaway will definitely catch your eye. 

It looks like something straight out of the 1960s, but it’s all brand-new and made on the Gold Coast. 

It’s just 3.6 metres long and only 850 kilos tare, so almost anything can tow it. You can option it with or without an internal ensuite, and inside you’ll find a bright, vintage-inspired interior that feels cheerful and fun. It’s all about light, easy touring — with plenty of character.

Travel Length: 5m
Body Length: 3.65m
Travel Height: 2.7m
Tare: 850kg

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.

At 3.9 metres body length, it’s one of the roomier micro caravans here — and it shows, with a full bathroom (where the toilet and shower are separate), a kitchen, dinette and a east/west bed on a pop-out section. 

The tare is around 1,350 kilos, so it’s still light, but you get that solid, full-caravan feel. For anyone who wants small size without giving up amenities, this one’s a great balance.

Travel Length: 5.67m
Body Length: 3.9m
Travel Height: 2.65m
Tare: 1,350kg
ATM: 1,700kg

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

Mobi Nomad – Mobi XL

The Mobi Nomad XL might look compact from the outside, but wait till you see what it does. 

The whole rear slides out to create a surprising amount of interior space — it’s like a transformer caravan! 

There’s heaps of storage and a clean, minimalist design that makes smart use of every inch. 

It doesn’t have an internal ensuite, but it’s incredibly versatile, with modular options for kitchens, beds, and outdoor living setups.

Body Length: 3.7m
Travel Height: 1.9m
Tare: 760kg
GVM: 1,750kg
Price from: $59,000

North Coast Offroad RVs – X.9

This one blurs the line between camper trailer and caravan — but I’ve included it because it does have hard-sided walls and is tall enough to stand in. 

The X.9 has a body length of just 2.7 metres, a tare of 850 kilos, and still manages to feel quite solid. 

It opens up to create a surprisingly liveable space, with options for a small kitchenette and dinette. 

There’s no ensuite, but it’s clearly built for those who want off-road capability in the tiniest possible footprint.

Travel Length: 4.015m
Body Length: 2.745m
Travel Height: 1.85m
Tare: 850kg
GVM: 1,600kg
Price from: $55,000

Silversun Caravans – Pluto

I was amazed to find that even with a small footprint, this caravan still manages to have a shower that is seperate from the toilet. An amazing feat for a caravan so small IMO.

Travel Length: 5.1m
Body Length: 3m
Travel Height: 2.625m
Tare: 1,000kg
ATM: 1,600kg
Price from: $44,990

TrackStar Campers – Starliner

The Starliner pushes the limits of what we’d call a “micro” caravan, but at just 1,200 kilos tare, it’s light enough to make the cut. So I’ve decided to include it.

It’s got a longer body and a more traditional caravan feel, but it’s still easy to tow and set up. 

Inside, there’s space for a small dinette at one end, a, kitchenette and bathroom in the middle, and a permanent bed at the other end — everything you need without excess. It’s a good option for anyone who wants to stay light but still have that full-caravan experience.

Travel Length: 6.25m
Travel Height: 2.27m
Tare: 1,200kg
ATM: 1,500kg

It’s still quite new on their website, but you can check out more details here: trackstarcampers.com.au

X Series RV – Element

And finally, the X Series RV Element. 

There’s not much information available about this one yet, but it looks identical to both the Century Trailers Venus 11 & the EzyTrail Winton 10 — which probably means they’re all  built on the same body. 

It’s compact, lightweight, and designed as an affordable entry point into caravanning. 

With an ATM of just 1,500 kilos and a price around $37,000, it’s a budget-friendly micro caravan that looks neat and modern.

ATM: 1,500kg
Price from: $36,990

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?

See below, ‘cos we got you covered!
