Browse caravans and camping trailers by category.
Match the caravan's permissible total weight (MTPLM) to your car's towing limit and your driving licence: a category B licence covers car-and-trailer combinations up to 3.5 t, B96 or B+E allow more. Single-axle caravans are lighter and easier to manoeuvre, twin-axle ones tow more stably at higher weights. Before buying, check for damp, the age of the running gear and the condition of the drawbar and brakes.
Prices vary widely with size, age and equipment, so no single figure is honest. The band above shows the current median asking price computed from active CamperTrader listings, and the full price report breaks values down by segment and year of manufacture. Caravans are generally the cheapest entry into camping tourism — clearly below campers of a similar age.
Renting makes sense for a first trip or an occasional holiday — you avoid storage and maintenance between seasons. Buying pays off when you camp several times a year or leave the caravan on a seasonal pitch. Remember to include parking, insurance and servicing in the total cost of ownership.
