FAQs
Many families choose the caravan layout that best suits their needs. Some prefer the traditional caravan layout with a sleeping compartment at the front and a living area at the rear, while others prefer a more open layout with all the sleeping and living areas merged into one big space. The modern family van tends to have bunks at one end and a parents bed at the other with living space in between. Whichever layout you choose, make sure it is comfortable for your family and has enough storage space for all your belongings. If you are unsure which layout to choose, speak to our caravan sales team who can advise you on the best option for your family.
There are a few things you should consider when purchasing a caravan for your family. The size of the caravan is important, as you need to make sure it is large enough to accommodate your family comfortably, but not too heavy for the towing capacity of your vehicle once you are loaded with everything. You will also need to take into account the type of terrain you will be travelling on, as some caravans are better suited for off-road conditions than others. Additionally, consider what features and amenities are important to you and your family when choosing a caravan- e.g how many bunks, whether you want an ensuite. Prices can range significantly, so be sure to set a budget before starting your search.
Yes, all of our family caravans have bunk beds. This is because we find that it is a more convenient and comfortable way to set up sleeping arrangements for larger families, however many still offer a dining table to bed conversion as an extra bed option. It allows us to have more privacy since each person has their own bed and it saves space so that we can have a larger living area in the caravan. We find that bunk beds are a great solution for families who travel frequently in caravans.
