Family Caravans in Australia
A practical guide to choosing the right family caravan, including layouts, features, and current options available across Australia.
Looking for a family caravan in Australia? Whether you’re planning weekend getaways or extended road trips, choosing the right caravan for your family can make all the difference. From bunk bed layouts to off-grid capability, there are a number of factors to consider before making a decision.
This guide covers what to look for in a family caravan, along with examples of currently available vans to help you compare options.
What Is a Family Caravan?
A family caravan is designed to comfortably accommodate multiple travellers, typically featuring 4 to 6 berths, bunk beds, and practical living spaces. These caravans prioritise functionality, storage, and flexibility to suit travelling with children.
Common features include:
Bunk bed configurations
Larger dining and living areas
Increased storage capacity
Ensuite bathrooms
Options for off-grid travel
Key Features to Look For
Sleeping Capacity
Look for layouts with fixed bunks or convertible sleeping areas.
Layout & Space
A well-designed layout makes daily living much easier when travelling as a family.
Storage
More people means more gear — internal and external storage is key.
Kitchen & Living
Functional kitchens and comfortable seating areas improve the experience on longer trips.
Bathroom Facilities
Ensuites are highly valuable when travelling with kids.
Off-Grid Capability
If you plan to travel beyond caravan parks, features like solar and water storage are important.

I would recommend FindMyVan to anyone wishing to sell their van, it was so much easier than working through a caravan dealer or selling privately.

We found Vicky very easy to deal with even though we weren’t herclient her help was invaluable to get us through the process.

Stu, South Australia
Hello, I found Vicky and Find My Van after a great recommendation from a friend of mine. Vicky found my fantastic van only 2 hours away from where I live. I would highly recommend Vicky and Find My Van if you are in the market for a caravan. Vicky is now selling a caravan for a family member right now.

Paul J, South Australia
Vicky did a wonderful job of selling our caravan quickly and efficiently, We would definitely recommend her service. The whole team was very professional

Andrew G, South Australia
I found Vicky extremely helpful throughout the process of purchasing our caravan. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her and she responded quickly to our questions. A very positive experience. Great to work with a professional who knows her business and the various complexities around selling and purchasing.

We recently sold our van through Find my van. Vicky was very professional and reliable. She took all of the hassle out of advertising and setting up genuine viewings of our van. She filtered out the time wasters for us. It didn’t take long at all to sell. In the end we met the buyers of our van and we were pleased it went to a lovely couple, who we hope will enjoy it as much as we did. We would highly recommend either buying or selling a preloved van through Find my van.

Shane, South Australia
I recently used the services of Find My Van who were very well represented by Vicky. Vicky arranged the sale of my dads caravan, obtaining a price we were all happy with. Vicky was professional, responded promptly to messages and easily negotiated issues with our own unavailability and any last minute requests for viewing arrangements by interested parties. All in all, Vicky and Find My Van took all the hard work out of our hands and provided the service that we were hoping for. Would definitely use and recommend Find My Van (and Vicky) again

Felicity B, Western Australia
Vicky was great to deal with, made it easy for, as we are remote and couldn’t easily source van’s, would highly recommend

Jenny P
Vicky and her team were able to answer all my questions about the vans there on the day, understood my needs and I was impressed with the variation – something for every budget.

Vicky is well organised and well connected, her company sold my van and tow vehicle within a few weeks, great to work with highly recommended.

Alicia, South Australia
Working with Find My Van was the best decision we made! We had been on the hunt for our dream van for months but it was way too hard trying to set up viewings as we live so far away from everything. Vicky did all the work for us and set up video calls so she could walk us through it.We found our new home on wheels thanks to Vicky going above and beyond and keeping it stress free.

Melanie R, Western Australia
Cannot recommend Vicky highly enough , from start to finish she went above what was required and made our purchase smooth sailing , and even organised a great quote in getting our van from East to West.

Dianne R, South Australia
It was a pleasure to work with Vicky & her team. Vicky went above & beyond for us. We tried selling privately which was an absolute nightmare. As soon as we signed with Vicky everything was taken care of, the van was sold asap & we were extremely happy with the service we received. We would highly recommend selling your van with Find My Van.

Daphne H, New South Wales
We would like to thank Vicky & her team for selling our camper. Vicky was very professional & we appreciated the fact that all the paperwork was put together early in the process which made the sale go through easily. The truck & slide on North Star was only going to suit certain people, & that made the sale a little difficult. We would certainly recommend Find My Van.

Ben Royal Flair Piazza Purchaser
I couldn’t be happier with the van I purchased through Find My Van. I thoroughly recommend FMV to buy or sell.

Paul S, New Zealand
Amazing response times, excellent knowledge and very personable.

Neil H, New South Wales
Vicky was awesome to work with and sold my van quickly. The whole process was easy and well organised.

Bruce, South Australia
Managed to sell our van at a good price in a short time. Lovely people to deal with and everything went smoothly.

Jo, New South Wales Purchaser
What a great experience purchasing our new van with Vicky’s professional help & support. I’ve never used a broker before and was initially a bit nervous, but those nerves were quickly gone.
Vicky quickly got a sense of what we wanted and what we didn’t want. She did the searching, saved us so much time and money, and found an absolute gem of a van that is perfect for us. I highly recommend Find my Van

Ray S, Queensland
Friendly, seamless and great peace of mind to deal with. I’ll be back for the next van!

Joanna, South Australia
Vicky was amazing. She was so professional and selling our van to one of her clients was hassle free and reliable. It was an absolute pleasure and are so grateful that Vicky provided us with a stress free safe and dependable service.

Rob, South Australia
Vicky at Find My Van was very helpful, professional and overall did a fantastic job in selling my Stoney Creek Van for me. I would most certainly recommend find my van for anyone either looking to purchase or sell a second hand caravan.

Lynne, South Australia
I made contact with caravan dealers and was either advised “No room” or quoted excessive fees and charges to sell our caravan on consignment.
I began researching for a reliable option to sell our caravan and was excited to find a caravan broker. Vicky is very professional and thorough in all aspects of buying and selling a caravan. Distance is not a barrier to transacting. Her communication is brilliant.
Presale and pre-purchase requirements are thorough including security and safety checks. We will recommend Find My Van to folk wishing to buy or sell a caravan.
