With a wide range of sizes and layouts available, they can suit couples, families, solo travellers and anyone planning relaxed road-based travel.

What Is a Touring or On-Road Caravan?

A touring or on-road caravan is designed primarily for travel on sealed roads.

Some models may also be suitable for short sections of well-maintained gravel road, but this depends on the caravan and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Common features may include:

  • Comfortable sleeping and dining areas
  • Practical kitchen facilities
  • Internal and external storage
  • Ensuite facilities, depending on the model
  • Air conditioning or heating
  • Single or tandem axle designs

Key Features to Look For

Layout and Comfort

Choose a layout that provides enough sleeping, dining and living space for the number of people travelling.

Towing Suitability

Check the caravan’s weight, payload and tow ball weight to make sure it is suitable for your tow vehicle once loaded.

Storage

Consider how much space you need for clothing, food, outdoor equipment and personal belongings.

Kitchen and Appliances

Check that the refrigerator, cooking appliances, hot water system and climate control suit the way you plan to travel.

If you intend to spend time away from powered caravan parks, also consider the caravan’s battery capacity and whether solar has been fitted.

Condition and Maintenance

When buying used, check for water ingress, tyre and brake condition, appliance operation and evidence of regular servicing.

Travel Plans

Think about the roads, caravan parks and campsites you plan to visit. An on-road caravan can be a practical choice when rough-road or off-road capability is not required.
