Different caravans are made to meet the demands of different shapes and sizes of families. It can be overwhelming to start your search for a new caravan, considering the sheer number of models available on the market. In this article, Canterbury Caravans is making the process easier with a simple guide to choosing a caravan that suits your family.

Asking Yourself the Right Questions

The first step to finding your dream caravan is figuring out your needs and wants. When you’re planning to buy a caravan, ask yourself:

• What type of van would suit my family?
• Can I find a suitable second-hand caravan for sale?
• Do we need an ensuite?
• What size and how many beds do we need?
• How long will we be travelling? (This can help you decide on features like washing machines and storage solutions)
• Where will we store the van when not in use?
• Will we be travelling off-road?
• What towing capacity can our car handle?

Understanding Your Vehicle’s Towing Requirements

You need to know the towing capacity of your family vehicle to avoid looking at caravans that are too heavy. If you plan on buying a new towing vehicle, you can always make that decision after you find the right caravan for your family. Speaking to expert caravan dealers will help you understand what your car can handle.
