Here are the consideration for buying  off road caravans

When you get into the market looking for an off road caravan, the several varieties available may be confusing. Since these caravans are like the regular caravans that are meant for roads, things maybe even more complicated.

 However, what separates the off road caravans from other caravans is the fact that they have been modified in a way so that they handle unsealed roads, bush and desert tracks.

 The modifications also allow the caravan to bear more load that may occur due to corrugation, ruts and potholes. Since there are several types of modifications, it is essential to go for a caravan with the changes that meet your needs. The common modifications include higher ground clearance reinforced chassis, off-road suspension kits and off-road tires.

Full height is important

The full height of off road caravans looks more similar like the conventional caravans in terms of features, size and liability. Therefore when selecting a caravan, several things should be considered and contribute to the full height. Some of the things include,

• Large water tanks
• Galvanized chassis
• Stringer reinforced cabinets
• Large size chassis members
• Coupling if the tow  

Most high-end caravans manufacture the inclusion as part of their standard features. Some off-road caravan manufacturers only incorporated a bare list of features, and other additional ones like energy efficiency lights, heavy-duty bumpers and many others need to be added on.

The main disadvantage associated with buying an off-road caravan with all inclusions is that regardless of being durable, they are heavy and large. Therefore using a powerful tow is crucial.

 Some towing vehicles you may wish to consider a V8 land cruiser as well as F250. You may also consider using a diesel power 4WD that is a lot better, unlike the petrol-powered tow for better torque.

The pop off top caravan

The pop off the road caravan is one of the most popular caravans in a humid climate since they allow proper ventilation and they are not heavy like regular off road caravans. People do not require an expensive and powerful tow vehicle to pull the caravan along since it can comfortably accommodate five people. 

The lower height of this caravan makes it ideal for higher speed and improved fuel economy. Its smaller size on the hand helps it to slip into any garage or a parking area space. However, this caravan is not able to go to every terrain. 

Nevertheless, this should not be used on bush tracks with low hanging branches. In addition, they do not have ample storage space like those in regular heavier off road caravans.

Overall, the rule thumb to the pop caravan is best suited for a one-carpeted road as well as desert environments. You may choose to get one if you do not have a powerful vehicle when you weight accommodation is not much. However, if you want a true versatility, then you will have to go for a fully loaded off-road caravan.
