Embarking on a family caravan adventure can be fun, relaxed and carefree, but choose the wrong van, and those fun times can soon turn into adults and kids in a very confined space! Choosing the perfect caravan tailored to your family’s needs is paramount for a harmonious holiday. To help you choose, we’ve compiled a list of our top picks best family caravans. Those that ensure comfort, convenience, and excitement every step of the way.
What Features Make for a Great Family Caravan?
Families come in a range of shapes and sizes, and so do the vans. Sleeping, eating and relaxing all have to be considered when you’re looking for the ultimate layout. And don’t forget the dog! Our animals are also an important part of the journey, so make sure you consider accessories that may make Fido’s life that little bit better on the road. All our caravans can have awnings and annexes fitted for extra room, privacy and security. Let’s take a look at some of the typical family configurations and what suits them best:
- For couples or friends: Check out a caravan with a spacious double bed or 2 singles with enough seating for cozy evenings indoors, and space outdoors to watch the sunset. Also, think about where you’d like your cooking. Are you an indoor or outdoor cook, and therefore where do you want your kitchen?
- If 3 is your number: Caravans with a double bed and a single bunk would be a great option to provide room in your sleeping arrangements. A larger dinette with a long side and a shorter one in an L-shape will be ideal.
- 2 adults, 2 kids: Bunk beds are a must on this one. They save space and give your kids their room. Make sure your dining has enough seating for those cold nights.
- For a family of 5: You’ll be looking for larger caravans that have multiple bunks, a double bed and maybe a fold-down dinette for some extra comfort. Consider an annex as well, to give you plenty of room to stretch out.
