Conventional (standard) caravan
Standard caravans usually are single axle and are between 3 and 6.5 metres long. The interior layout varies greatly but generally they can sleep from two and six people. As standard modern vans will have a washroom, featuring a toilet, handbasin and on more upmarket models a full shower. A kitchen area with sink, hob and some sort of worktop are fairly standard too. Most caravans in the UK are in fact British built (unusual nowadays as the UK manufacturing industry is in a severe slump in other products). However some foreign manufacturers are starting to make inroads into the UK market mainly European and American manufacturers.

The top UK manufacturers are Elddis, Lunar, Bailey, Coachman, Swift, Vanmaster – these are the big 6 in terms of manufacturers and the majority of the caravans you see for sale (new or used) will be from one of these manufacturers. However there are other popular caravan companies such as Adria, Caravelair, Knaus, Sterckeman, TECDethleffs, Hymer and Geist.

Twin Axle Caravans
Twin Axle Caravan, The twin axle design is used for bigger, heavier caravans making them easier to tow and more stable, but obviously harder to manoeuvre due to increased size and weight. Twin axle set ups are great for larger families or for those who use their caravans a lot – that extra space and storage makes life a lot more comfortable! Coachman, Elddis, Lunar, Bailey and Swift Group all offer twin axle caravans for sale.

Pop top caravans
Still around but much less popular than they used to be, pop top caravans use a pop up roof to increase headroom in a small caravan. This allows the caravan to be smaller and have much less frontal area meaning less drag and much better fuel consumption. Another majoer advantage is that they will fit in most conventional garages for winter storage. The most popular manufacturer is Eriba from Europe.

Tear Drop Trailers
These tiny but oh so stylish teardrop trailers are something of a modern classic. Exteremely popular with people who just want the basic essentials, i.e. A double bed with modest cooking facilities and perhaps a small sink, also popular with those who do not wish to tow large vans or purchase a seperate vehicle specifically for towing. These teardrop trailers can be towed by small sports cars and even trikes! manufacturers of teardrop trailers include Teardrop Trailers, The Pod and Stimson Designs.
