 The wide range of caravan designs, plus the large number of manufacturers provides a bewildering array of options for the prospective purchaser. Fortunately many of those options can be ignored when the choice is whittled down to the few units that could meet your requirements. An example:- you are looking for a van with twin beds rather than a double bed; you want a full height van rather than a pop-top; you want a front kitchen rather than a side kitchen, etc. etc. My advice in these pages is directed towards selecting a caravan suitable for accommodating two people in modest comfort during an Australian trip.
