Caravans Under 750kg?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Although you may be thinking that you\u2019d want to buy the largest caravan possible, because larger means more comfort, right? Well, the biggest difference between a caravan less than 750kg and one more than 750kg, is just that \u2013 the weight. Many of them have the same facilities, have space to sit and space to lie down. Because the washroom area tends to be the part that adds a lot of additional weight, you may not have a <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/small-caravans-with-shower-and-toilet-uk\/\">shower or toilet.<\/a> It just depends on the brand and model you purchase. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Lightweight_Caravans\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>Benefits of Lightweight Caravans <\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Even if lightweight caravans were not the first idea on your list for tourers, there\u2019s many reasons why they should be. Despite the difference in weight and size, or to put it more positively, because of the weight and size, there\u2019s many great benefits to choosing a lighter model, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easier_to_Tow_and_Dont_Require_a_Large_Towing_Vehicle\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>Easier to Tow and Don\u2019t Require a Large Towing Vehicle<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Towing a caravan can be an intimidating experience, especially if you\u2019ve never done it before. Country lanes, motorways and even reversing can be challenging to say the least. That is, if you\u2019ve got a standard sized caravan. Lightweight caravans are a whole lot easier to tow and as some of the lightest on the market are also narrower than standard tourers, it\u2019s possible to tow them without using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/best-caravan-towing-mirrors\/\"><span class=\"s3\">towing mirror<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">If you\u2019ve got a small car and have been looking only at standard and larger caravans up until this point, you may have been contemplating investing in a new car. Which is something you may want to avoid if you\u2019re on a tight budget, as having to buy a new car (or one that\u2019s at least new to you) as well as a caravan, amounts to quite a lot of money. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">With a lighter caravan, like one of the many out there under 750kg, however, there\u2019s no need to have a large towing vehicle. Consider the fact that you\u2019ll only be towing it around 10 to 20% of the time anyway. That means with a lightweight caravan, you will be okay using a standard family car or even smaller, without any trouble at all. There\u2019s even been some lightweight caravan owners who tow their tourer with a motorbike!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easier_to_Manoeuvre\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>Easier to Manoeuvre <\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Following nicely from the above, it\u2019s worth expounding on the fact that it\u2019s a lot easier to manoeuvre a lighter caravan. For those over 750kg, if you don\u2019t have a good quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/caravan-motor-movers\/\"><span class=\"s3\">motor mover<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s a lot harder to manage, especially when trying to reverse and get into place at your pitch at the site. A problem that you just don\u2019t have with lightweight caravans. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greater_Amount_of_Choice_and_Flexibility\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>Greater Amount of Choice and Flexibility <\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">When it comes to the choice of caravan sites, you\u2019ll come across restrictions for larger models. Whether it\u2019s that the pitching space is not quite big enough or there\u2019s just no room to manoeuvre properly with a bigger caravan, you won\u2019t have the same problem with a smaller tourer. That means you\u2019ll have even more choice and flexibility about where you can go on holidays with your caravan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cheaper_and_Easier_to_Put_into_Storage\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>Cheaper and Easier to Put into Storage<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">You\u2019ll always need to store your caravan away somewhere when it\u2019s not being used. With a standard or larger tourer, however, that normally means investing in a spot at a local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/how-much-is-caravan-storage\/\"><span class=\"s3\">storage<\/span><\/a> facility. Lightweight caravans are often small enough to park on your drive, if you have the space. That means you don\u2019t have to make regular trips to check on it and can just handle all maintenance, repairs, cleaning and setting up from the comfort of your own property. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">However, even if you don\u2019t have the space to store your lightweight caravan on your property, as the price of storage is often determined by caravan size, you\u2019ll still be at a distinct advantage for having a lighter model.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Popular_Lightweight_Caravans_Manufacturers_and_Models\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>Popular Lightweight Caravans Manufacturers and Models<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">If you\u2019re keen to learn more about the lightweight caravan options out there, we\u2019ve highlighted a couple of the most popular manufacturers and their best tourers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Freedom_Caravans\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>Freedom Caravans<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Freedom-Caravans-1.jpg\" alt=\"Freedom Caravans\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Freedom-Caravans-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Freedom-Caravans-1-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Freedom Caravans has been in business for over 30 years and in that time have had a prominent place in the tourer marketplace as the leading manufacturer and supplier of lightweight caravans. All their tourers, according to their website, have MTPLMs ranging from just 680 to 850kg and unladen weights of 580 to 680kg. Freedom by name and by nature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">If you were worried about the facilities and features you might have access to with caravans lighter than 750kg, there\u2019s really nothing to worry about with <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/the-freedom-caravan-club\/\">Freedom Caravans.<\/a> All their models come complete with tinted double-glazed windows, three-way fridges with an icebox and a gas hob. The more expensive models have additional features like showers, toilets and sinks, hot and cold water, skylights and blown-air heating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Another great feature of Freedom Caravans is that they\u2019re extremely watertight and made from six panels of fiberglass that are clamped together and then the resulting joints are fibre glassed so that you have just one shell. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Freedom_Jetstream_Twin_Sport\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>Freedom Jetstream Twin Sport<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freedomcaravans.com\/caravan-sales\/new-caravans\/freedom-jetstream-twin\/\">https:\/\/freedomcaravans.com\/caravan-sales\/new-caravans\/freedom-jetstream-twin\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7745\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Freedom-Caravans.jpg\" alt=\"Freedom Caravans\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Freedom-Caravans.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Freedom-Caravans-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The first of the three Freedom lightweight caravans we\u2019ve highlighted is the Jetstream Twin Sport.

One way that this is different from the above, you\u2019ll notice, is that there\u2019s no toilet or sink area.

There are two-berth editions that are perfect for any couples who want to hit the road together or if you\u2019re riding solo and just want a more luxurious and relaxing place to setup your home away from home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TAB_320_Off_Road\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>TAB 320 Off Road<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventurelv.com\/new-caravans\/320-road\">https:\/\/www.adventurelv.com\/new-caravans\/320-road<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/TAB-320-Off-Road.jpg\" alt=\"TAB 320 Off Road\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/TAB-320-Off-Road.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/TAB-320-Off-Road-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The TAB model we wanted to highlight a little here is the TAB 320 Off Road caravan. This is very similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventurelv.com\/new-caravans\/320\"><span class=\"s3\">TAB 320<\/span><\/a>, with the major difference being described in its name \u2013 it has special off-road tyres that will help you to navigate across various terrains, particularly those unfinished<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>and makeshift roads you get in and around some sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Ideally this would work well in an outfit that included a 4&#215;4 or SUV towing vehicle. It remains a similar size to the other models in the range and has the same facilities too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Also, worth considering is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventurelv.com\/new-caravans\/400\"><span class=\"s3\">TAB 400<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\">Final Thoughts <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">So, whether you\u2019ve been planning to invest in a lightweight caravan for a long time or have only just come across the idea recently. Even if you\u2019ve been on the fence about them, we\u2019ve hopefully been able to show you that there are many great benefits to opting for a lightweight and smaller caravan rather than a large and heavy behemoth. As well as costing less upfront and to run them, they\u2019re also far easier to tow and despite their size, are just as reliable, robust and filled with features and facilities as full-size models.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you want to know what your caravan and car weigh together then you should head to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/public-weigh-bridge-cost-check-how-much-your-caravan-weighs\/\">weighbridge<\/a> and find out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It won\u2019t have escaped your notice that when it comes to buying a caravan, there\u2019s quite a wide selection to choose from.
