Go-Pods - Practical Caravan

Go-Pod micro caravans prove the old adage that ‘great things come in small packages’.

As a small caravan, each one is fun and versatile. These types of caravan are easy to tow, allow access to places that bigger caravans can’t reach and provide a whole new level of comfort and convenience compared to tent camping.

Go-Pods feature a one-piece monocoque design with eliminates the chances of water ingress and provides a rigid and stable structure – they’re also light enough for many people to manoeuvre by hand.

Inside its compact and aerodynamic body is a king-sized bed, seating/dining for four, a kitchen with hob, sink and fridge, storage, a camping loo and a pop-top to allow even six-footers to stand upright.

Perhaps best of all, Go-Pods start at around half the price of most full-sized tourers, and even the top model costs around a third of the price of a campervan. The other bonus is that, of course you get to drive around in your lovely car, not a van!

Go-Pods onboard heating makes it a truly-four-season touring option… in fact there’s nothing more ‘hygge’ than coming back to your toasty micro-van after a day out walking, cycling or fishing.

Finally, at 750kg MTPLM, Go-Pod is easy to tow with pretty much any modern car, it’s easy to see around and manoeuvre, and it’s aerodynamic profile will minimise fuel costs, too.
