“Best” depends on where you’re dragging it: beach ruts, corrugations, or just the in-laws’ driveway.
Look for independent suspension, decent ground clearance (≈250–300 mm), light ATM (under 2,000 kg), and short body length (≈4–5.5 m) for easy towing behind mid-size SUVs.
Essentials include all-terrain tyres, stone protection, sealed cabinetry, and enough water/solar capacity to outlast a long weekend without begging a caravan park for power.
New small off-road caravans typically run about AUD 45,000–90,000, while used examples can be found from roughly AUD 25,000–70,000 depending on brand and kit.
Check the tow ball weight suits your vehicle, and take it over a speed hump before buying—if it clatters like a shed full of cutlery, keep looking.
