Buying a caravan is a big decision, and finding the right one for your lifestyle can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to caravanning. In the latest episode of Caravan Conversations, Chad, CEO of Everything RV, joins Natalie to discuss what goes into choosing the ideal caravan. Whether you’re dreaming of off-grid adventures or family road trips, Chad’s advice will help you find the caravan that fits your needs best.
Key Considerations When Choosing a Caravan
1. Travel Style: Off-Grid vs. Caravan Park Do you want to explore remote landscapes, or do you prefer the convenience of caravan parks? Chad explains that your travel style impacts your caravan needs. A model with higher power capacity and robust off-road capabilities is essential for off-grid enthusiasts. Caravan parks offer more flexibility, so you might not need all the rugged features.
2. Finding the Right Features without Over-Capitalising One of the most common mistakes Chad has seen is overloading a caravan with unnecessary features. People often add everything they think they’ll need but rarely use most of it. Chad’s advice? Focus on essentials that align with your travel style and lifestyle, and be wary of advice from friends or influencers that might not apply to you.
3. Why Expert Advice Matters: With so much information, it’s easy to feel you know what you need. However, as Chad points out, the best insights often come from experienced advisors who ask the right questions about your goals and lifestyle. Consulting an expert can save you time, money, and future headaches, helping you avoid costly mistakes.

Practical Tips for Caravan Buyers
- Do Your Research: However, online information is only part of the puzzle. Speak with someone who has experience with different types of caravans.
- Understand Your Needs: Consider what your daily life will be like in the caravan. Will you need off-road capabilities, extra storage, or specialised features?
- Visit a Dealership: At Everything RV, you can see a variety of caravans in person and get hands-on with each model, which can help you narrow down what feels right for you.
- Avoid Influencer Advice: Trends might look appealing but may not suit your needs. Stick with advice tailored to you.
- Think Long-Term: Chad highlights that your caravan should serve you for years, so it’s essential to choose one that can adapt to changes in your lifestyle and travel plans.
