At Goldstar RV, our range of caravans—from family caravans to lightweight hybrids—offers something for every type of traveller. In this guide, we’ll walk you through key considerations to help you choose the best caravan for your adventures.
1. Define Your Travel Style and Destination
Your travel plans and destination can significantly impact the type of caravan best suited to you. With options like off-road caravans, small caravans, and hybrid caravans, there’s a model for every type of adventure.
• For Semi-Off-Road and Highway Touring The Liberty Tourer is a touring caravan designed for semi-off-road travel, offering smooth journeys on highways with occasional excursions on light off-road paths. These caravans come equipped with an internal kitchen and a full ensuite, ideal for extended trips on main roads with a bit of extra exploration.
• For Rough Terrain and Remote Camping If you envision more rugged travel, our Multi Terrain models are built with independent suspension and a heavy-duty construction. These caravans are built for adventurous spirits who want to go off the beaten path, allowing for stability and durability on uneven roads.

4. Match Your Caravan with Your Tow Vehicle
When choosing a caravan, knowing your vehicle’s towing capacity is crucial. Goldstar RV offers lightweight caravans as well as more robust off-road caravans, so you can find a model that aligns with your tow vehicle’s specifications.
• For Smaller Vehicles Our range of lightweight caravans, like the Hybrid Caravan, is designed to be easily towable by most vehicles, making them a great choice if you have a smaller tow vehicle.
• For Higher-Capacity Tow Vehicles Models like the Multi Terrain require a tow vehicle with higher towing capacity due to their off-road capability and rugged construction. Ensure your vehicle matches the specifications to enjoy a safe and smooth towing experience.

5. Decide on Your Camping Style: Caravan Park or Free Camping?
Your preferred camping style can also help narrow down your options. Whether you enjoy staying at fully equipped caravan parks or prefer off-grid free camping, choosing a caravan that aligns with your camping style is key. Bear in mind, all caravans within the Goldstar RV range come equipped with solar panels and batteries, and can be used off grid for a limited period of time.
• For Campground Comfort The Liberty Tourer offers all the comforts you’d expect in a caravan, including a full ensuite and internal kitchen. This model is perfect for those who primarily stay in campgrounds where power, water, and other amenities are readily available.
• For Free Camping and Off-Grid Adventures If free camping is part of your journey, consider our off-road caravans like the Multi Terrain or the Toy Hauler, which are designed to support off-grid travel. Many off-road caravans include larger water tanks, heavier duty chassis and suspension and optional additional battery capacity, making them ideal for remote camping. If you plan to do full off grid camping, you may wish to look at upgrades such as additional solar panels, lithium batteries, or an inverter to provide you with off grid 240v capabilities.
