Can my car tow these campers?

 

These camper trailers weighs below 750kg so most vehicles can easily tow but we recommend you check your manual first.

 

 

Do the caravans have Electricity?

 

Yes they are powered by a 268Wh Bluetti lithium power bank which can deliver up to 600w 220v AC enough to charge laptops, routers and other light electronic devices on a sunny day, which is recharged by a 100W rooftop solar panel. The Power bank can however also be charged from mains AC with an extension cord that is already wired into the trailer when electricity is available on campsites.

 

 

 

What size is the bed inside?

 

It's a full size double bed with a thick mattress which converts to an L shaped couch during the day to comfortably sit or work inside with your head not touching the roof top even when roofop is closed.
