In Australia, family caravans have seen a revival, yet many families are looking to save money, making new purchases less feasible. With this in mind, we present five second-hand family caravans that are approximately five to seven years old and are advisable for purchase.
Ezytrail Parkes 15
The Ezytrail Parkes 15 is a compact, off-road pop-top caravan designed to accommodate four people. It features a rear extension that increases usable space at the campsite, and comes with a large king-size main bed. Additionally, there are two north-south facing bunk beds at the front, with the lower bunk being a king single and the upper bunk a standard single, making it suitable for families with older children.
The bunks are conveniently located behind the onboard bathroom, ensuring privacy and equipped with their own reading lights and windows. This caravan includes hot water plumbing for the shower and an external slide-out kitchen, along with off-road capable hardware such as independent suspension, an AL-KO off-road hitch, and 16-inch alloy wheels with dual spares.
