  Each different caravan range will vary in size and weight depending on the manufacturer. Across our range of new caravans from Swift and Bailey, and pre-owned models from other manufacturers, there are plenty of different layouts and dimensions to choose from so it’s important to make sure that your new caravan suits your needs size-wise.
