Caravans With Ensuite For Sale
Having an ensuite in a caravan offers a range of benefits, especially for those who enjoy long trips or off-road adventures or appreciate (and might miss) some of the comforts of home. However, ensuites can affect the space and weight of your vehicle, so it ultimately depends on your individual travel style, whether it's a spur-of-the-moment weekend getaway for two or a longer-term road trip adventure with the whole crew in tow.

FAQs - Caravan With Ensuite
Smaller models generally have smaller ensuites, known as 'wet' ensuites, with a combined toilet and shower area where the shower area doubles as the floor for the rest of the ensuite space. Mid-sized caravans are more spacious, so they may feature a separate shower and toilet and sometimes a small vanity. Larger or luxury caravans typically offer a much more comfortable ensuite with more room to move around. The toilet and shower may be separate, with additional features like a larger shower space, a bigger vanity, and extra storage.
Yes, most caravans with an ensuite have a hot water system. However, the type of hot water system, its capacity, and how it operates can vary depending on the caravan's size, style, and intended use (for example, budget, luxury or off-grid models). Gas hot water systems (usually LPG) are the most common. They heat water quickly, are energy-efficient, and are ideal for short-term use. Electric hot water systems typically heat water through a 240V AC connection when plugged into mains power or 12V DC when connected to a battery or solar system. Other systems include gas-electric combo systems, which combine gas and electricity to heat water, giving you the flexibility to use either energy source depending on availability.
Yes, an ensuite adds between 50 and 300 kilograms to a caravan's weight, and you also need to factor in fresh and grey water tank usage. This weight may approach or exceed a caravan's weight limits and affect a tow vehicle's capabilities.
