Questions

Caravan or Motorhome?

Obviously, we prefer caravans. Here's why:

1) They're cheaper and don't need much maintenance. We don't need to invest in a motor vehicle that we'll only use a few weeks a year.

2) Motorhomes are generally based on commercial vehicles. In other words, they're not very pleasant to drive. With a caravan, you drive your own vehicle, which is more comfortable, safer and much less noisy because you don't have a kitchen with rattling cuttlery behind your ears.

3) Caravans are more spacious inside because all the space is used for living - not for engines and gearboxes and steering wheels etc…

4) Once at the destination, we can unhitch and have a car to explore more inaccessible places, do some aggressive offroading, go shopping, go out for dinner, etc....

5) More cargo: with a caravan, we not only have the storage areas of the caravan, but also the luggage compartment of our own car.

6) The caravan doesn't become obsolete and lasts forever (at least ours do). We'll never have the displeasure of the engine breaking down one day and the repair costing more than a new motorhome. Or be excluded from an area because our motorhome no longer meets environmental requirements. We can change cars, but the camper stays.

Which Caravan is best for me?

Looking to get started in the world of trailers? Only need space for two adults? Will you mainly use it in warm temperatures? You have a front wheel hatchback?

We recommend the Camper X XP3.

Are you looking for a very compact, sturdy caravan suitable for rugged offroad conditions and extreme weather that can accommodate 2 to 4 adults + a child?

We recommend Decamp X1+.

Do you intend to go camping as a family for several days or weeks? Is an indoor bathroom and indoor kitchen absolutely essential (camping during winter / wife's ultimatum)?

We recommend the Decamp X3.

Do you compete in Karting/Motocross/Dirtbike/Quad events and are tired of staying in hotels far away from the track/trails? Do you want to take your ADV bike to Morocco and get there without back pain? Do you have large toys you like to take on holiday? Do you want to save on transport and hotels? Do you own a race team and want a cargo trailer that you can tow with your existing vehicles where your mechanics can sleep in saving you thousands?

We recommend the unique all-terrain C3 trailer model that combines the advantages of a car transporter/mobile garage trailer with those of a caravan.

What is a Pick up truck cell?

A new invention that is taking the overlanding / camper market by storm. Basically a turn-key solution that you drop on the cargo bay of a pick-up truck with the removeable jacks that come with it. You instantly turn your pick up truck into a go-anywhere offroad camper van.


Which cell is best for me?

Do you want a cell with an elegant design, compact, lightweight, easy to install and uninstall and built like a battle tank?

We recommend the Decamp Backpack S

Do you want a cell with more interior space and that allows you to spend several days in contact with nature thanks to its extended autonomy, complete interior kitchen and optional hot water?

We recommend the Camper X Xplorer.

Both are universal, fit into any pick-up truck and require no modification whatsoever. Due to their removable nature, they do not require homologation and are considered cargo.

What Dimensions do our caravans have?

Designed for maximum freedom and adventure, our caravans are ultra-compact and perfectly suited to driving on European and British roads. We don't sell caravans that are excessively large and difficult to use in Europe, as is seen in Australia, the USA and Africa.  

Due to its small size, you'll have the security of being able to cross the narrowest and most rugged roads and terrain, as well as being able to store your caravan inside standard-sized garages.

Do I need a Special Driving License?

The various caravan models we offer are extremely light compared to the traditional caravan range due to the extensive use of aluminum. The weight of a caravan can vary from 690 kg to 1150 kg. Depending on the country you live in, if combined with the weight of your car, the total weight doesn't exceed 3,500kg, you won't need an additional license.

But we always recommend getting a BE license, it's a good experience and it's a guarantee that you won't have problems with different interpretations of the law by the authorities.

How are our caravans equipped?

Each caravan in its basic configuration offers the comfort of home and is ready to use as soon as you have access to a power socket. Double bed, kitchen, all the necessary bathroom fittings, storage space, water tank, water pump, insulation, waste water outlet and interior and exterior lighting. 

Built with lightweight yet luxurious materials, each space is designed to be practical, comfortable, and compact. 

There is the possibility of customizing each product, increasing the level of autonomy and adding extra options such as extra beds, solar panels, a fridge, an awning, heating, air conditioning, a spare wheel, a bicycle rack, etc…

What is the delivery time?

Once the caravan has been chosen and the options selected, it takes between 8 and 16 weeks to deliver the caravan, depending on the model and the time of year it was ordered. You can pick it up from our warehouse in Cascais, Portugal or we can deliver it straight to your home in the UK. All our prices include UK VAT and all customs and shipping fees.
