Folding
Caravans, Pop Up Caravans, Compact Caravans, Convertible Caravans
And Mini Caravans
There are not many makers of these unusual units
with many of the older manufactures no longer making them. The bulk
of the units in the UK will have been made by Gobur, Rapido Esterel
or Fleurette although rumour is strong that Pennine may be entering the
folding caravan market, we will have to wait and see if the Pennine
Folding Caravan is just a rumour or reality. It would be a great
lift for this type of unit to see a big manufacturer like Pennine
start production.

Gobur Folding
Caravans
Well speak to an owner and you will soon
realise this company is something
special. They will no doubt tell you of
the great backup service and how good
resale price are. These units realy do
hold there value well compared to some
of your average caravans. if you want
proof of that just check out some
secondhand prices. Gobur themselves also
sell secondhand units so a great place
to start looking for a new or used Gobur
folding caravan. The great advantage of
these units lies in two factors, the
ability to be able to store them in the
garage and the ease and economy of
towing them around. For more on Gobur
the folding caravan that is hand built
in Norfolk take a look at their website

The
benefits of a folding caravan are that they often have a low
centre of gravity and low tow weight and are easy to
store manoeuvre and general handle. It also seems
that resale vale can be very good and there are some
very old units around bringing good price, that
suggests they are cared for or built well or maybe
both. Remember these unit could be spending a large
part of their life in a garage unlike conventional
caravans that don't fold.
Pop Top Caravans

Trigano Pop Top
Or Pop Up Caravan
Well when it comes to finding out what's
available Trigano aren't the best at
selling themselves on the internet, but
we did search around to find a website
that gives you an good overview of the
range, pity it wasn't linked from a
Trigano all products website. Having
said that Trigano seem to be up there
when it comes to the production of the
pop top or pop up caravan. We understand
they are made in France but they have
dealers in the UK and its better to view
the dealers websites to see what is
actually available here in the UK. The
Trigano Silver is the one to check out
>>
More On The Trigano Pop Top |
Pop up caravans or pop top caravans as some call
them are not new and have been around for many years. In fact you
will see several of the older units on the likes of Preloved and
eBay, still bringing good prices.
Used Folding And Pop Up Caravans

caravans that were imported into the UK from Rapido and Esterel and
