The choice between a caravan (travel trailer) and a motorhome depends on travel style rather than technical superiority, according to Katharina Mörlein of the Dortmund dealer Dürrwang-Mörlein. A caravan suits those who stay long at one site: the towing vehicle remains free for excursions, and living space per budget is often larger. A motorhome is better for daily relocation and does not require a second car. Before buying a caravan, buyers should check the towing vehicle's permissible towing capacity and hitch load, as well as the driving licence class — heavier combinations require BE.
