Planning trips as a couple is about more than just the destination. It’s about finding the right setup to make every journey easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. The best caravans for couples in Australia aren’t just well-built, they also fit your lifestyle, your travel plans, and your sense of adventure.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through our top SWAG picks for two, showing you exactly what to look for (and why it matters on the road).
Best Hybrid Caravan for Couples
Hybrid caravans give you the comfort of a full-height van with the durability and clearance to handle off-road travel. If you’re looking for the best hybrid caravan for couples, the right fit will depend on how much space you want, how far you’re going, and how long you plan to stay out.
At SWAG, our hybrid range includes three full-height, 2-berth models, which are all built with off-road suspension, ensuite bathrooms, king beds, and off-grid power. The main difference is size and how that space works for your travel style.
SCT13 Off-Road Hybrid Caravan for Couples
Our most compact hybrid. At just 6m long, it’s ideal for couples who want a simple, feature-packed van that’s easy to tow and store. Despite its size, it still includes an internal ensuite, indoor dining space, lithium power, and a king bed.
SCT16 Off-Road Hybrid Caravan for Couples
A step up in internal space. You’ll get a larger dinette, more storage, a split ensuite, and extra room to move. It’s a great all-rounder, spacious enough for extended trips, but compact enough for weekends away.
SCT18 Off-Road Hybrid Caravan for Couples
The biggest in the range. Built for longer touring, this model offers more bench space, more comfort, and the kind of layout that makes day-to-day living easy. If you’re planning to stay on the road for weeks or months, this is the one to look at.
Each model is built tough, fitted with premium inclusions, and backed by SWAG’s years of off-road expertise. Whether you want compact and capable or spacious and tour-ready, there’s a hybrid caravan here made for two.
Best Pop-Top Caravan for Couples
Pop-top caravans are ideal for couples who want to stay compact on the road without missing out on key features. With a lower travel height, they’re easier to tow, more aerodynamic, and simpler to store at home.
Our range features two options: one smaller and ultra-efficient for short trips, and one with extra space inside for longer stays or those who like a bit more room to move.
SCT13 Off-Road Hybrid Pop-Top Couples
This is our most compact pop top – lightweight, full off-road, and fully self-contained. It includes a king bed, internal ensuite, L-shaped dinette, and swing-away dining table in a 6m layout that’s easy to manage. Prefer a dedicated indoor dining setup? The SCT13 Hybrid Pop-Top Couples (CAFE) version of this model swaps the L-shape for a café-style face-to-face layout for more structured seating.
SCT16 Off-Road Hybrid Pop-Top Caravan for Couples
A step up in size, this model offers more internal storage, extra bench space, and a larger dining area, all while keeping the benefits of a pop top. It’s well suited to couples who want a bit more comfort but still value low travel height and off-road performance.
Both models are designed to handle off-road touring and are packed with the essentials you need. Whether you prioritise compact towing or a roomier interior, these pop tops offer a strong mix of comfort, practicality, and performance.
Best Small Caravans for Couples
If you’re looking for a van that’s easy to tow, quick to set up, and still packed with features, smaller caravans are a smart place to start. The best small caravan for couples strikes the right balance between simplicity and comfort, giving you everything you need without the weight or bulk of a full-size setup.
At SWAG, both of our 13-foot options tick those boxes, but they offer slightly different experiences depending on how you like to travel.
SCT13 Off-Road Hybrid Pop-Top Couples
This model is ideal if you want to keep your towing height low, reduce wind drag, and store your van in tighter spaces like carports or garages. The pop-top roof extends when set up, giving you full standing room and airflow, while keeping your profile compact in transit. It’s perfect for shorter trips or weekenders where agility and ease of use matter most.
SCT13 Off-Road Hybrid Caravan for Couples
Prefer to just park and relax without lifting the roof or setting anything up? The fixed-roof version gives you that convenience. You’ll get better insulation in extreme weather, a more permanent internal feel, and less setup time at camp. It’s a great fit if you plan on doing longer trips or just want the structure of a traditional hard-top caravan, in a small, manageable footprint.
Best Weekender Caravan for Couples
A good weekender caravan should be quick to set up, easy to tow, and comfortable enough that you actually want to use it. When time is limited, you don’t want to spend it wrestling with unnecessary setup. That’s where our SCT16 range comes in, offering just the right amount of space and simplicity for stress-free getaways.
SCT16 Off-Road Hybrid Pop-Top Caravan for Couples
The pop-top version gives you the flexibility of a lower towing height, making it more aerodynamic on the road and easier to store at home. When you arrive, the roof lifts easily to give you full internal headroom and a spacious feel. It’s ideal for shorter trips where you still want comfort, but don’t need the permanence of a full-height van. The smaller profile also makes it easier to navigate tight driveways or narrow campsites.
SCT16 Off-Road Hybrid Caravan for Couples
Prefer to arrive and relax without setting anything up? This fixed-roof caravan gives you a ready-to-use setup the moment you pull in. With more insulation and a full-height interior, it feels solid and homely even for a short stay. It’s a great choice if you value convenience, especially in bad weather or after a long drive. Just pull up, open the door, and settle in.
Best Touring Caravan for Couples
Longer trips demand more from your caravan… more space, more storage, and more comfort over time. When you’re on the road for weeks or months, the little things start to matter. You need a van that holds up in all conditions, gives you room to spread out, and makes day-to-day living easy.
That’s exactly what our larger hybrid models are built for.
SCT17 Semi-Off-Road Hybrid Caravan for Couples
The SCT17 offers a big step up in layout efficiency without going overboard in size. You’ll get a separate shower and toilet, a dedicated queen bed, an upright fridge, washing machine, and ample internal storage, all in a manageable footprint. It’s ideal for couples who want to tour with a bit more breathing room while still keeping things practical.
SCT18 Off-Road Hybrid Caravan for Couples
Our largest couples model, the SCT18, is built for extended travel. With more bench space, a larger dinette, and generous storage throughout, it feels more like a mobile home than a caravan. If you’re planning a full lap of Australia or just want something that feels spacious day after day, this model makes it easy to stay on the road longer, without compromise.
Best Caravan Layout for Couples
The best caravan layout for couples isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about how you want to live while you travel. Your layout shapes how you move, rest, cook, and store gear day after day, so it’s worth thinking beyond the floorplan.
Here are some practical things to consider before deciding what’s right for you:
- Pop Top or Full-Height Caravan? A pop top gives you a lower towing profile, better fuel economy, and easier storage at home. But it doesn’t have the solid internal feel, temperature control, and quicker set up a full-height caravan offers.
- Compact or Spacious? A smaller 13-foot van keeps things easier to tow and lighter on the car. A 16- or 18-foot van gives you more room to stretch out, with more storage and space to move around, which is helpful for longer trips or full-time travel but harder to tow.
- Storage and Accessibility Think about how often you’ll be packing and unpacking. Larger models offer more built-in storage, bigger bench space, and room to move, ideal for longer hauls. Smaller layouts keep things compact and convenient, especially for weekend travel.
