How Does a VanHome Compare to a Caravan?

As Australians search for affordable housing solutions, many are drawn to a space that can move with them while providing the comforts of a traditional home.

Caravans have long been associated with on-the-go living, but what about those seeking a step up in space and permanence without sacrificing the liberty to relocate?

This is where VanHomes shines—providing easy-to-move, comfy, and customizable mobile granny flats and portable retirement homes.

VanHomes vs. Caravans: Understanding the Living Experience

A caravan might be the first thing that comes to mind when considering mobile living. Frequent travellers find caravans a practical choice, offering convenience and the freedom to move from place to place easily. However, if you aim to settle into a comfortable and spacious living area for a more extended period, VanHomes proves to be the standout choice.

The Longevity of Design

We take pride in our unique approach to creating portable living spaces. Unlike traditional caravans designed for short stays, our granny flat solution has been crafted for long-term occupancy. The foundation of our design philosophy is to create a living space that feels like home, adaptable to your lifestyle, rather than a temporary spot to rest during your travels.

The Space to Live and Grow

Size plays a crucial role in the comfort and practicality of a living space. This is where VanHomes shines. While caravans are confined by the need to travel on roads and swiftly establish a campsite, we have surpassed these limitations. VanHomes are carefully designed to expand upon arrival, significantly increasing the available space and providing a level of comfort almost three times greater than that of a typical caravan.

Your Home, Your Rules

With VanHomes, customisation is not just a concept; it's a reality. Unlike the fixed interior of a traditional caravan, our granny flats are designed with the possibility of personalisation, enabling you to create a unique space. Our dedication to providing a fully relocatable, modular home means that while caravans cater to the nomadic, VanHomes cater to the settler, the dreamer, the planner – to you.

The VanHomes Difference: Embracing Flexibility Without Sacrificing Comfort

VanHomes shine with their unique blend of mobility, comfort, and customisations, making them perfect for various lifestyles:

Retirement Readiness: Our portable retirement homes offer unmatched comfort, accessibility, and mobility, ensuring a smooth transition into retirement.

Our homes don't just meet standards; they redefine them. As legally registered caravans, they are fully compliant and perfect for road travel, yet they stand out as long-term, movable granny flats.
