    Are they? As caravans are quite popular in Europe, I can’t imagine we are missing something in a lighter caravan, so who do Americans have in theirs that makes the heavier?

      From a quick look at an store for caravans a bit back it seems like the American caravans are much longer and have expanding sides. Basically you would need a lorry permit in Europe to be allowed to pull one of those.

        Many of those are not really intended for travel, but as permanent housing. See also: Trailer Park.

          It was caravans in this style:

          So they don’t really look like the ones that are intended to be left in place.

          The lightest of these you might be allowed to drive in Sweden with a standard license but most would require an extended license for heavy load at the least.

            I’d still consider these not “caravans” but “mobile homes”. That’s some monsters I’d expect to be hauled around by film crews and circuses for permanent living on the move.
