Lightweight Hybrid Caravans from Titanium
For buyers new to the caravan scene, a hybrid is a style of RV which is a cross between a traditional caravan design and a camper trailer. It is typically suited to travellers wanting to go off-road with a narrower design, typically the same as the towing vehicle, to more easily take on narrow trails and tracks. These models have the same permanent structure walls as a caravan but with camper trailer style towing capability and suspension.
Victorian-based Titanium Caravans offers a trend-setting selection of hybrids which includes lightweight models using the Euro-style technique of composite construction. This technique reduces the weight of the vehicle and hence increases the towability by smaller vehicles.
Titanium has recently launched a new model in its hybrid ranges, the HS1. This vehicle has fibreglass constructed sandwich panels for the walls, hatches and the roof and a floor constructed with the honeycomb technique. The result is still the ruggedness for which the brand is well-known, but with a much lighter overall weight. Making it more suited to towing behind a wider range of cars, including some EVs.
Buyers new to the caravan market should know that when purchasing new models, manufacturers typically offer buyers choices with layouts. On the HS1, Titanium offers a number of layout options so owners can have their hybrid caravan set up to suit their specific travel and holiday style.
How much will a HS1 cost you? Titanium Caravans are advertising a price from just over $122,000. Using our Caravan Finance Calculator, buyers can convert that figure to caravan loan repayment estimates. Tip for first-time buyers – caravans typically come with a range of options and extras. Add an amount to cover these when calculating estimates.
