When you're buying your first caravan, one of the biggest decisions you'll make is choosing between a touring setup and an off-grid capable van. While they might look similar on the surface, these two styles are built for very different travel experiences. Whether you're sticking to the highway or heading bush, your van should match your lifestyle, your destination, and your tow vehicle. Here’s what every first-time buyer needs to know when weighing up touring vs. off-grid caravans.
