However, while the benefits of a hybrid caravan can practically speak for themselves, there are always some drawbacks to consider:

  1. Although hybrids are lighter than caravans, you must still consider your tow vehicle&#;s towing capacity and offroad capabilities. Depending on the weight of the hybrid, which can vary model to model, you may need a larger tow vehicle that is suitable for your offroad adventures. 

  2. The size of a hybrid is the major draw factor &#; offering similar internal comfort as a caravan yet with the offroad flexibility of a camper. But to achieve this, certain features, and benefits of a caravan &#; such as a full-size fridge and roomier bunks and living areas &#; must be compromised. 

  3. The cost of insurance for a hybrid caravan will be more expensive than a camper due to the size, weight, internal features and overall worth of the hybrid.
