When I was born ( a very long time ago ) I lived in a 12ft Bluebird caravan until I was two and a half. I don't remember it of course. Then my sister was born and my dad bought a 27ft Travel Master caravan. Even today I get homesick for it. We had a real coal fire with chimney and a water tank heated by the fire. Water was from a hosepipe. It had two tiny bedrooms and a drop down double bed in the lounge, it folded up behind wardrobe doors in the day. It had little gas lamps high up on the walls but they burned the ceiling. Each evening we had light from a paraffin lamp with glass shade. We had a little gas cooker, the gas bottle was outside. Eventually the coal fire burned the wall of the water tank thin and we couldn't use it.Then had two paraffin heaters for heating. We lived like this ( on private land ) until I was 16. I was bullied at school and called 'Gippo'.I did my homework by torch light in my tiny bedroom. Our beds were 2ft wide, floor 2ft wide, length 5ft 6ins. Tiny wardrobe at the end on the floor area. We moved when a by-pass got built. By this time the seams of our caravan were sealed with putty and all the windows were sealed closed with putty, couldn't open them incase they dropped out. We got housed by the council. I'd never lived in a house, I HATED IT. All that brick and concrete above my head! No soothing rain on the roof, had to climb stairs, nightmares every night, trying to get home to the caravan and failing. For decades! They're not so often these days. Just thought I'd share this with you!

I like it. Made of tough fibreglass that will not leak. This is how all vans should be made. Compressor fridge is very nice. It's a yes from me.

I love the White from the beginning of the video. Then when we went inside, that Sage Green is PERFECT!

Outstanding! A well-built, feature-packed fiberglass trailer anywhere near this price point is hard to believe. Send it to the US !

Very nice hopefully they come to the USA soon

These are lovely, really well thought through and a great first caravan or weekend regular camper. Well done to the manufacturer too.

Brilliant, wish we had them in Australia. Thank you.

wow, what an amazing use of space, great set up. Impressive

Hi Cameron! A proper Tardis this one! So much larger inside than it appears to be! Amazing, I love it! I'd like the orange one with the sage green inside! Take care xx 🥰

I think your doing an incredible job. Looking forward to seeing the finished article,,,,,keep up the good work

Just love them! My favourite so far is the sage green interior - but with curtains.

Thanks for the swift reply 😊

Fantastic design and fiberglass means no leaks at all !!! Great !!

Love the cars driving backwards! 23:47

out standing . love it

Brilliant best micro caravan and what an amazing price Big well done to you and the team should do very well in the UK best of luck !!

Absolutely love these. Really nice sensible weight vans.

I love the B-Roll shot at 23.55 of the Mercedes car outside driving backwards. I thought I was seeing things till I went back and watched it at that time stamp again.

I follow a few Turkish KZfaq caravan channels and have been impressed with what they have on offer there. It is good to see that they are now available in the UK. For me, I would have much preferred the onboard water tank for winter camping at ski resorts. Also, I do wish that this had an aircon option. An absolute necessity for my climate. For the UK market though, I think that the choices that you have made are appropriate and good. Good job Cameron!

Wow, absolutely fabulous!! Have been looking at the Go Pod but really wanted a wash room and then you pop up with this! I haven't caravaned since I was a child in the seventies and coming up to retirement want a caravan for the dog and I to go exploring. It is quite a daunting thought to do it on my own and am watching as many videos as I can to pick up tips. I think my friends would describe me as quirky and want to thank you so much for coming up a design that I would have chosen myself. Now to find space in the diary to get see one in person!

Oh wow, they are gorgeous. I would love one, I could really see myself camping out in one of those but unfortunately I have nowhere to store one for when I'm not using it. I can dream. ❤

Love them ❤ although the grey one is my fav... something for the future when our children have left home 🙂

Fantastic design and great quality. The bathroom was a shocker. Amazing space in such a small van. Best of luck

Great caravan.Pity no UK company are smart enough to make a similar caravan at the same price

I like it. So nice to see Compact but, all the essentials on board 👌

Love them, just wish Leeds Caravans had a dealership in the Republic of Ireland 🙂

Rightfully you should be hugely proud of the Capsule. I love it but just wish it was a tad bigger. Im 6'3" & I have a 2020 Freedom Twinsport Flare and frankly struggle with its size. That said well done Cameron !

Fantastic looking and affordable caravan. If im ever in a position to get a caravan, would definitely look at one

Hi Cameron you have just thrown our retirement discussion into total chaos lol. We were just talking about our little campervan size wise and cost of upgrading to much bigger one and this vlog appeared and auto played. It stopped us dead in our tracks! Looking a great product and sealed fibreglass as in our 30+ years of caravaning keeping damp out has been a issue for most. All the people involved should be proud of bringing product to market. So now we are negotiating a new situation. Best of luck to all and you may see us afterall.

Amazing. At first I thought these were a little plain but as you spoke and we saw the different options I got really excited. The basic design for longevity is perfect and as you showed the different designs I thought these are brilliant. Rethinking about getting a mini caravan again now! Lol!

Look very interesting

It would be nice if they were available in Canada. I love the simplicity and minimalist vibe. Great camper (caravan).

Love them

Wow £17,000 and a compressor fridge what are UK caravan builders playing at come on guys smell the roses. Great vid keep them coming.

These are gorgeous I’d have the grey one but I’d want the retro wheels I’m more of a luxury hotel person but really enjoyed looking at these super cute caravans

It's great what u can fit in a very small space the size of it.. It's incredible & it's a Lot cheaper compared to other caravan on the market.👃

I love it!!! We have a Freedom Twinsport as we wanted a big bed but if it was just me and the dog id go for this over the Freedom - it looks easier to clean as well as being cool!

Just love these! Wouldn't it be nice to have them in the US?

If Leeds caravan centre can also bring over the next size up with fixed bed, orange exterior and contemporary interior then you’ve absolutely got a buyer here. Caught my eye in Instagram care of NAWB and I’ve been keeping an eye open.

These are lovely. A lot roomier than a Go Pod. I love the white wall tyres and all the colour schemes. Been looking at various 2 berths as there's only me. The washroom looks great.....It would be good to see the awning and how easy it would be for 1 person to put up.😍

Firstly, let me say that I'm coming at this from the view of someone with a large twin axle caravan with a fixed bed, so these are not a caravan I would consider. However, as an upgrade from a tent I can see them suiting some people. A couple of things I would point out, the lack of windows makes them look a little claustrophobic to me. In the lounge of our caravan we can sit and have a 270 degree view. The cupboards whilst being full length, with the doors not being that long it would be very difficult to get to stuff in the ends. I imagine that these would be a weekend caravan and not used for extended breaks or tours. Also, as you have to purchase from Leeds Caravans, wherever you live in the UK you would need to take it back there for any warranty work.

An orange one with the sage green interior for me!

Very nice! They share a lot visually with the freedom. Feels like its missing a 3/4 berth option? They look like sleek little runarounds but with great build quality. And with the freedom carpento coming in around 20k + last time i checked, its a good time to hit the market at a lower price point

Maybe small caravans is the way forward rather than towing a house behind 😊

This is mark 1 version can we have a mark 2 version made a little longer so it can be used for a two week holiday. With a bigger hob & grill, tv point a heater and more space for food prep and slightly wider front bed for normal sized un athletic adults then it may sell loads.

Think these look fab. Would love to iwn one.

I like it!🤺😁

These are fantastic. I wasn't expecting a loo, never mind a shower. You don't need for anything with one of these.

I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting that inside.

Great van, only bit of advice is it would be good to have some material under the front window - for when the bed is made - think the fibreglass would feel cold to sleep against.

I am really impressed with the design and the price. Regrettably, there are four of us, 2 adults and two children. The only way that I could see a way around that would be to buy a large tent to provide more space. If only a campervan could be sold for a similar price. I often take Cubs camping, but it's too posh for the free mud 😂

What an AMAZING caravan!!!...and what a handsome chap you are Cameron!😊...will it be available in the states?... CARRY ON!!!

The white and grey ones look amazing. I own a Go-Pod, also a one piece fibre glass construction van, but the capsule has the advantage of having a washroom and full height across the length of the van. Would definitely consider swapping the Go-Pod for one of these 👍👍

Cheapest isn't best. These caravans look great

Turkey brilliant caravan!

looks like a perfect mini caravan and im impressed with the bathroom. My only thoughts are that there seems to be a little lack of standard equipment such as the heater, and as stated a external BBQ and socket should be a standard item. I also think solar should be compulsory in all caravans. The awing looks pretty decent as well. I would rate it as 7 out of 10 so far and im sure by next year this will be heading upwards as the company sees what is selling. Ive looked at many caravans and the one that ticks all my boxes is the Tab 400 but the nucamp 4 berth boondock rather than the uk one thats only 3 berth. That the one someone should import.

You pointed out the white wall tyres Cameron, but didnt mention if they are available to buy in the UK ?

Makes the Barefoot look even more stupidly expensive. This is a great design and construction.

I reallly like these - definitely considering it. Will they be at the NEC next spring?

My only thing would be no skylight to let hot air out.

They are quite lovely and look so well built. Shame that there appears no awning option or even a pull out sunscreen? Retro fit an awning rail as with a campervan for a small drive away awning perhaps?

Looks like a great alternative to the Go-Pod, especially with the bathroom. The one negative is the size of the bed, just seems too small to be comfortable for 2 people. What size is the awning and any photos? Any USB charging points? Thanks

I'd need to do some sums; but I think this might hang on the back of a Honda GoldWing trike and tow very nicely. I've seen these at the centre on the A64 every time I go to Leeds - or leave. I'll have to pop in and have a look. I think my only criticism would be the lack of on-board water: no doubt that could be overcome.

Looks like an interesting little caravan. At 2.3m high you're not going to be able to store this in a garage though, which is a benefit that smaller caravans like Go-Pods and Freedom have and could save hundreds on storage fees each year. Do these have full EU or GB type approval Cameron? I heard that GB type approval is going to become mandatory from February 2025.

his is definitely the BEST mini caravan, and you could compare it with the TARDIS, I LOVE the single one-piece body, coming from parents who owned caravans for over forty years water ingress was a battle on all sides, I love tenting, but this is definitely on my shopping list, There is nothing out there (that I'm aware of) like it. We all have different wants and needs, I think I would have deleted gas hob and gone for battery and inverter and induction cooktop. Fabulous caravan, gas heating and hot water would be nice is that possible?

Do like this as better than the GoPod due to bathroom but what about aircon/heating? Stayed in statics in France and without air con they are a sweat box when temps are up. Same when in cold weather summer in UK without heating may as well be in a tent. What about plug sockets as one cooking solution people favour is the Remoska. Oh and what awnings are compatible as that is another difficulty with Go Pod.

Great little caravan. The finish looks better quality than the Freedom. Is there any issue with the smell of fibre glass?

I'd like to see the larger model.

Is there storage under the sitting area like in regular caravans?

Great video 👌 Fantastic concept!💪👍 would you know if a Hyundai i10 2020 version could tow one of these? Manufacturer says kerb weight 948kg’s braked towing capacity 700kg’s, many thanks and we wish you all the success with these great little vans 👌

A few questions... Where do you get white walled tyres from when they need replacing? Why is there no wardrobe, when there is space for one where there are worktops instead (eg opposite the hob)? And i think i would have chosen blue to match the Umarsan logo rather than just plain white.

Any chance of them being shipped to Australia as I note the transport company is a regular here???

Which model comes with a swimming pool?

Hmmm, nice little caravan. For our British climate I’d want the space heater and a leisure battery as a minimum. And there goes almost half of the payload, unless the chassis is capable of weight up plating. By the time you add luggage, gas bottle, plates, crockery, food and fridge contents etc then everything else has to go in the tow car I suppose.

Any chance of ditching the gas altogether. Then no gas bottles and piping. Easy to have an induction hob inside and BBQ outside?

Hi, will these be on show at the Birmingham motorhome/caravan show 2024?

What sort of awning do you think would go with them?

Extracter Fan for shower and kitchen. Condensation argh. Perhaps you need someone to do a road test of one of them. Cheers from old George and Jane Motorhome Adventures. 😂

Are the walls insulated or single thickness fibreglass? Condensation will be a problem if they’re not dual skin.

They look cool but lightweight caravans like these could be a nightmare towing them on a windy day.

Lovely little caravan. Sadly, like many of them, the length of the bed simply means I can't consider one.

Look very well made. Would have liked the option of a single bed and leaving the table up with seating. Not sure they are the cheapest, Freedom sport are fibreglass and sell for around £14000.

Love the caravan and the two tone paint. However I absolutely hate the white wall tyres and those domed chrome hub caps. A simple flat chrome hub cap like a 70s Sprite Musketeer and a normal black tyre would look far better.

The payload is only 100Kg. What does the off-grid pack, motormover, canopy and water heater weigh please? I don't want a cold shower and moving this on my own is a no no. The weights of these accessories must come off the payload? What would the cost be of a Mini with these accessories added on please also?

Brilliant for someone who wants a small caravan. My only comment would be that the door is on the wrong side for UK usage, which may put some people off from a safety viewpoint.

It’s gawjuss 🥰

Cameron, may I ask how tall you are? I have a tall husband and our experience with camper and is that we take an awning and he sleeps in his carp bed!😂 This could be a deal maker!

Have they got heating and plug sockets

What a surprise there was an orange one . Plain white looks boring. Looking at the space at back would have been better to fit 3 burner gas hob.

I would never tow a caravan in the UK that did not have a stabiliser fitted. It is not to do with the weight but the wind on the side and under the caravan

I love them but my hubby is 6 foot 6, so that bed is a no no.

£17,000 🤔

Remote mover ???

Toilet kitchen is a priority to self Sustainable holidaying or weekend getaways .. That’s a plastic box that would make life miserable…

Kerb weight

Would of been nice if he laid down flat to see how much room there was. Looked a bit tight ! ! !

Watch out gopod , more height , cheaper , toilet and shower room . The grey and white are a hit , curtains are a no no , chintzy is not in 👍

Honestly, I think the barefoot is better. But that’s just personal taste.

So you get a shower but hot water is optional? Brrr.
