Avan Aspire 555 (2026)
From $69,850
One of the lightest ensuite caravans on the Australian market. The Aspire 555 packs an island queen bed, separate shower and toilet, 170 L three-way fridge and café dinette into a 5.36 m single-axle pop-top with a 1,480 kg tare. ATM of 1,880 kg means it's legally towable behind a wide range of mid-size SUVs and dual-cab utes — not just heavy 4WDs. Hardtop variant also available.
What we like
- ✓ 1,480 kg tare — one of the lightest internal-ensuite caravans on the market
- ✓ 1,880 kg ATM keeps the tow-vehicle pool wide (mid-size SUVs and dual-cabs)
- ✓ Single-axle simplicity and easy reversibility
- ✓ Pop-top design parks under most carports and reduces tow drag
What we don't
- ✕ Couples-only layout — no family configuration in this size
- ✕ Single-axle limits payload capacity (400 kg)
- ✕ Entry-level off-grid spec (200 W solar, AGM battery as standard)
- ✕ Avan's dealer network is thinner than Jayco or New Age outside metro areas
