75 of them sleep four or more.

Read the tare figure correctly, it is not the towing number

Tare is the van as it left the factory, with nothing in it. ATM is the most it may legally weigh once you have loaded water, gas, food, clothes, tools and the annexe, and ATM is the figure your car's braked towing capacity has to cover.

Sorting on tare is the right way to find a light van, because it is the weight the maker built rather than the ceiling it is plated to. It is the wrong number to hand your tow rating. Across the vans on this page the published ATMs run from 2,390kg to 4,500kg. Check the ATM of the specific van against your specific car before you fall for a layout.

Tap any van for the full specs, floorplans and a tow check against your car.

Prices are manufacturer base-spec starting figures before options and on-road costs, and weights are manufacturer specifications. A range often covers several floorplans with different weights, so confirm the exact van against its compliance plate and a drive-away quote.

What to check on a caravan with a washing machine

A washing machine takes floor space, plumbing and water, and all three are competing with everything else in the van. The specs that matter most are the ones that tell you what is left over.

Payload is ATM minus tare, and it is what you have for water, gas, food, clothes, tools and the annexe. Fresh water is a kilogram a litre, so a full tank can be a serious share of the payload before anything else goes in. Ball weight comes out of your car's payload rather than the van's, alongside your passengers and everything in the boot.

Walk the layout in person rather than judging it from a floorplan drawing. Where a washing machine sits, and what it takes from the storage around it, is easier to judge standing in the van.

Check it against your car before you fall for it

Tow rating, ball weight, GCM and what is left of your payload once the family is aboard. The calculator does the legal arithmetic against your exact vehicle. No sign-up.

Common Questions

Can you get a caravan with a washing machine?

Yes. As of October 2026 there are 262 ranges in our catalogue with a washing machine and a published tare, from 53 manufacturers. The lightest is the Highclere Caravans Runaway 15'6 at 1,730kg tare. Across the vans on this page the published ATMs run from 2,390kg to 4,500kg. Tare is the empty weight, so it is the figure that tells you how much van you are starting with, not the figure your tow rating has to cover.

Is the tare figure the one my car's tow rating has to cover?

No. Tare is the van empty. ATM is the most it may legally weigh once you have loaded water, gas, food, clothes and gear, and ATM is the number your car's braked towing capacity must cover. Every van on this page has an ATM above its tare, and the published ATMs here run from 2,390kg to 4,500kg. Your car's GCM and its own payload can cut the real limit further once passengers and gear are aboard, so run your exact vehicle through the tow calculator rather than reading the tare as a tow figure.

What is the lightest caravan with a washing machine?

In our catalogue, the Highclere Caravans Runaway 15'6 at 1,730kg tare, on a published ATM of 2,500kg. It is on-road tourer and sleeps null. Lightest is not the same as best suited to you: check the payload, the layout and the ATM against your car before the tare figure decides anything.

What do caravans with a washing machine cost?

Published starting prices run from $54,990 to $278,000. 88 ranges are price on application, so those need a dealer quote. These are manufacturer base-spec "from" figures before options and on-road costs, so use them to compare, then get a drive-away quote on the one you want.

What kinds of van are these?

They split as: full off-road (113), on-road tourer (91), semi off-road (38), hybrid (17), pop-top (1), camper trailer (1), motorhome (1). 75 of them sleep four or more. Fitting a washing machine means the floorplan works hard, so the layout is worth walking through in person rather than judging off a plan drawing.

Will a mid-size SUV tow one of these?

It depends on the specific car and the specific van, and we never say a named car can tow a named van, because it turns on how both are loaded. Three numbers decide it: your car's braked towing capacity against the van's ATM, your car's towball download limit against the van's ball weight, and your GCM against the two of them together with everyone and everything aboard. Across the vans on this page the published ATMs run from 2,390kg to 4,500kg. Put your exact vehicle into the tow calculator and it does that arithmetic for you.

Why is a particular caravan not on this page?

A range appears here when it has a washing machine and a published tare. Anything that does not meet both parts of that rule is not listed. That is a rule about how this page is built, not a statement about any caravan. If you are chasing a specific model, the browse page carries the full catalogue with its own filters.
