Dodge Grand Caravan Camper (Chrysler Town and Country)
Big and comfy – at places too much (a fold-up TV isn’t really necessary or the table at the back in some models will have to be taken out most likely anyway). Quite expensive to run, harder to drive. On the other hand, it offers a lot of space and storage compartments, comfy seats and plenty of USB and 220V power outlets. If you don’t mind the high consumption and are looking for comfort during long rides, this is a good choice.
Although Chrysler Town and Country is a different car by name, they are very similar and only differ marginally in terms of size. The biggest difference is in their styling – outside and inside, but nothing that would make a huge difference in terms of camping.
This car’s boot is 230 cm long ⤢, 115 cm tall ↕, and 125 cm wide ↔.

*A note about the dimensions – no specific measurements are available online, so I’m using Grand Voyager’s dimensions as the cars are almost identical in size.
- ADAC Rating (lower = better) 3/5 (for Chrysler Grand Voyager)
Useful review: Carbuzz.com – 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan
It’s very similar to Chrysler’s Grand Voyager – but according to Carsdirect.com – the Dodge Grand Caravan is a bit more spacious.
