Go Pod caravans: models, layouts and current UK stock

Go-Pod is a specialist British manufacturer based in Southport, dedicated to the production of ultra-lightweight micro-caravans. These compact leisure vehicles are designed to offer a practical transition from tent camping to touring, defined by their signature one-piece GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) shell. This seamless construction is a core specialty of the brand, engineered specifically to eliminate joint-related water ingress and enhance structural longevity.

With a Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) of 750kg, Go-Pods are exceptionally versatile, allowing them to be towed by a wide range of small motor vehicles without the need for a B+E licence entitlement. Despite their small footprint, the interiors are built for year-round UK use, featuring full insulation, integrated kitchenettes, and flexible seating that converts into a double bed.

Their aerodynamic profile improves fuel efficiency and ensures easier storage, making them a practical choice for solo travellers and couples seeking effortless mobility.

Established in 2017, Go-Pod was developed through the technical expertise at Red Lion Caravans in Southport. The brand was founded to address a specific requirement in the British leisure market for low-maintenance, easy-to-tow micro-caravans that bypass the complexities often associated with larger touring vehicles. The founders’ objective was to provide a 'plug-and-play' solution compatible with modern small hatchbacks and hybrid cars, making caravanning accessible to a wider demographic of motorists.

A significant milestone in the brand's development was the perfection of the moulded one-piece GRP shell. This design choice was a direct response to industry-wide issues regarding panel leaks, providing owners with a durable, water-tight exterior. By maintaining a strict 750kg weight limit, Go-Pod has successfully established itself within a niche of enthusiasts who prioritising fuel economy and ease of manoeuvrability. Over the years, the manufacturer has refined its interior specifications based on owner feedback, resulting in a streamlined catalogue of models that maximise internal space. Today, Go-Pod remains a specialist UK manufacturer, recognised for its focus on simplicity, build quality, and accessibility for the modern camper.
