Who the Gobur Carousel 12/2 S suits
Who it suits
- Couples wanting a two-berth caravan with a folding format and a low recorded height of 1.45 m.
- Buyers whose priorities include manageable towing dimensions, a 1,000 kg MTPLM and a 220 kg payload.
- Those who prefer an end kitchen, front lounge and side washroom rather than a fixed-bed layout.
Reasons to consider it
- The folding construction gives the Carousel 12/2 S a recorded height of 1.45 m, which may help buyers considering storage and towing clearance.
- Its recorded 1,000 kg MTPLM and two-berth capacity make it a relatively lightweight option within the supplied alternatives.
- The supplied editorial identifies insulated solid walls, rather than canvas sides, and describes a gas-strut-assisted folding mechanism.
- The end kitchen and side washroom provide facilities within a compact two-berth layout.
What to check
- Check that the tow car is suitable for the actual 1,000 kg MTPLM and that the loaded caravan remains within its permitted limits.
- Measure the intended storage space against the recorded 5.18 m length, 2.08 m width and 1.45 m height, allowing for access and manoeuvring.
- Inspect the folding mechanism and confirm that the solid walls fold, latch and seal correctly.
- Verify the condition and operation of the kitchen equipment, cassette toilet, vanity, lockers and under-seat storage.
- Confirm the available payload of 220 kg against the equipment and personal items you intend to carry.
Worth knowing: A folding caravan requires setup and folding at each stop, according to the supplied editorial. The supplied editorial notes less internal storage than a full-height caravan and no fixed-bed option. Equipment and specification may vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

Gobur Carousel 12/2 S ownership checks
- Plan loading around the recorded 220 kg payload, including equipment, water and personal items, rather than treating the payload as spare storage capacity.
- Use the recorded 5.18 m length and 2.08 m width when checking storage, pitch access and manoeuvring space.
- Check the folding sequence before departure and ensure the walls and roof are fully secured for travel, as the folding format is central to this caravan's operation.
- Use the front lounge conversion as intended for the two-berth arrangement, since the supplied editorial states that the model has no fixed bed.
- Keep heavier items positioned in accordance with the caravan's loading guidance and verify the actual laden weight where possible.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the 1.45 m recorded height removes the need to check the complete towing and storage route.
- Using the 220 kg payload without allowing for fitted or carried equipment.
- Treating the front lounge as a fixed bed when the supplied layout converts the lounge into sleeping accommodation.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not provide a maintenance schedule or identify model-specific faults. Actual loading guidance and equipment should be confirmed from the individual caravan's documents.
