Tosbiq 260: compact mini caravan with smart layout for three people
The Tosbiq 260 is a Turkish mini-caravan with a body length of 2.60 metres. Despite its compact size, this lightweight caravan sleeps three and features a complete kitchen, toilet, diesel heating, and a battery system with a solar panel. Reason enough to take a closer look at this cute little caravan. That is exactly what we did this summer at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf.
What kind of caravan is the Tosbiq 260?
The Tosbiq 260 is one of the neat mini-caravans that caught our eye at the end of August at the camping trade fair in Düsseldorf. And it wasn’t just its cute looks that won us over. The Turkish-built caravan features a remarkably efficient layout. At the rear of the Tosbiq 260, you’ll find a seating area that converts into a double bed measuring 195 by 130 centimetres. Camping with a child? You can easily fold out an extra bed measuring 195 by 60 centimetres above the seating area. This upper bunk is suitable for a camper weighing up to 40 kg.
What amenities does the Tosbiq 260 have?
It’s not just about the beds, though. At the front of the Tosbiq 260, you’ll find a surprisingly well-equipped kitchen. It features an induction hob, sink, and a 12V fridge with a freezer compartment. Next to the kitchen, there is an enclosed washroom with a Porta Potti and a washbasin. There is no indoor shower inside the caravan. You can shower outdoors using the standard-equipped external shower or, of course, in the campsite’s facilities block.
On-site or off-grid?
With the Tosbiq, you can do both. The caravan features GRP sandwich construction with insulation. For off-grid adventures away from mains electricity, it comes equipped with a diesel heater, a solar panel with a battery system, and a fresh water tank with a water pump. Alternatively, you can simply connect it to the campsite’s mains power supply.
A nice bonus: the Tosbiq 260 offers plenty of customisation options. You can choose from various exterior colours, wood finishes, and upholstery options, allowing you to give this little caravan a personality all of its own.
Where can you see and buy the Tosbiq 260?
We checked out the Tosbiq 260 this past summer at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. At present, there is no official dealer in the Netherlands selling the brand. German website Promobil reports that the Tosbiq 260 has a starting price of 17,999 euros in Germany.
