Caravan review: Barefoot Forward

Go Barefoot have built a reputation for making compact caravans which ooze style and quality but can be towed by just about any car due to their diminutive size. Rob McCabe takes a closer look at the Cotswold manufacturer's latest model - the two-berth Barefoot Forward .

I’d like to try a weekend away to see how I got on with it, it’s a big step down from a TA with fixed bed and large shower room across the back. The Barefoot is a beautiful caravan. 👍😁

Thanks for a great review. I’m tempted and sent an email to Barefoot asking if they have an agent in France. Jo in The Pyrenees 🇫🇷

Super cute and outstanding craftsmenship! 😍😊

Just so you know. That bike rack brand is pronounced 'Tool-Lee'. I sell them at my bike shop. 😊
It would be nice if the Barefoot's dinette/bed had multiple configurations (twin and partial dinette, two twins, or all bed) like the NuCamp Tab 320. I like the fiberglass construction, though.

I was gobsmacked too, all that inside such a small caravan. I'm assuming you need to go down to the Cotswolds to see one?

[@waynereynolds7598]

For the money , a person would have to want one really bad. It is nice.

Molded fiberglass is always going to be pricier compared to 'stick and tins'. However, they last 50 years if taken care of. The US's Nucamp version is on sale right now for $36K US. It's hard to find newer used fiberglass travel trailers for that price.

Checked one out yesterday...... Looked cool, well build and well laid out...... $48K?...... nahhhhh

[@CaptureAVtube]

E35K! Havebthe manuafcturers been smoking crack? That is an insane price no matter how well finished it is. Totally barking and anyone who buys one at that price is barking too.

Not everyone is a skint member like you mate.

[@johnmulligan912]

Nice but 35k 😂

[@lweleven3423]

Obviously for the rich surely no normal human would pay 35k for a caravan , we are a little nuts in the UK , in the US
Poor people live in caravans , often referred to as trailer parks , in this country it’s a luxury and it’s cheaper to live in a flat than a caravan ,
