Any reputable caravan workshop can service your Go-Pod, however we recommend going to your local Go-Pod dealer because they will have more specialised knowledge of the Go-Pods and will be able to acquire replacement components for repairs if necessary. A standard service comprises inspecting the critical safety components (chassis, hitch and brakes), as well as the electrical and gas systems.

Owners of Go-Pods most frequently employ the Campingaz 907. In Europe, they are generally accessible, and the majority of petrol stations, camping supply stores and caravan dealerships are stockists. Additionally, some owners utilise two ALU (small) 2.7kg bottles.

Tyre sizes and appropriate substitutes The standard tyre size for all Go-Pods is 175/70 R13 86N, including those with increased chassis ratings of 1000 kg. 175/70 R13 82T is a good substitute for Go-Pods with a 750 kg chassis rating. Pressure in tyres 35 psi tyres are used on Go-Pod trailers. Torque for wheel nuts The wheel nut torque for normal wheels is 65 lbs, and for alloy wheels, it is 95 lbs.

The Go-Pods are unusual in that they have a one-piece GRP fibreglass shell with no seams or joints. This keeps water out and extends the life of the caravan. A fibreglass maker uses a mould to create our proprietary shell design. The mould is filled with fibreglass and allowed to solidify. To create a custom-coloured shell that can be matched to any RAL paint code, paint can be blended with the fibreglass before it is put into the mould. We manufacture the Go-Pods' bodies in-house, starting with an AL-KO galvanised steel chassis. The shell is then attached to the chassis, and the interior of the Go-Pod is fitted. The interior of the Go-Pod is completely covered in a thick layer of insulation, which keeps the space cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Marine-grade plywood, which is water resistant and aids in preventing water infiltration from road water, is used to construct the floor (and subfloor). Using premium caravan sealant, the edges are tightly sealed. Strong plywood is used to make the interior furniture units, which come in three finishes. A variety of hues are available for the curtains and seating cloth.

Standard 50mm tow balls and 13 pin Euro socket electrical are required. This outlet can accommodate the Go-Pods 13-pin plug, which also charges the on-board leisure batteries and operates the fridge while in motion in addition to the towing lights. You can purchase an adaptor to convert the leads if your tow vehicle has twin electrics. You can use an adaptor if your automobile only has 7-pin electrics, but it will only operate the driving lights and won't supply electricity to anything else. You don't need an AL-KO tow bar, and other tow bars will fit just fine.

Wonderful question! A Go-Pod may be towed by most cars. They weigh only 540 kg at the factory standard, which is exceptionally light (in part due to the GRP fibreglass shell). A Go-Pod can be towed by any vehicle having a "braked towing allowance" of 750 kg or more. To determine your vehicle's towing capacity, please see the registration documentation or manual.

Go-Pods are incredibly adaptable and can be utilised without access to a 230v power source. They are as follows: Leisure battery, 12v, 85Ah. Dometic CRE50 compressor refrigerator with integrated recreational battery Webasto gas/230v heating system (when 230v electricity is not available, it will run from the gas bottle placed in the front gas locker). 2 burner gas stove. The 120W solar panel charges the leisure batteries.

We sell the Kampa Dometic Cross Air VW air beam awning alongside our Go-Pods in the UK. It is the appropriate height to complement the Go-Pods and doubles the useful living space in VW camper vans. Setup takes only minutes with air beam technology, and the total weight is substantially lower than with a standard awning that uses poles to construct a frame. Optional bedroom annexes that expand outwards from the awning without taking up any interior floor area are available online.

Go-Pods are small enough to fit in most standard-sized garages, allowing them to be stored at home and save money on storage fees. Because they are only 4.20m long and the size of a regular hatchback car, several customers store them in residential parking spaces and underground garages.

We have a diversified consumer base that is drawn to the Go-Pods for a variety of reasons. Many of our customers are upgrading from tent camping to RV camping. Many Go-Pod customers have downsized from bigger, traditional touring caravans because they like the simplicity and ease of use. The ability to store the Go-Pod at home is a prevalent aspect in those customers' decisions. Solo travellers who do not require the extra capacity of larger caravans. Caravan enthusiasts over the age of 60 who find it difficult to operate large caravans. Those who have modest engines and are unable to haul large caravans. Professionals with limited free time who enjoy the concept of going on adventures.

They most certainly can! The Go-Pods have 1.5 - 2cm of insulation and are quite good at maintaining a steady temperature. Webasto diesel heating and Webasto gas/230v heating systems are among the available heating alternatives.

Unlike typical caravans, which are manufactured with separate panels, the one-piece GRP fibreglass shell has no seams or connections. This implies that water penetration and damage are extremely unlikely. The GRP fibreglass shell is exceptionally lightweight, resulting in improved fuel economy and the ability to pull the Go-Pod with smaller vehicles. Because of the aerodynamic design of the body, there is less wind resistance. Because Go-Pods are compact, they are easy to store and fit within most ordinary garages. They have a seating section that converts to a double bed, conserving space and enabling for various combinations. Many of the components are available for operation without 230v electricity supply, allowing the Go-Pod to be used 'off-grid', saving money on camping plots and allowing the Go-Pod to reach regions that other caravans cannot. Customization possibilities include three furniture colours, numerous fabric options, and the ability to colour match the body to any RAL paint code. Go-Pods are significantly easier to operate and maintain than other caravans, requiring far less annual maintenance. There is a vibrant online community of Go-Pod owners from many nations. This is a tremendous resource, and owners are eager to offer advise and assistance to one another.
