Happy New Caravan Of The Year!

In October 2025, something happened that we are incredibly proud of: our GetAway (the trendsetting, lightweight pop-top caravan) was named ANWB Caravan Of The Year 2026 by an expert jury. A title like that is not celebrated quietly. That is why we are introducing a time-limited, limited-availability, and extra fully equipped limited edition: the GetAway Trophy.

A Very Complete Base – With Even More Extras

The GetAway Trophy is based on our much-loved Sport model. And anyone who knows the Sport will tell you: it is already remarkably well equipped. With the Trophy, we take it a significant step further. We created this edition for campers who do not want to compare endlessly, but prefer to choose quickly for a compact, innovative, lightweight pop-top caravan that is simply “done”.

What Comes Standard On The Trophy

Even without the promotional package, the Trophy is richly equipped. Think, among other things, of:

• Underfloor heating for extra comfort in every season
• Lightweight body and furniture construction (signature GetAway)
• Front left and front right storage hatches for practical access
• Fixed toilet
• Awning light and a 27-litre fresh water tank
• And of course our favourite 4-in-1 king-size bed (2.15 x 1.70 m), usable as a lounge, dinette, king-size bed, or two single beds.

The kitchen is spacious and well appointed, with a large sink and a 3-burner hob. The Trophy also features a 92-litre compressor fridge with a removable freezer compartment, a flyscreen door, combi blinds, indirect ambient lighting, and dimmable LED lights in the pop-top.

Promotional Package With Over €3,000 Anniversary Benefit

For this limited edition, we add an exceptionally extensive promotional package, delivering an anniversary benefit of over €3,000. This also makes the Trophy a very attractive alternative for anyone deciding between the Sport and the Xcite.

The promotional package includes, among other things:

• 17-inch alloy wheels
• Stabiliser coupling
• High entrance door with window and integrated bin
• Automatic night lighting
• Hot water boiler
• Portable ceramic heater
• Kitchen organiser
• 3-speed fan with timer function

Recognisable Outside, Perfectly Matched Inside

You will recognise the Trophy immediately by its exclusive blue metallic accents. The intermediate canvas with panoramic windows comes in a stylish sand colour—also reflected in the standard supplied Karsten Touring awning with removable side walls. Inside, everything ties together beautifully with the blue Cobalto upholstery, giving the whole caravan a fresh, premium look and feel.

Promotional Price: € 34,995

For a promotional price of € 34,995, the GetAway Trophy offers an exceptionally complete, innovative lightweight caravan that—together with the Karsten Touring awning—is perfect for campers who want to combine comfort, style, and freedom.

For more details, visit our product page and our dealers. Using our dealer locator, you can find your nearest dealer and up-to-date contact details in just a few clicks. Plan a visit or appointment, as the GetAway Trophy is available for a limited time and in limited numbers.

We are incredibly proud to announce that our GetAway has been named ANWB Caravan of the Year 2026! During the Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, TV presenter Sander Janson presented us with this prestigious award. A unique moment: it has been more than 20 years since a Dutch caravan manufacturer last won this title.

Why the jury chose the GetAway

The jury praised the GetAway for its low weight, aerodynamic design, and smart layout. Despite its compact exterior dimensions, our GetAway offers a surprisingly spacious interior with plenty of comfort and practical details:

• Easy access and generous headroom
• Multifunctional solutions and panoramic views through the pop-up roof
• Lounge option and a spacious bed of 2.15 x 1.70 m
• Smart choice of materials and ultra-lightweight construction

With the GetAway you experience freedom, comfort and innovation all in one.

Discover the award winner yourself!

Curious why the jury awarded the GetAway? Come and see it with your own eyes at the Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs 2025 in Utrecht. You can find us together with Karsten Tenten in Hall 10, Stand C016. Our team is ready to welcome you, answer all your questions, and let you experience for yourself just how special the GetAway is.

The wait is nearly over! From 29 August to 7 September, the world’s largest caravan and motorhome show takes place in Düsseldorf. With 750 exhibitors across 16 halls and more than 250,000 visitors, it’s the ultimate event for anyone who loves camping and the great outdoors.

At Easy Caravanning, we’re already busy preparing everything behind the scenes. Curious about what we’ll be showcasing this year? We’re excited to give you a glimpse of what’s coming.

A special first: both models together in Germany

This edition of the Caravan Salon is extra special for us. For the first time, both the TakeOff and the GetAway will be on display in Germany. Two innovative camping concepts, each with its own character, presented side by side to a large international audience. And there’s more: the GetAway Active, the entry-level model in the GetAway range, will also be shown live at a show for the very first time. In short, two premieres in one place!

Visit us in Hall 10, stand C55

Both the TakeOff and the GetAway are designed for modern campers who value convenience, style and flexibility. No wonder they feel perfectly at home at an event like the Caravan Salon!

You’ll find us in Hall 10, stand C55. Take your time to explore, ask any questions you may have and let our team walk you through all the options and features of our models.

Next stop: the Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs in Utrecht

Can’t make it to Düsseldorf? From 1 to 5 October, we’ll also be at the Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, together with Karsten Tenten. Just like last year, we’re teaming up to bring you an even better experience and give you a complete impression of the TakeOff and GetAway, along with the clever tent solutions Karsten Tenten has developed especially for our models.

It’s a great opportunity to see how our caravans and Karsten Tenten’s tent solutions fit together seamlessly.

We hope to see you at the shows

Whether you’re visiting us in Düsseldorf or Utrecht, we’d love to show you our smart camping solutions. Already familiar with Easy Caravanning or meeting us for the first time? You’re very welcome to stop by our stand and discover how our models can make your camping adventure even more comfortable and fun!

As a caravanner, you know better than anyone: good preparation is half the battle. You want to hit the road with peace of mind, avoid surprises along the way, and make sure everything goes smoothly once you arrive. That’s exactly why Easy Caravanning has chosen to integrate the E-Trailer system as standard in the Xcite versions of the TakeOff and GetAway. It perfectly aligns with our vision of smart and carefree camping. And here’s the good news: the system can also be easily retrofitted to all versions of the TakeOff and GetAway.

Smart technology in a handy app

Through a user-friendly and clear app on your smartphone, you’ll have direct access to practical data about your TakeOff or GetAway—such as tyre pressure, battery status (if an onboard battery is installed), or the water level in the GetAway’s tank. Not only useful during your trip, but also when you’ve just arrived and want to level your setup precisely.

Customise your system your way

The E-Trailer system consists of physical sensors and modules mounted to your TakeOff or GetAway. A variety of modules are available, and they can easily be added as needed:

• E-Pressure: Monitors tyre pressure and alerts you of irregularities
• E-Waterlevel: Displays the water level of the fresh water tank
• E-Temperature: Measures indoor temperature and optionally the temperature in the fridge
• E-Switch: Provides additional alarm security, e.g. for the entrance door
• E-Gaslevel: Keeps track of the contents of your gas cylinder
• E-Volt: Monitors the condition of the onboard battery
• E-Load: Shows the current nose weight
• E-Movement: Sends an instant alarm if movement is detected in your TakeOff or GetAway

Travel safer and with less worry

Whether you’re driving an electric vehicle or another type of tow car, the E-Trailer system helps you travel more safely and consciously. You’ll always have a clear view of your TakeOff or GetAway’s status and can respond quickly to any changes. Everything you need is right there in your app. Your holiday starts in a relaxed way—even before you leave your driveway.

The TakeOff and GetAway are specifically designed for adventurous campers. That’s why they are especially popular among “frequent travellers” who love exploring countries or regions on the move. Thanks to their low weight, compact travel dimensions and aerodynamic design, they offer outstanding driving characteristics—allowing you to reach places you’d normally avoid with a standard caravan or motorhome. Being well-prepared is essential, so in this blog we explain a few important topics.

One-Pedal Drive

Many electric and hybrid cars are now equipped with a so-called one-pedal drive system. This allows you to both accelerate and decelerate with just the accelerator pedal. When you release the pedal, the electric motors are used to slow the vehicle down, and the resulting energy is regenerated into the battery—helping to increase the vehicle’s range.
However, we strongly advise switching this function off when towing a TakeOff or GetAway. If not, it can lead to overheated and damaged brakes. While one-pedal driving may feel convenient, it doesn’t work as intended when towing. Every time you lift your foot off the pedal, the car slows down and activates the overrun brake.

Overrun Brake

In Europe, almost all trailers and caravans use an overrun brake. On the AL-KO chassis, this system ensures that when the tow car brakes, the TakeOff or GetAway also slows down. A sliding mechanism in the tow hitch compresses, pulling a brake rod. This rod is connected to brake cables, which pull the brake shoes against the drums.

To prevent the brake from engaging with light deceleration or pedal release, a damper (similar to a shock absorber) is installed.
You can imagine that reversing also causes the car to push against the trailer and potentially activates the brake. To avoid this, a reverse mechanism is built into the brake drums. This mechanism reduces the pressure of the brake shoes when the drum turns backwards, allowing the trailer to reverse even with the sliding element compressed.

Mountain Driving

The overrun brake also has limitations when driving in the mountains. If you descend a steep hill at constant speed using engine braking, the trailer pushes against the car—activating the brakes constantly. This, like with one-pedal driving, can lead to overheated brakes.
To avoid this, the trailer brakes should never remain engaged for extended periods. It’s better to brake harder for a short time than to apply continuous light braking. As a rule of thumb, descend at the same speed as you would drive uphill. On long, steep descents, take breaks to allow the brakes to cool down. The overrun brake will reset itself once you begin driving again.

At Easy Caravanning, we strive to make camping smarter, lighter, and more comfortable. The new GetAway perfectly demonstrates how far you can go in achieving that. Besides an aerodynamic design and compact dimensions on the road, the GetAway is also a true innovator in materials and construction. In this article, we’d like to show you the choices we made and why. Time for a look behind the scenes!

This is how the GetAway is built

The GetAway is available in three versions: the Active, Sport, and Xcite, with an unladen weight of approximately 680, 725, and 745 kilograms respectively. Combined with a 1000 kg axle, the GetAway offers ample payload capacity for all your gear. This balance between low weight and generous payload is truly trendsetting in the segment of compact pop-top caravans. That performance is largely due to the smart way the GetAway is constructed.

While many manufacturers still use solid wooden panels, Easy Caravanning opts for lightweight sandwich panels in the furniture modules. These panels are not only significantly lighter but also much more rigid. The result is a solid interior that weighs surprisingly little.

The specially developed panel connectors are clearly visible here: they create a strong yet lightweight connection between the sandwich panels.

For the furniture tops and the tabletop, specially developed panels are used that are injected with polyurethane. During production, so-called inserts are integrated into these, allowing for easy and secure assembly. The result is a tabletop you can literally lift with just two fingers. The surface is finished with high-quality HPL material with an anti-fingerprint coating.

In the caravan industry, lightweight constructions like these are often more expensive than conventional wooden solutions, which is why they are still rarely used. However, the advantages far outweigh the costs: not only is the weight lower, but durability and overall quality are significantly improved as well.

In addition to the furniture, the floor and sidewalls of the GetAway are also constructed using an innovative method. Here too, we have managed to significantly reduce the overall weight.Unlike most caravans and motorhomes, the GetAway is built without using any wood in its structure. Instead, its sandwich panels are made from various high-grade foams with different densities. Some of these foams are so strong that screws can be fastened directly into them. In addition to their low weight, our sandwich panels offer several other advantages:

• Virtually no thermal bridges occur, unlike with traditional caravan walls built on wooden frames
• The walls and floor are highly resistant to moisture penetration

Smart solutions, down to the smallest detail

The exterior wall panels are made from an alternative aluminum cladding with a higher percentage of magnesium in the alloy. This makes the material not only stiffer but also lighter. Around the roof opening, open storage compartments have been integrated that close automatically when the pop-up roof is shut. The wardrobe door serves a dual function and can also be used to close off the toilet area if desired. The Sport and Xcite models are also equipped with smart mobility solutions. For example, the Sport has a Continental smart repair kit on board. And the Xcite comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels with run-flat tires. This allows you to continue driving calmly at speeds up to 80 kilometers per hour even with a flat tire. No more dragging a spare wheel or jack, which also saves weight.

Perfect for electric and compact cars

With smart choices in construction and materials, we have managed to save kilograms wherever possible during the development of the GetAway. And that’s good news for anyone driving an electric or compact car. Less weight means less consumption and more driving comfort. This is how we make camping future-proof, without compromising on quality or ease of use.

ANWB KCK-test

Last October, the Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs in Utrecht was the stage for the official launch of the GetAway. We couldn’t have wished for a better start! From the very first moment, the GetAway was warmly received. Visitors explored it with curiosity, asked questions, and the first orders were placed right there on the exhibition floor. After the show, we got to work immediately – processing orders, sourcing components, and adjusting the production line. At times, things went a little differently than planned, but we stayed on course and began production of the GetAway in March.

Now, we are proud to announce that the GetAway is shining in the showrooms of our dealers!
