Can an EV tow a small caravan?

Yes, a Tesla Model Y Can Tow Our Small Caravan – Here’s the Proof

When you think of towing a caravan, an electric vehicle might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But one experienced Aussie caravanner has just proven that it’s not only possible, it’s enjoyable.

After owning several caravans since the 1970s, this owner switched to a Tesla Model Y SR in 2024, thinking their caravanning days were over. That is, until they discovered our Fantasy Mystic 12F four-berth hybrid caravan, compact, lightweight, and perfectly matched to the Model Y’s towing capacity.

The setup

Tow vehicle: 2024 Tesla Model Y SR
Caravan: Fantasy Mystic 12F (approx. 1,050 kg tare, 1,500 kg ATM)
Modifications: Electronic brake controller, quick-connect safety chain clips, magnetic wireless reversing camera

The first big trip – 3,500 km
From Redland Bay to Sydney, Yass, Albury, Port Macquarie, and back, the Model Y towed the Mystic 12F with ease. The owner reported:

Stable towing with no sway or handling issues
Around 130–140 km range per charge while towing
Easy setup and pack-down thanks to quick-connect clips
Comfort and convenience from the Mystic 12F’s compact size and fixed bedding

Why this matters
This isn’t a polished advertisement, it’s a genuine owner’s experience. It proves that with the right caravan, even an EV can open the door to real travel adventures. And as charging infrastructure continues to expand, electric tow vehicles will only become more practical.
