Whether you’ve just collected your Barefoot or you’re brushing up before a trip, these short videos walk through the basics of hitching up safely and getting back on the road.

Hitching and unhitching

Technical walkthrough from the UK team

The Barefoot UK team have also produced a more detailed look at the hitching process, including the running gear and stabiliser setup.

If you’re an Australian Barefoot owner and have questions about your specific tow setup or running gear, get in touch — we’re happy to help.

Cathy Chamberlain and the team at Barefoot Caravans UK have added two new models to the lineup for 2026: the Bothy, and now the Lite — a stripped-down, gas-free version of the original Barefoot Caravan for owners who want the same retro look and fibreglass build at a more accessible price.

What’s different on the Lite

The Lite is built around the same one-piece moulded fibreglass shell as the original Barefoot, with the same 10-year body shell guarantee. It keeps the things owners love most:

• The full retro-styled bathroom and wardrobe
• The U-shaped dinette that converts to a double bed
• Storage under every section of seating, plus overhead
• LED lighting, ceiling fan, and yes — the much-loved cocktail cabinet
• The same wide range of exterior colours and interior fabrics

What it leaves out is the gas — no gas cooktop, no gas heating. The kitchen block keeps a full sink with cover, oak or white acrylic counter, prep space, and under-counter storage for a portable induction burner or coolbox if you want one. It’s designed with touring in mind, and for owners who’d rather not pay for kitchen kit they won’t use.

Sizing

The Lite weighs in at 1,000 kg empty and is built on the same compact 5 m x 1.9 m footprint.

Autoevolution covered the launch in a feature titled “Barefoot Lite — The Most Beautiful Caravan on the Planet — Goes All Electric.” Worth a read for the full breakdown.
