The Micro 240, unveiled at Caravan Salon 2026, squeezes three beds, a kitchen, and a full bathroom into a caravan under 2.5 meters long. Designed for European roads, it challenges what’s possible in microcamping and mobile living.
Three beds, a kitchen, and a bathroom—all inside a caravan shorter than most city cars. That’s the Micro 240: a Turkish-built microcaravan that drew plenty of attention at Caravan Salon 2026 in Düsseldorf for showing just how much can fit into a tiny space.
Most caravans on European roads are big, but the Micro 240 takes the opposite approach. Imported by AnkerCaravan Berlin from Ankaravan, it’s just 2.4 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2.45 meters high. Despite its size, it’s certified for the European market and still offers standing room and enough comfort for real travel.
The total length of the Micro 240, including the drawbar, is approximately 3.9 meters—significantly longer than the body alone.
With an empty weight of 440 kg and a maximum of 750 kg, the Micro 240 is light enough for many compact cars to tow. Its hot-dip galvanized steel chassis and aluminum frame, along with a hand-built fiberglass body, are designed for durability and to meet strict European standards. The result feels more like a well-made tool than a weekend toy.
Inside, every bit of space is used. The front has a small kitchen with a two-burner electric cooktop, stainless steel sink, and a compact fridge. The bathroom, tucked into the driver’s side corner, includes a portable toilet, shower, and actual storage—rare in a caravan this size. The rear dining area converts to a double bed, and the three-bed version adds a fold-down bunk for a child or extra gear.
There are four versions: Standard (from €10,000), Full Package (€14,000), Premium (€15,500), and Ultra (€16,000). Each upgrade adds features like solar panels, diesel heating, bigger fridges, air conditioning, lithium batteries, and a cassette toilet with hot water. Even the Standard comes with scratch-resistant glass windows (with blinds and mosquito nets), four AL-KO stabilizers, and a 55-liter fresh water tank. The Full Package adds solar power and better insulation, while Premium and Ultra bring more home-like comforts.
According to several industry sources, the Micro 240 is not a standalone European startup but a European adaptation of the Turkish Micro 2.4 model, imported and certified for the EU market by ANKER Caravan Berlin. This approach allows the caravan to be offered at a starting price significantly below typical European competitors, though buyers should be aware that the entry-level version is intentionally basic to keep costs low.
The basic version is aimed at couples who want simplicity and self-sufficiency. Families or anyone wanting more comfort can choose higher trims, which add surprising touches of luxury for something smaller than many garden sheds. The modular design lets buyers pick what matters most, whether they plan to camp off-grid or stay at full-service sites.
While the Micro 240’s size is what gets attention, the bigger story is its intent. AnkerCaravan Berlin’s move to import and adapt the Turkish Micro 2.4 for Europe shows that manufacturers are starting to take microcamping seriously. Each unit is delivered fully equipped, with extras like solar panels and heating, and meets EU regulations before reaching customers.
In a market where bigger has usually meant better, the Micro 240 is a bet on changing travel habits. The popularity of compact, efficient vehicles—like the turbocharged Citroën C15 that recently made headlines for a long-distance drive—suggests that more European travelers are willing to trade size for agility and lower costs.
What makes the Micro 240 stand out isn’t just its footprint, but that it doesn’t skip the basics. It has a real bathroom, flexible sleeping options, and a solid build, making it more than a novelty. It’s designed for European roads, city parking, and travelers who want a practical, minimalist way to get around.
The Micro 240 arrives at a time when the caravan industry is under pressure to innovate. Its future depends on whether travelers are ready to accept the trade-offs of micro-living, but its debut at Caravan Salon 2026 shows that compact, clever design is gaining ground. For anyone rethinking what’s really needed on the road, the Micro 240 is a straightforward alternative to the usual oversized caravan.
