Built in Turkey, the Micro 240 drew attention at Caravan Salon 2026 in Düsseldorf with three beds, a kitchen and a bathroom packed into a compact caravan. Its layout shows how much can fit into a small space.
While many caravans on European roads are large, the Micro 240 takes the opposite approach. Imported from Ankaravan by AnkerCaravan Berlin, it is 2.4 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2.45 meters high. Despite its size, it is certified for the European market, with standing room and enough comfort for travel.
The Micro 240’s total length, including the drawbar, is approximately 3.9 meters, significantly longer than the body alone.
With an empty weight of 440 kg and a maximum weight of 750 kg, the Micro 240 is light enough for many compact cars to tow. Its chassis is made from hot-dip galvanized steel, and the frame is aluminum. The hand-built fiberglass body is 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 kitchen has a two-burner electric cooktop and a stainless steel sink, with a compact fridge alongside them. Tucked into the driver’s-side corner, the bathroom has a portable toilet and shower, plus usable storage, a rare feature in a caravan this size. The rear dining area converts into a double bed. 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). Upgrades include solar panels and diesel heating, along with larger fridges, air conditioning, lithium batteries and a cassette toilet with hot water. Even the Standard comes with scratch-resistant glass windows fitted with blinds and mosquito nets. It also has four AL-KO stabilizers and a 55-liter fresh water tank. The Full Package adds solar power and better insulation, while Premium and Ultra offer more home-like comforts.
Industry sources describe the Micro 240 as a European adaptation of the Turkish Micro 2.4 model, not a standalone European startup. ANKER Caravan Berlin imports and certifies it for the EU market. That arrangement lets the caravan sell at a starting price significantly below those of typical European competitors, though the entry-level version is intentionally basic to keep costs low.
The basic version is aimed at couples seeking simplicity and self-sufficiency. Families and buyers looking for more comfort can choose higher trims, which add touches of luxury to a caravan smaller than many garden sheds. Its modular design lets buyers choose what matters to them, whether they plan to camp off-grid or stay at full-service sites.
The Micro 240’s size draws attention, but its purpose matters too. AnkerCaravan Berlin’s decision to import and adapt the Turkish Micro 2.4 for Europe reflects growing interest in microcamping. Each unit arrives fully equipped, with extras such as solar panels and heating, and meets EU regulations before reaching customers.
In a market where bigger has usually meant better, the Micro 240 is aimed at travelers whose habits are changing. Compact, efficient vehicles are gaining popularity. The turbocharged Citroën C15, for example, recently made headlines for a long-distance lead, suggesting more European travelers are willing to trade size for agility and lower costs.
The Micro 240 pairs a compact footprint with a bathroom and flexible sleeping options, backed by a solid build. Designed for European roads and city parking, it offers travelers a practical, minimalist option.
The caravan’s future depends on whether travelers are ready to accept the trade-offs of micro-living. Its debut at Caravan Salon 2026 comes as the industry faces pressure to innovate. It presents an alternative to the usual oversized caravan.
