What fits in the Grand Caravan
Stow 'n Go seats fold into the floor with nothing to remove, leaving a flat cargo floor of about 140 cu ft - a full mattress fits. That is full-size cargo space: any tent, cooler or chair we list fits - nothing has to pack small.
The used market's cheapest way into a sleep-inside vehicle; the Chrysler Town & Country is the same van.
Sleeping inside the Grand Caravan
With the rear seats folded, the Dodge Grand Caravan sleeps two on the folded floor; the kit's tent takes the rest of the family.
- On the cargo floor: two of the kit's pads, or swap them for a 4-inch minivan air mattress that fills the floor.
- For regular trips, a low plywood platform makes it a real bed with storage underneath.
- Crack the rear windows behind Dodge Grand Caravan window rain guards and run a small fan to stop condensation.
Car camping in a Dodge Grand Caravan: common questions
Is the Dodge Grand Caravan good for car camping?
Yes. It has full-size cargo space, so a standard camping kit fits without a roof box. It sleeps two inside with the seats folded.
Can you sleep inside a Dodge Grand Caravan?
With the rear seats folded, yes: two adults fit on sleeping pads, diagonally if not straight.
