In order for caravans to be popular...they need to sell a lot.
To sell a lot, there should be lot of buyers, but as of now, the common man does not have that kind of money to splurge on caravans....

And the idea of driving on our roads from one end of the country isnt exactly appealing now is it? It works in America because of their excellent road connectivity, good quality caravans, and their lifestyle is such that they want everything big....including their cars, so they probably dont mind paying even if the price maybe high.

But in India, people think more practically, every penny saved is a penny earned. Good infrastructure, higher per capita income and something which is not based on a tempo chassis, dedicated caravans like in the US and not something which is adapted are steps towards caravans. But i dont think caravans can really be a success in our country.
My 2 cents.
