Are they? As caravans are quite popular in Europe, I can't imagine we are missing something in a lighter caravan, so who do Americans have in theirs that makes the heavier?

    From a quick look at an store for caravans a bit back it seems like the American caravans are much longer and have expanding sides. Basically you would need a lorry permit in Europe to be allowed to pull one of those.

    Many of those are not really intended for travel, but as permanent housing. See also: Trailer Park.

    It was caravans in this style:

    So they don't really look like the ones that are intended to be left in place.

    The lightest of these you might be allowed to drive in Sweden with a standard license but most would require an extended license for heavy load at the least.
