By "Caravan" I suppose you mean road going Van???
Well it is possible & depending on the vans design & it's construction is how much damage you may do to it. The general run of the mill van often hasn't got suitable
suspension, stone protection or tyres. Road conditions change regually depending on when the
grader has gone through & how much local rain they get. I'd suggest looking under your van for it's rough road suitability & checking current conditions just prior to leaving.

PROTECT THE UNDERSIDE AND FRONT OF THE VAN FROM STONE DAMAGE.
1. Make sure you have a bash plate on your
water tank.
2. Ensure all underside wiring/plumbing is out of the way of potential
rock strike or protected.
3. Protect the rear window of your vehicle from rocks bouncing off the van front.
We travelled it a few years backand got a lot of damage..so lesson learned.
