Best advice I was given by an experienced caravanner was to get a 4 berth even though there are only two of us and the dogs, his advice was very helpful.

4 berths seem to resell easier and have a better resale value the also have more space so I guess if you are used to a tent some of which can be huge, moving to a caravan could be space restrictive a 4 berth will be less so than a 2 berth.
