Well you can have a caravan and 1 Charisma if you just use Mentats to buy the caravan. You need Charisma for a brahmin.

Other than that, yes brahmin is better as just portable storage, except that caravan is lockable.

Right. Just like unlimited Buggies, Highwaymen, Scouts, etc... The caravan cart is technically a car.

makes me want to fill tent up with caravans, just need the patience to collect caps and catch brahmin  :).

Sure you could buy brahmin but i prefer to rope them for the heck of it.

You can either tame the brahmin or buy them from a "brahmin herdsman", near brahmin pens in cities such as NCR. You need at least 3 Charisma to buy/tame the brahmin.

The caravans can be bought by:
Quote from: Wiki
You can buy carts from Paul in NCR (in the bazaar, where your car would park in the fallout 2 game). Talk to him with enough caps in your inventory and one brahmin (to pull the cart) following you and you'll be able to buy a cart. The cart will spawn right after that behind Paul's shop, and you'll have a key in your inventory. Be careful of players near by that might try to steal your key or lockpick  your caravan cart and vanish into the wasteland.

Alternatively you can go to Junktown and talk to John Boy to buy or sell a cart. John Boy is located left of Darkwaters General Store.

Its not just brahmins, all NPCs can carry a lot.

Caravans have one big advantage and that is, they can be accessed by several characters, not just 1

Also, the biggest caravan advantage is the outdoorsman.  It doesn't increase travel speed, but it has the outdoorsman of a car so you won't hit very many encounters.  Also, as the above poster said, brahmins, mercs and slaves are all the same.  They do have a lower carry weight, but you can load them past it.  They just become encumbered.  It doesn't matter much with the cow though because they can't run to begin with, but your mercs and slaves won't be able to run after loaded past the limit.
