In a tribute released via Hampshire Police, Christopher and Kayleigh’s family said: “Chris and Kayleigh were much loved by everyone who knew them - vibrant, kind and devoted to their family.
“Their loss has left an immeasurable void in the lives of all who loved them.”
A GoFundMe page set up to support the family has raised more than £30,000.
The inquests into their deaths were opened at Winchester Coroners Court on Monday, January 5, by area coroner Nicholas Walker.
Paramedics were called to the scene, but there were no life-saving opportunities.
The court heard that gas heating was found in the privately owned caravan.
According to the coroner, the preliminary cause of death has been given as carbon monoxide toxicity.
He adjourned the inquests until July 22, 2026.
