Compact Portable keyboards

Hi everybody, I'm hoping that someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
My wife has been learning to play piano at home on Kawai electric piano. However in the near future we will be travelling around Australia in our motorhome for 18 months, & would like to get a portable keyboard to allow my wife to continue her learning/practice whislt we are away.
The maximum size for a keyboard that our storage facilities will allow is only 890mm x 300mm x 100mm. This limits us to keyboards with just 49 keys as far as I can tell.
We don't need something with all sorts of 'lights, bells & whistles', just a competent, decent sounding keyboard, but with velocity sensitive keys. Ability to be powered from a 12v source would be a bonus.
So far the only keyboard I've found that will fit within our dimensional limits is a Casio CTK 230. This doesn't have the velocity sensitive keys though (as far as I can tell from my internet 'research') & is probably cheap & nasty at Aus$129.???
I would very much welcome *any* suggestions as to what other brands/ models we should look at. We are prepared to pay for reasonable quality Regards Cuppa

I've never seen a 49 key keyboard with touch sensitivity. The smallest is usually 61. The Yamaha's are about 37 inches wide, that's a little over 900 mm.
