Six Australian made RVs our experts rate
Most Aussie Rvers want to support local manufacturers, and there are plenty to choose from. Here are some of the best local buys for those considering an Aussie RV purchase.
Hybrid Karavan Classic by Kimberley Kampers
For easy driving and campsite comfort, this hybrid offers road trippers the best of both worlds. Designed and constructed with Australian conditions in mind, it’s great for both off-grid and main trunk lines. The interior has cleverly designed, luxurious fittings and furniture that slide and expand the living and sleeping space (for up to six people). Bike racks can be mounted on the outside, as well as extra storage if needed. A large lithium battery bank means that travellers can be off-grid for extended periods of time.

Galaxy 4.8 by On the Move Caravans
On The Move Caravans started manufacturing in January 2001. After 25 years in the business, it’s honed its craft. The Galaxy 4.8 is a new model, released in April 2025. It comes with a five-year chassis warranty, three-year construction warranty, and the included appliances come with original manufacturer warranties, generally 12 months. This is the smallest of On The Move’s touring vans – specifically designed for caravan parks, rather than rough roads. A hatch opening near the dining table brings the outside in, making it feel even bigger.

Solitaire Hybrid by Offline Campers
Slightly larger than its previous models, the Solitaire Hybrid trailer could comfortably take you either across the Simpson Desert or all the way to Cape York. One of the Solitaire’s key features is the compact kitchen and storage design; everything is right where you need it, whether you choose gas or induction cooking. There’s also enough space for a family of five. Windows behind and beside the bed give a feeling of space and a nice view, making this a camper trailer that feels like a caravan. The toilet slides out easily, and there’s space to shower without crouching.

Manta Ray Expedition by New Age Caravans
Built in Victoria, the Manta Ray has a rear camera, tinted, flat profile windows and a modern look. Despite this being New Age’s smallest van, interior space has been maximised; a washing machine comes as part of a standard setup, there’s a separate toilet and shower in the ensuite, and fittings are all high-quality materials, similar to what you see in a luxury home. The Manta Ray is excellent for couples or solo travellers.
Price: $90,490
Base Camp X by Supreme Caravans
With almost 40 years of experience building caravans for Australian families, this company designs and creates quality vans for rugged conditions. It has dealers and service centres across the country and a three-year structural warranty on all builds. The Base Camp X sleeps up to six people and has space for all of your on-the-road toys. Motorcycles or bikes can be strapped into the van’s ‘garage’ and loaded via easy-to-use ramps. The interior of the van is modern, sleek and functional, and the battery and water systems can accommodate all of a family’s needs.

Silverton by Avida
Avida Motorhomes and Caravans have been Australian-owned and family-run since 1965. This mid‑sized motorhome has a layout of around 6.9 metres. The interiors transform to create extra living space when you’re at a campsite and are designed to suit a range of uses – whether you’re working on a laptop, eating at the table or relaxing on the lounge. The motorhome has a full rear ensuite with a porcelain sink, and the bathroom has windows for natural light. With a 420W solar system (upgradeable to 820W) and lithium batteries expandable to 300Ah, this RV has plenty of available power for long off-grid stays.
