Description

Australias recreational vehicle ownership surged by 27% since 2019, with over 900,000 registered by 2024. Jason Plant from the Caravan Trade and Industries Association of Queensland advises considering your preferred travel style and tow vehicle capacity. Caravan tow weights range from 900kg to 4.5 tonnes, while camper trailers weigh between 500kg to 2.5 tonnes. Prices vary widely, from $6,800 to $500,000. Scott Jones from Jayco recommends caravans for families, camper trailers for budget travel, campervans for solo adventurers, and motorhomes for maximum convenience. Michael Paidoussis from Crusader Caravans suggests renting an RV first to understand its practicality. Always ensure your vehicle has the right braking system and suspension, and dont forget about registration, insurance, and regular servicing.
