SAFARI TAMER

The outback is calling.

Purpose built for off-road caravanning

Get off the beaten track! The Roadstar Safari Tamer is perfect for couples with a keen sense of adventure and a burning desire to get off the beaten track and see more of Australia the most people could imagine.  A true off-road caravan, the award-winning Safari Tamer has definitely earned its reputation with incredible attention to detail, meticulous fit and finish and so much more.

Built for safety as much as adventure, the Safari Tamer includes a fully insulated aluminium-clad frame, Sisalation® insulation in the ceiling, and comes with two spare tyres for any off-road emergencies. With galvanised under-floor sheeting and heavy duty galvanised terrain protection bars on its sides, this van can take whatever Australia can throw at it. The Safari Tamer also comes with rear skid and 4.0-tonne shackle anchor points, safety guards on the A-frame for stone protection, as well as front and rear-mounted adjustable LED lamps to provide light when setting up camp in the bush or in an emergency situation. The composite paneling and signature Roadstar decals also offer a modern touch of class to accompany this rugged and robust caravan.  The external entertainment hatch and speakers will allow you to enjoy a movie or sport on the TV in the alfresco setting of your choice – just choose a site to set the scene!

However, this tough unit has a much softer side. The modern plywood CNC architectural furniture is the height of contemporary design and innovation; the tri-fold table and new dual density comfort club lounge take pride of place in the interior. This is accompanied by a queen-size bedroom flooded with natural light, made possible by the extra-large, Euro-style double-glazed windows.  The kitchen is equipped with modern looking brand name appliances, soft close drawers and premium laminates.  Reverse cycle heating and cooling will keep you comfortable while you explore and the full range of entertainment options including the TV/DVD combo and Fusion entertainment system will keep you going in the event of rain.

The Dexter Torflex suspension on single axle caravans or the ALKO beam axle rocker suspension on tandem axle caravans, ensure a smooth and safe ride whilst you are on the road to your next destination. The Supagal chassis made from BHP Steel has been built by engineers with over 40 years of experience, to give you the peace of mind on the road that you deserve.

Caravan review: Fortitude Fortress 19

With ever more buyers looking to explore our backroads, tough caravans are in high demand. Luckily, most builders have a mix of dirt road-friendly models in their range.

Sunshine Coast dealer, Steve Tauzowski, from Brisbane RV in Burpengary, has taken a different path, though, and developed his own well-equipped brand with all the features experience tells him buyers will want.

Vans are built under contract by Safari Caravans in Melbourne to Brisbane RV specifications, and the result is a van that’s both competitively priced and unique to Tauzowski’s yard.

“Not everyone has a bucketload of cash to throw at a new van, but customers still want a capable rig that can tackle tough roads,” he told us.

Brisbane RV is a family owned business with an eye on customer service. They have many repeat buyers, and they count referrals from happy owners as a big part of their sales strategy.

Not only does Tauzowski design and sell vans, he is also a regular caravanner and travels with his family in their own Fortitude bunk van.

"Muted grey tones over the white walls give a contemporary impression, and the large windows and higher than average ceiling reinforce an open and airy feeling."

THE EXTERIOR

This Fortitude Fortress has an external length just short of 19ft at 18ft 10in (5.7m), which, according to Tauzowski, is the ideal compromise of internal space and manoeuvrability, essential in an offroader.

With a black and gunmetal grey colour scheme and a high stance on its raised body, the Fortress has all the appeal of the current crop of offroad vans. Splashes of red and dark grey wrapping around the sides and across the back add to the well-balanced and attractive impression. The main exterior is 3mm composite with an external layer of aluminium, while lower down is the usual checkerplate for added protection from flying debris.

Under the skin is a Meranti frame with 50mmx 25mm studs set 300mm apart for the sidewalls and roof. The floor is 19mm marine ply. Made from 3.2mm box section Australian Supergal Steel, the 6in FP Chassis has a 2in riser kit for extra ground clearance and strength.

Suspension is AL-KO’s tandem 3.5T Outback trailing arm setup with coils and twin shock absorbers at each arm. Slowing us down during were 10in AL-KO brakes.

It certainly looks the part of a tough offroader

Space for two gas bottles and a full size toolbox up front

Connection to the tow vehicle is through our favourite DO35 offroad hitch, which has excellent all-round movement and a very robust locking mechanism. Two 9kg gas bottles sit on the extended 6in A-frame, ahead of a full-width aluminium storage box with a generator slide on the driver side. A stone guard protects the front end and mud flaps down low will reduce the number of rocks flying under the van.

Two 95L water tanks sitting side by side forward of the suspension have stone guards and a 100L grey tank (with a quick flush drain tap) will keep you legal in National Parks and RV camps. Twin 120Ah AGM batteries are mounted in sturdy metal boxes on the chassis, so they are well ventilated and don't take up space inside the van.

Other exterior features include work lights front and rear, a rear view camera and a three-arm rear bar that's sturdy enough for two jerry can holders and a spare wheel.

AL-KO tandem 3.5T Outback trailing arm suspension with coils and twin shock absorbers at each arm

THE INTERIOR

Our review van had a doorway forward of the axles, so entry is near the bed, which makes maximum use of interior space by using the void around the foot of the bed. A low divider protects occupants from slipping down the stairwell and the side window is offset so there is no conflict with the door when both are open. If you prefer a rear entry away from the bed, that's an option.

Muted grey tones over the white walls give a contemporary impression, and the large windows and higher than average 2m (6ft 8in) ceiling reinforce an open and airy feeling.

The ensuite on this model is at the rear, with a centrally located dining/lounge and kitchen space. It was pleasing to see a large queen bed in the van. Extending to 6ft 6in with a bedhead bolster in place, it has a comfortable Pillowtop mattress and loads of storage underneath.

I found good access around the bed and the standard selection of hanging wardrobe, drawers and overhead cupboards. Side nooks at the bed will be handy for keeping track of phones and books and the upholstered bedhead was somewhat unusual with its slots for magazines and maps.

Kitchen bench space is as good as you could expect in a van of this size, but it is where the compromise of a smaller van shows. Overhead cupboards have piano hinges, struts that can be re-gassed, while drawers in the bench are on metal runners. The look is neat and well finished and all the openings have positive locks to keep them in place when travelling.

"With a black and gunmetal grey colour scheme and a high stance on its raised body, the Fortress has all the appeal of the current crop of offroad vans"

Nothing detached or flew open during our test even though we covered enough rough terrain to give the van a good workout.

A Thetford cooktop and grill has a fold down cover to increase bench space and there’s a range hood with a light to get rid of cooking vapours. The wide stainless steel sink also has some space on the drainer. The 190L 3-way fridge/freezer is relatively large but perhaps a 12V chest freezer would be a good option to add to the mix for long term travel. A compressor fridge is a same price option, and the twin batteries should run it effectively as long as there’s prolonged sunshine.

A couple of features at the dinette will add to the enjoyment of spending time in the van and point to a good design. Couples will find plenty of room and comfort on the well-proportioned seating and the fold-out seat extensions combined with the padded backrests will be a welcome comfort of an evening.

The bathroom is small but functional

At home on a dirt track

Large stone guards keep everything protected

"Another compromise in a smaller van is a compact ensuite, and while this one isn’t huge, I found it easy enough to move around."

Another compromise in a smaller van is a compact ensuite and while this one isn’t huge, I found it easy enough to move around. It has everything you need including a cassette toilet and moulded shower with acrylic door. A decent size vanity has a rectangular floating bowl ahead of a large wall mirror and there’s loads of storage space in several wall cupboards as well as a 3.3kg washing machine under the vanity.

The kitchen is always a compromise on a van this compact, but the Fortress makes the best possible use of the space

"Being able to stay off-grid is an important feature of any offroad van, and the Fortress is well equipped for extended time in the bush."

Tare is a reasonable 2420kg for this sized heavy-duty van. ATM is 3290kg, so the carrying capacity is 870kg, or about 670kg with full water and gas. That's very generous but at the same time, it will need careful weight distribution to maintain safe stability. The van comes with a relatively heavy ball to ATM ratio of around 10 per cent, so it tows well when empty. As with all high payload trailers, too much weight at the back will cause sway at speed and too much up front could exceed the tow vehicle’s specified maximum ball weight.

Our review took us into the wilds of the Glasshouse Mountains, over some rough roads and across washouts and deep corrugations. The company 200 series LandCruiser towed the Fortress easily up and down steep hills, as well as along the 110km/h sections of the Bruce Highway on the way to our photo shoot.

But the Fortress doesn’t need a particularly big tow vehicle. Any number of the 3500kg capable utes should be a good match as long as you keep an eye on maximum combined weights.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Being able to stay off-grid is an important feature of any offroad van and the Fortress is well equipped for extended time in the bush. With 190L of fresh water, there should be enough if showers are kept to a minimum and the grey tank should handle the overflow. Two 150W solar panels charge the twin batteries through a BMPro system and all the electronics and readouts are housed with the DVD player in an overhead cabinet near the kitchen.

I’m pretty happy that Brisbane RV take their obligations under consumer law seriously and from what I saw the staff have a comprehensive hand over process.

The 3-year warranty includes offroad use but of course owners need to be sensible. As with all builders, you aren’t covered for misuse, accident damage to panels or undercarriage or water damage if you dunk it above floor level.

The Fortress was driven hard on review day, and performed admirably

"Despite its position in the lower price range for an offroad van, the Fortress 19 isn’t lacking features"

Nice to see such a large and comfortable bed in so compact a van

At $71,990 the 19ft Fortitude stands up well in this very competitive section of the market. Despite its position in the lower price range for an offroad van, the Fortress 19 isn’t lacking features that most customers would want. It has the steely appeal of a modern offroader and a comfortable and usable interior with an understated design that should stay stylish for years.

Suspension and chassis are capable of handling our awful outback roads with confidence and the generous weight carrying capacity should mean you can take all your toys and equipment for long ventures away from home.

3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - from Alice Springs

Such a great experience! The guides were very knowlegeable and fun, we had a fantastic experience. The swag sleeping was a new experience for us and it was a bit nerve wracking for the first night, but I would definitely do it again. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a proper camping experience in the Australian outback, if you are not the most experienced camper.

85 Australian Made Caravans (Manufacturers Directory)

Over the years, the caravanning industry has continuously grown and evolved while always striving to create more comfort, convenience and self-sufficiency within their vans.

With the industrial revolution of the 21st century, where automation and technology are key, we have seen a rise in the number of caravan manufacturers looking to keep costs down and production high by going offshore.

To be fair, the Chinese and imported caravans and hybrids are getting better by the year. Plus, they allow those with entry level budgets to actually have some skin in the game and also be able to enjoy the benefits of caravanning.

However, for many Aussies, investing in 100% Australian made caravans is of the utmost importance. It may be that keeping the money and jobs local is the goal, or maybe it’s the superior quality and attention to detail that you’re looking for.

If going full Aussie is your objective, this compilation of Australian made caravans will serve as a helpful guide while researching your options.

In addition to listing each caravan manufacturer who claims to be making 100% Australian vans, I’ve pulled together all of the information I could find (from their website and elsewhere) to support that declaration. I did also email a few companies if their wording wasn’t clear enough.

Some websites are using clever phrasing to make people think they’re offering an Australian made product at first glance. But, sometimes you need to dig a little deeper or even email the manufacturer directly if you want valid confirmation.

Clever wording that looks like Australian made, but actually isn’t:

• “Australian owned & operated” – locally owned, but not necessarily built
• “Built for Australian conditions” – built for Australia, but not necessarily made in Australia
• “Local factory” – they may just assemble the caravan there using imported flat packs
• “Designed in Australia” – ‘designed’ doesn’t automatically equal ‘manufactured’
• “Australian caravan manufacturer” – the company is Australian, but the vans may still be largely built overseas

If I couldn’t find the definite wording to illustrate that the caravan manufacturer 100% constructs their vans within Australia, it did not make the cut for this Australian made caravans list.

Look out for the ‘Australian Made, Australian Grown (AMAG)’ logo ↓

Your guarantee when buying a caravan displaying the AMAG logo:

• Products are made to Australian standards
• The company shows commitment to supporting local economy, businesses, suppliers & jobs
• Reliable warranties due to locally sourced components, which are more easily accessible
• Products abide by sustainable manufacturing laws
• Products are constructed and tested in local conditions

Australian Made Caravans

You can rest assured knowing that all Adventura caravans are built from the ground up in their South Australian Green Fields factory. From the chassis to the fit out, it’s all done onsite. The company opened in 2007 with 25 years of caravan industry experience behind them.

Atlantic Caravans

Atlantic Caravans offer premium custom-built vans, which are proudly Australian made for our Aussie conditions. You can find the ‘Proudly Built in Australia’ sticker on their home page to help visually ensure customers that they are ridgy-didge.

The Atlantic Caravans production facility can be spotted amongst the many others in what’s known to be the “caravan manufacturing capital of Australia” – Campbellfield, Victoria (a north-Melbourne suburb).

Australian Caravans Direct (ACD)

The family owned and operated Australian Caravans Direct is a Melbourne-based company who produce Australian made caravans. Using a robust Australian steel chassis, every ACD caravan is proudly Australian manufactured, built and made.

What started out as a one-man show has grown into an industry standard with over 120 employees. The public are openly invited to visit the 8,500m² site on the Sunshine Coast, QLD, encompassing one purpose-built factory, two additional factories, plus the showroom.

Australis Caravans

Australis Caravans state on their website that they are “Australian designed and built,” although I’d like to see more wording to really support the 100% Australian made caravan title.

Australis customer process:

• Discuss your potential layout & options with the team
• They will advise on the most ideal design for you
• A concept drawing is created
• Once a decision is made, the builders will start work on your order

In 2013, the company made the name change to Avida, which we all know of today.

Billabong Caravans

Billabong Caravans reckon they’re about as Australian as a caravan can get. Their Aussie owner sources out the best Aussie parts and components, with all vans being completely made and manufactured in Melbourne, Victoria.

All Blue Sky products are proudly Australian made, custom built and manufactured to the highest standards. Blue Sky currently offer a ‘Melbourne range’ and a ‘Queensland range,’ which are both uniquely different.

Their newer factory in Richlands, Brisbane is four times the size of their older nearby factory, which sat in Oxley. With this, they plan to increase onsite production from 50 vehicles per year to 150 per year.

Bushmaster Off-road Caravans

Bushmaster Off-road Caravans are all Australian made with the full production taking place in Campbellfield, Victoria.

All our chassis, suspensions, stoves, hot water, outside kitchens, exhaust fans, space heaters, frame, furniture, upholstery, tool box, awnings, aluminium, tail lights etc. are made in Australia ‘like me.’ – Terry Ryan (owner)

Bushranger Campers

The benefit of Bushranger Campers remaining a small, family run business is the attention to detail that you get as a result. They work to source as much of their materials locally as possible (or at least within Australia), to keep their campers 100% Australian built and manufactured.

Bushtracker Australia

Bushtracker are unique in that they are a full custom manufacturer. They will work with you to create a highly customised caravan, starting from a blank canvas. But if creativity is not your thing, don’t worry, there are plenty of layout samples to build from.

Due to their one-off way of building caravans, you can bet that they are 100% Australian made. All design and production is done onsite at the Sunshine Coast Bushtracker factory.

Canyon Caravans

Another Australian custom caravan manufacturer is Canyon Caravans. They will work with you to come up with a custom build specific to your needs and within your budget. All caravans are Australian made and locally built in Victoria.

Carrera Caravans are solely designed and made by the company in Australia. Their website proudly states that they are owned and manufactured in Australia with the most reliable materials, designs and components.

Concept Caravans

Concept Caravans state across the bottom of their website that their caravans are 100% Australian made and Australian owned. The company has been around since 2004 and are financial supporters of RVM Australia, CIA (Victoria) and the Caravan RV and Accommodation Industry of Australia.

Condor Caravans

All Condor Caravans are built from start to finish in their Melbourne production facility. You can rest assured that their high quality team work closely together to produce the highest standard Australian made caravan.

One of the most iconic Aussie caravans Coromal, have been around since 1977. They offer 100% Australian made caravans, manufactured by Majestic in Melbourne, Victoria.

Coronet Caravans have been in business since 1959 and have traditionally been manufactured from Bayswater, Victoria. As at January 2021, Coronet RV has resumed new ownership with the manufacturing moving to Campbellfield in Victoria.

Moving forward they plan to make some changes in the business. As quoted from the Coronet RV website, “… introduce more technically advanced production methods and seek global supply of innovative tooling and components.”

Does this mean the end of being fully Australian made? Time will tell.

Crusader Caravans

Crusader Caravans are built in Australia by Australians at their Epping facility in Victoria. Starting with the strong chassis, which is made from 100% Australian steel with as many other high-quality, locally sourced components as possible.

CRZR Industries

Cub Campers

Starting with the chassis being welded onsite with Aussie Blue Scope Steel, then being passed along the production line with care every step of the way. Their camper tents are handmade with Wax Converters Australian-made cavas.

Design RV claim to be ‘Australian Tough,’ ‘Australian Made’ and ‘100% Australian Owned.’ The building process begins with an Australian made galvanised steel chassis. From there you choose your suspension, then it heads down the assembly line for flooring, walls, furniture and roof. Once it’s gone through electrical, plumbing, internal and external finishes, it’s externally water tested to make sure it’s water tight and ready to go.

Domain Caravans

Domain Caravans state that every caravan is completely Australian made and manufactured in their Campbellfield factory by experienced craftsmen.

This is GOLD! Thanks to all involved, we’ll use this to buy our hybrid van in 4 months. Cheers

Awesome! So glad to be of service 🙂

Masterpiece Caravans Campbellfield are also 100% Aussie made. We watched ours made from the chassis up.

Thanks for sharing Kerrie. I can see that they now advertise “100% Australian Made” on their website now, so I’ll add them to the list.

Thanks heaps for this, it was so helpful! I’d much prefer to buy an Aussie made caravan so you’ve saved me having to do all this research myself. 🙂

Re your article Directory of Australian Made Caravans (83 Manufacturers), I am disappointed that you did not bother to fully research this. It is a complex subject and demanded a thorough and exhaustive research – or else best left alone. I own a caravan new in 2021 which was hand built in Melbourne by a manufacturer who does not appear in your “directory”. Thus, by omission, readers will almost certainly assume it is not Australian made.

I can assure you that the amount of research that was put into this article was immense. As stated at the beginning of the post, “if I couldn’t find the definite wording to illustrate that the caravan manufacturer 100% constructs their vans within Australia, it did not make the cut for this Australian made caravans list.” I cannot add any manufacturers who don’t clearly state, or who I know on a personal level are fully made in Australia, as a moral obligation. If you’d like to share the brand of caravan you have I’d be happy to look into it and add them to the list.

How about Essential caravans

I reckon Essential Caravans are all Aussie made. They do allude to that on their website. However without the specific 100% Australian made wording, I can’t add them to the list just in case a portion of the build is somewhat imported.

Who made your van Geoff Bruin?
