JOHN FORD

BIG 50TH YEAR FOR JAYCO • Caravan giant Jayco celebrates 50 years this year and, so far, things are looking good for this industry stalwart, despite the tough economic times.

KOKODA LAUNCHES THE'WORLD'S MOST SELF-SUFFICIENT’ VAN

QLD CARAVAN INDUSTRY CALLS FOR BRUCE HIGHWAY FIXES

JAWA OFF ROAD CAMPERS UPDATES INFINITY 15 HYBRID

THE ICONIC WINDSOR RAPID RETURNS

TRAIN TRIP • Malcolm caught the train from Sydney to the Newcastle Caravan Camping Lifestyle Expo.

ARE CHASSIS-MOUNTED LITHIUM BATTERIES A RISK? • This month David answers a question about the correct storage for lithium batteries.

RVMAP: HELPING RV PRODUCTS BECOME SAFER • The Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing Accreditation Program (RVMAP) is designed to ensure your caravan meets strict safety requirements, giving you the peace of mind to focus on your next trip.

A GAS-CONNECTION PROBLEM

BRINGING A BOAT • Caravanning and fishing go hand in hand, so John Ford takes a look at the options for bringing a boat on your next adventure. How big a boat do you need, and what are the safety concerns?

NEW VISTAS AWAIT • The La Vista Quokka RD18.6 is a single-axle semi-offroad van that offers a practical layout, ample storage and some smart inclusions that make it suitable for off-grid stays.

TRAVELLING THE TASMAN PENINSULA • Boasting quaint villages, historic sites, stunning sea cliffs and tantalising wines, whiskies and produce … there's much more to the Tasman Peninsula than Port Arthur and the Three Capes Walk.

HEAD OFFROAD WITH TITANIUM • Starting out as a boutique brand in Victoria, Titanium Caravans has grown into one of Australia's leading offroad caravan and hybrid manufacturers, vying for a spot at the top against Queensland's massive offroad caravan market.

ADVENTURE AWAITS WITH STESSL • Finding the right boat for your caravanning travels can be tricky, but Stessl Boats’ range of aluminium boats makes it simple. Designed to be lightweight, durable and versatile, Stessl's car topper models allow you to take your Aussie adventures even further.

TRAVEL IN STYLE • Despite the slightly misleading name, the Vacationer Roughrider is anything but rough – built to handle tough tracks but ensuring its occupants travel in style.

MUCH TO DO IN KALUMBURU • Travellers on the Gibb River Road can extend their adventure with a sidetrack to Kalumburu. But should you take a van?

AUTUMN ADVENTURES IN NEHC • With its breathtaking natural landscapes, rich cultural heritage and diverse attractions, NSW's New England High Country is a must-visit destination for your next autumn road trip.

MOVING ON • This single-axle couples van has the same innovative engineering as the rest of the On The Move Caravans Adventure range but offers better manoeuvrability and a lighter towing option.

MUSTER MAGIC AWAITS YOU • A star-studded musical lineup, up to nine days of camping surrounded by a lush forest and festival fun for the whole family – the Gympie Music Muster should be on everyone's bucket list in 2025.

EXPLORE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS • There are more sides to the Snowy Mountains than the well-known ski runs and Kosciuszko summit walk. The Kosciuszko National Park covers a huge area of south-eastern New South Wales and explorations of portions of this area will reap rewards. This article does not relate to the months of ice and snow!
