New Age Caravans

What New Age Caravans does

New Age Caravans is a privately held, family-owned Australian manufacturer of caravans, motorhomes and campervans, headquartered in Epping/Melbourne with production concentrated at a purpose-built facility in Campbellfield, Victoria — described as Australia's prime caravan manufacturing hub. Founded in 2004 as New Age Frames and Designs supplying structural framing and CNC-fabricated components to other manufacturers, the company pivoted in 2008 to building its own vehicles under the New Age Caravans brand. Its core manufacturing differentiator is a claimed world-unique single-piece hot dip galvanized chassis, robotically welded with a rolled (not welded) A-frame, complemented by in-house framing, CNC componentry and upholstery. Annual production capacity exceeds 2,000 units, up from roughly 5 per week in 2009.

The product portfolio spans six ranges — On-Road, Luxury On-Road, Semi Off-Road, Full Off-Road/Expedition, Luxury Off-Road and Motorhomes & Campervans — with starting prices from A$74,490 (Manta Ray) to A$248,500 (Nam8). Recent product expansion includes the Nam8 luxury motorhome built on an Iveco Daily chassis with a scalable 48V 4kW EcoFlow off-grid power system, and a Fiat-based compact campervan. Distribution is exclusively through an authorized dealer network across every Australian state and territory plus Auckland and Christchurch in New Zealand, with consumer finance facilitated through Blue Chip Lending and a 3-year bumper-to-hitch warranty supporting aftermarket parts and service revenue.

The business model is direct-to-consumer via dealers, generating one-time hardware sales on each unit with ongoing parts and servicing income through the dealer network. Marketing combines dealer-led sales, a Social Club community program operating across seven Australian jurisdictions, an ambassador referral scheme, and digital channels (website, email newsletter, YouTube). Headcount sits at 51-100 employees; the company is family-operated with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or leadership changes in the available record, and has been appointed to the board of the Caravan Industry Association of Victoria.
