CARAVAN PRICE WARS ESCALATE

The 2025 Melbourne Leisurefest held at the Sandown Racecourse in September had two things you don’t normally see at an Australian caravan show.

The first was the pet cat at the Paradise Motor Homes stand. We’ve seen plenty of cuddly canines at local caravan shows over the years, but never before a feisty feline on a leash.

The other eye-opener was the number of signs not just urging the 27,000-plus showgoers that attended the event over the four days to buy an Australian-made RV, but actually advising against purchasing an imported one.

At the display of Crusader’s new budget Dreamhaven caravans (with their sub-$70K starting price designed to go “head-to-head with imports” according to the media release), there were signs with an ‘Australian checklist’ for buyers, including “no overseas shortcuts”, “no imported shipping container shells,” and “no imported chassis”.
