WHEN WE SAY “BUILT IN AUSTRALIA” – WE MEAN IT!

​

FAST FACTS

• Did you know that over 50% of all vans sold in Australia are now imported?

• Did you know that 98% of products fitted to Australian made vans are imported?

 

This means that companies promoting that they are Australian Made are using predominately imported products on the bulk of their vans – but we will leave that for another day.

​

There are 2 very clear business models used when importing Campers & Hybrid Vans into the Australian market?

​

MODEL 1 – The entire manufacturing and production of the unit is done overseas. Things like suspension, hubs, bearings, all 240v & 12v electrical as well as gas & plumbing all done behind closed doors – insert a SCARY face here…

The units are then pulled out of a shipping container and handed over to the unsuspecting customer. The process is almost entirely unregulated and is the best way to make a quick buck – especially in a boom. This process saves thousands of $$ on overheads but you (the consumer) run a huge risk when purchasing a unit like this.

​

MODEL 2 – (The Nomadic Business model) Each camper is designed in house and modeled using 3D cad system prior to any production taking place. The Cad models are then sent to an independent testing facility in Australia for approval.

Once approved the manufacturing process is then licensed to an international factory for production. We have strict control measures in place including checklists and data testing. When complete, the products are sent to Australia and the Fitment of CRITICAL COMPONENTS begins.

​

Like the flight systems on an Aircraft, the Critical Components of a caravan are just as important.
