Blog The Off-Road Camper Features That Set JAWA Apart

As lifelong campers, the JAWA team is passionate about off road camper features. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over the decades to design a camper range that suits every kind of traveller and all kinds of Aussie terrain! With rugged designs, a range of layouts, luxury comforts, and a focus on off-road endurance, JAWA is quickly becoming a go-to name for those looking to explore our country’s most remote corners in ultimate style.

With premium features as standard, there’s no need to blow your budget on optional extras. JAWA hybrid caravans and campers offer the ultimate value for money, no compromises necessary!

Built For Beach, Bush, and Beyond

There’s a lot more that goes into the design and build of a caravan than you may expect, and we’ve spent countless research and development hours perfecting every JAWA model.

We don’t hide the fact that our campers are made offshore. It enables us to bring quality-built campers to the market at prices that are affordable for more Australians. However, it’s all the additional work we do once our campers arrive in our Australian workshop that takes JAWA to the next level. We fit, upgrade, and test every camper, installing all hydraulics, plumbing and electrical to stringent Australian standards.

All JAWA models are built with a fully welded, hot-dip galvanised steel chassis with underbody deadener for superior durability – essential for diverse Aussie conditions. The rust-resistant aluminium frame and composite panel construction ensure JAWA campers are the perfect balance of tough, lightweight, and well-insulated.

Some might consider the construction of JAWA’s range over-engineered, but that’s a deliberate choice. The robustness of our off road campers is everything you need and expect when travelling across Australia.

Premium Power Systems + Other Inclusions

No matter how far you roam, you can be confident your JAWA power system can keep up with you. The Victron Charging System and Arizon high-capacity lithium batteries (often 400Ah+) are standard across the entire hybrid range and offer maximum performance and battery life. The high-efficiency Victron inverter charger (up to 3000W), paired with multiple Victron MPPT solar inputs and a DC–DC charging system, allows full off-grid operation of major appliances, including air conditioning, lighting, and induction cooking.

Truma instantaneous hot water, and diesel or reverse-cycle climate control provide hotel-grade comfort and convenience, even in the middle of the Outback. Some models even feature spacious awnings and Wi-Fi-ready tech setups, making them ideal for remote professionals or long-term travellers.

The Dometic Dust Reduction System (DRS) is a key feature designed to operate when your vehicle is in motion. Essential for Australian conditions, the DRS actively prevents dust from entering the cabin when travelling on unsealed roads, protecting the interior of the caravan, including furniture, bedding, electricals, and the air quality.

Superior Suspension and Towing

JAWA campers are equipped with fully off-road independent suspension systems, so you can take the road less travelled with confidence. Lovells suspension – including heavy-duty coil springs and dual shock absorbers – is a non-negotiable standard inclusion for all our campers, providing better handling and stability, and superior vibration dampening for a smoother ride. When you hit those corrugated roads, you’ll remember exactly why Lovells has such a stellar reputation.

Safer, smoother towing also comes standard across the range with Cruisemaster DO35 Offroad Coupling. It features simple operation, a robust steel build with excellent corrosion resistance, and 360-degree rotation to reduce rollover risk. JAWA caravans also come with 12-inch electric drum brakes with off-road magnets, genuine KOYO Japanese wheel bearings, and a choice of All Terrain or Mud Terrain wheels. Superior performance and safety shouldn’t be an add-on!

Warranty and After-Sale Service

In a market where reliability can mean the difference between a dream trip and a roadside headache, JAWA offers our customers peace of mind with a five-year structural warranty, and a growing national support network for convenient access to servicing and expert advice whenever you need it.

With showrooms spanning Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia, support from our reliable team is never far away.
