JAWA Vans Costliest Newbie Mistakes Buying an Off-road Caravan or Camper

It might be an exciting purchase, but buying an offroad hybrid caravan or camper is also an expensive one! The bigger the investment, the more research is required. Not all offroad caravans and campers are made equally, so it’s important to be clear about your must-haves before you start the search. After all, the best off road camper is the one that meets your high standards.

But what could go wrong when you buy off road caravans or campers? Read on to find out!

Buyers Let Down by Industry Issues

The caravan and camper industry isn’t always awesome

There are a lot of caravan brands on the market and plenty of places to buy them – but they don’t all meet the standards that consumers deserve. The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission’s last caravan retailing report highlights a variety of issues. One of the biggest was a poor response to consumers experiencing issues with their new purchase, and manufacturers failing suppliers who did do the right thing. It creates a circle of mistrust, but JAWA Off Road Campers have your back.

Falling For Beauty over Brawn

The best off road caravan inclusions aren’t about looks

Australia is as rugged as it is beautiful, so you need an offroad camper that can tackle the challenges. Pay close attention to the inclusions list as it will highlight whether the offroad caravan or camper is fully hydraulic, what it offers in the towing department, the suspension, and whether the dust reduction system is Australia-proof.

While colour schemes are fun to consider, some inclusions can make the difference between travelling with ease and comfort, and a whole lot of grunt work and hassle.

Mistaking Offroad for Extreme

Offroad caravanning is not just for thrill-seekers

When most people think about offroad caravanning, they imagine what other offroad sports do – tackle rocky tracks, dive into steep inclines, and trek through rough creek beds. But not every customer chooses an offroad hybrid caravan for extreme adventure! Sometimes it’s necessary to take the bumpier roads to find the most scenic spot.

The freedom to choose an off road adventure

No matter whether you’re planning maximum offroad adventures or not, investing in an offroad caravan or camper will give you the freedom to take the high road, the low road, or no road at all. Winding through the Great Ocean Road or crossing the Nullarbor Plain, a fully offroad caravan equips you for the journey! 

Getting Caught Up On Size

The real reason size matters when you buy off road caravans

Size does matter, but not in the way most people think. When it comes to offroad caravans and campers, bigger doesn’t mean better. The right size camper for you is the one that meets all your requirements. Don’t get caught up on 10 foot or 18 foot. Be guided by the camping lifestyle you want to enjoy. For some, that will mean compact luxury for couples’ getaways. For others, spacious comfort and maximum storage will tick all the boxes for family adventures.

Buying the Right Off Road Camper or Caravan

Purchasing an offroad camper is a large investment – but it’s one that when done right will bring years of brilliant adventures and happy memories.

A pre-approved loan can make the shopping experience less stressful and even provide you with additional buying power.
