HOW TO WIN

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF COTY • As the glorious days of autumn rolled into Victoria's beautiful Yarra Valley, so too did an exciting lineup of caravans – all of them ready for their chance to shine at Caravan of the Year 2023 presented by MSA 4x4 Accessories. But before we get into the testing, we'll take a peek behind the curtain of this five-day event, and all the people that contribute to making it happen.

POWER PLAYER • The all-eiectric Electrex from Spinifex lives up to its name – there is no gas and a massive power supply which gives this classy offroader remarkable self-sufficiency.

A CUTE BRUTE • At just 13ft 6in, the Wombat by Highline Caravans was the smallest van this year. But don't let its size fool you – it punches above its weight in the quality of its build, its features and self-sufficiency.

A MACHINE FOR OUR TIME • Tardis is used to describe surprisingly spacious accommodation, so the name of Titan's 23ft luxury wan makes perfect sense.

FOLLOW THAT DREAM • My Dream RV is something of a new name in the world of caravans, but the design team behind the name is not, having been involved in the industry for some years.

WONDERFUL WONDERLAND • The team at Caravan World has been privileged to get the opportunity to review a number of Wonderland RVs over the years.

STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD • The much-awaited release of Cub Campers’ first caravan last year didn't disappoint, and the judges discovered that the C16 lives up to the hype.

BEAUTY BEYOND COMPARE • Only a short drive from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley and Dandeong Ranges offer a treasure trove of experiences, including quality local food and wine, breathtaking scenery, romantic hideaways and indulgent adventures.

WHERE TWO OCEANS MEET • Seize the seas when visiting the Margaret River region's most southern town, Augusta.

THE HAVENS: A PATCH OF PARADISE • Join Julie as she takes you through the best of The Havens in New South Wales, including the picturesque waterways and walks, the incredible places to eat and much more.

A BETTER RAM 1500? • GM Specialty Vehicles recently invited us to the launch of the MY23 Silverado 7500 LTZ Premium and ZR2 and, in a surprise twist, we were greeted with a bevy of caravans to tow and a boat to boot

SEALANTS AND ADHESIVES… IS MORE ALWAYS BETTER? • Keeping water and dust out of your van is essential for keeping it in good condition and John Hughes did some research into the best products to use on your pride and joy.

BUSHMASTER OFFROAD CARAVANS: ROUGH, TOUGH AND READY TO GO • Since 1994, Terry Ryan has been building some of Australia's toughest caravans,...
