GPT Caravans


Hi all, just wondering if any members have heard of GPT caravans? if so any thoughts? Located in Victoria!

Many thanks

Robyn

Any Caravan that has very little details available are more then likely a Chinese product assembled in the Caravan Building Capital of Australia Campbellfield Victoria. They are probably cheaper than mainstream builders but parts will be an issue. Nothing is cheap enough if you keep on having troubles!

Robyn,

looked at the website and my only comment is I would keep well away. Warranty section discusses finance, Service section is written in Italian, and the address when looking at where they are comes up as GPT Power Tools. The prices look very low for what is offered and quite frankly it looks "funny" to me. Also using the name Goldstar is questionable, as there is a Goldstar brand already in Australia, with it's own problems from what I have seen on forums. Be very careful, and I would look at a secondhand brand name rather than one of these.

Thanks so much for your advice. Yes I agree if it's cheap there  is a reason! and you only get what you paid for! Just needed to get that scenario out of the way before we committee to a 4yr old well known brand!

So looking forward to hitting the road soon.

Make sure they're makers not heart breakers. Too many pop up brands these days. If it's cheap it's probably rubbish.
