I am a new member hoping to get some feed back on a caravan I found on the caravancampingsales.com.au site, it's a 2012 Beyond The Hawksbury priced at $49,990. I looked up the companies web site, it's a very small outfit that hasn't been in the caravan building trade for long.
The van ticks all the boxes for what we want, except the timber frame, but it almost sounds too good to be true.
Has anyone heard any good or bad about this company or van.
HELP,
PS this is my first post hope I got it right.

Is it a new or used van? If used, I would be querying why such a new van was being sold.

The guy that set up this company posted on the Caravanners Forum, when company first set up. That post contains photos of some vans. I can't post link, but google Caravanners Forum and use their search to find Beyond Caravans.
Welcome SuPe, enjoy here and in the playground. I have never heard of Beyond Caravans so hope all goes well for you.
Make sure you check out all the different sections of this great forum and never be afraid to ask questions, there are plenty of very knowledgable people here so have fun and,

Thank you, I live by the same creed but also think new companies have to start somewhere (as long as it's not at my expense).
This guy has been in the trade for approx 11 years but only started his own business in 2011.

Jayco Starcraft aluminium frame and best insulated aluminium van in the market
no issues if you have warranty with Jayco it will be fixed
my wifes sister is married to a caravan repairer. he says if you are going to go out and buy a new caravan buy a Jayco. he employs 7 guys and sees everything.

Hi to everyone
Is there any further information available about Beyond Caravans - I have narrowed down our choice to Blue Sky and Beyond (well lol at this stage) Can't seem to find anyone else who has a Beyond?

There is also a great Condor caravan there for sale, but I am biased as it is mine
