Would doubt it very much that there is any truth in the rumour, as some of the older van are better constructed than the latest and most vans constructed in Australia are still built with materials that have been used for the last 50 or more years.
Many insurance policies don't cover you for cyclone damage if you are above a certain latitude.
I have often wonder why someone that is touring in a caravan would choose to stay in an area, that has a cyclone bearing down on them, when they can just up and move to a safer area.
I for one would not want to be inside a van with a cyclone roaring outside there is no protection in a van from a cyclone.
Cheers

I found this with a permanent caravan (Annual) I had set up in a caravan park. They bought in a new rule "For safety reasons" you must not have a van over ten years. I found out it was only a rule the owner had not law. A few people took it further and still have their vans there. I sold mine and now travel full time with my new Den.

have seen the "10 yr" rule applied more often to permanent setups. Queenscliff were doing it 15 yrs ago. Guess its an aesthetic thing as some old vans with attached fibro/tin annexes might 'down grade' their park.

So true, David, unfortunately we were in our poptop during a cyclone in 2013, when it came thru Gympie. We'd sold our house and were camping in the van while the new house was being built. We chained it down and luckily it stayed put but was very scarey

I agree it is probably more about moving on permanents either for aesthetic or social reasons Jen
