Hi Dave, Live in Ocean Grove near Geelong. Have been in the Bellarine Caravans yard and looked at their vans. Finish of the vans and pricing quite good. Have been around for quite a few years moving from the Bellarine Highway out to Corio a couple of years ago.
As we haven't purchased a van from them can't comment on service but they have been around for at least 7 years that I can remember. They are not fly by nighters!

Hope this helps in some way.

confusehi robyn & ted, thanks for your reply, we still have a long way to go yet b4 we make afinal decision. i see by your photo of van and territory, it looks quite good. how do you find the territory as your tow vehicle and what are the weight specs of your van. hope u don't find me too intrusive.

cheers

Hi Crocodile,
The Dreamtime caravans are made exclusivly for Bellarine Caravans by BlueSky.
If you look at Fusion on their web page they are made by Paradise Caravans.
Both are made in Melbourne.

Dave,  Love the Territory for travelling in. This one is only a 2 wheel drive. One before was a 4x4 and would prefer that, but, we've got what we've got. Tow capacity is 2500kg.
Our van is a 2005 Avan Rhys. Tare weight is 1600kg.  Initially had trouble balancing the van with the car but had the springs raised above the axle and now it sits beautifully behind the Territory.  Have read of a lot of Avan poptop owners who have done the same thing and are much happier.  Hope I have used the right technical terms??????? and this is helpful with your deliberations.
