Hi all

I am lead to believe that there are approx 52 caravan brands currently being manufactured in the Campbellfield area of Melbourne.   There are others brands coming out of other areas of Melbourne and Victoria.

 We head to Campbellfield on Friday (hopefully if rego is done) to pickup our new Retreat Hamilton.

Getting pretty toey at the moment.

Wow! 52 brands just from Campbellfield. No wonder we are seeing so many different makes on the road. Some of them must end up looking so very much alike. Only one more sleep Robyn and Ted .....enjoy with a big smile.

Hi NeilnRuth

We have an off road camper trailer which we love.   Did us really well when we travelled for 16mths.   You're right there are heaps of different types of rigs on the road.  Even with camper trailers.  When we bought ours about 6 years ago there only a few companies.   Now, I've lost count of how many different campers are out on the road now.   

However, due to changing needs we are upgrading to a caravan.   We've ordered a JB 18'6" Dreamline Caravan which we pick up in September.    JB Caravans are a fairly new company near Craigieburn in Melbourne.   Seem to have a really good reputation.
