Never heard of the brand but that means little. I live by the guide line "of ďt sounds too good to be true it probably is". A wooden frame would worry me.

BTY Welcome to the forum

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,ashamed

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.

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.

Thanks for the welcome Doug, have only been enjoying the "playground" for 2 years, looking forward to making it 20.

I have been checking out the forum for some time now and have gained lots of helpful tips so decided it was time to become a member, so glad I did.

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?
