Hoping to soon purchase a new van, and are seriously considering a New Age Caravan. While we have done heaps of homework about this purchase, we would appreciate any expert knowledge anyone has to offer.

Hi
We bought a New Age Bilby as new in 2011 and travelled all over NSW, parts of VIC and parts of SA, even west of White Cliffs and Broken Hill. It was a wonderful van but for trips longer than a month we found too small.

We purchased last year a new New Age Oz Classic 20 foot after getting a good trade in value for our Bilby. This is a superb van tows really well and 110km freeway driving is a breeze although we usually travel about 95 km/hr

As you may guess I highly recommend New Age. One minor downside or maybe upside is they are a little heavy since they are built so strong.

Cheers

Great Van and a great company to deal with. We have a Little Joey 16' with shower and toilet and just love it.

We just bought a 16' Manta Ray deluxe off road and love it. Very sturdy van and seems extremely well built. Good company to deal with and I believe value for money.

Cheers

Can't remember but are they already fitted out for independent camping or do you have to add all those bits such as solar panels and batteries?

Hi Rosie,after 9 months of looking around I ended up getting a New Age wallaby 16ft off roader as I go away a lot with my 4wd club .Iam more than happy with it and have had no issues at all which has surprised a lot of people I know with other brands.One of the club members who is updating from another brand is buying a New Age based on what they have seen me do with mine.Not sure where you live but they just opened their branch in Adelaide and I had nothing but good experience with the whole deal.As Jim said,built strong so not the cheapest around but you do get what you pay for in the long run and they appear to hold their value well.Cheers Brian
