Caravan World's October issue focuses on one of our most requested features: compact caravans. We review five models, covering everything from high-end adventure off-roaders to budget-friendly blacktop tourers for couples. Representing the go-anywhere crowd are vans from Vision, Stockman and Trakmaster, while Jayco and Avan line up for the touring team.
Our feature articles include nine practical tips for newcomers to make life on the road a bit smoother. A decent set of towing mirrors is non-negotiable, so we show you how to install a pair from MSA 4X4. Caravans Coffs Coast explains how they became one of the country's prominent off-road caravan dealers, and we take a peek behind the scenes to see how Offline Campers thrives out of South Australia.
If you need a bit of travel inspiration, we have you covered. We head as far north as your tyres will take you to Cape York, wander the trails around the Snowy Mountains, meander along the South Australian coast, catch the barge to K’Gari Fraser Island and take the shortcut from Wentworth to Bourke along the Darling River Run.
Our regular columnists are also back to share their latest takes on the industry.
