best value caravans australia Page 531

Chasing the best value caravans in Australia? Start with used staples like the Jayco Journey/Starcraft and Avan Aspire—sensible layouts, huge parts support, and no need to sell a kidney.

Expect solid mid‑size used vans (16–19 ft, ensuite) around $25k–$45k, while new mid‑range tourers sit roughly $55k–$90k depending on spec and off‑road pretensions.

Families love the Jayco Expanda; budget roamers look at hybrids like MDC or Stoney Creek, though off‑road bling can add weight and rattles.

For easy towing aim for Tare ≤ 2,000 kg and ATM ≤ 2,500 kg so a typical Aussie SUV isn’t weeping on hills.

Always check for water ingress, chassis rust, suspension bush wear and appliance age; a tidy logbook beats fairy lights every time.
