Our Construction

Built for the
Road Ahead.

Our caravans are constructed from Australian Meranti Timber, which is resilient and strong. This is well-finished and sealed, allowing for movement and flex while you travel.

The fact that this hardwood is comparatively light, sturdy, and flexible makes it a preferred option and is chosen by leading Australian manufacturers for its unmatched durability in rugged terrains.
