Purchasing a caravan can be a daunting experience as there is so much choice in the market these days, plus it’s a huge financial investment.  You can often be left feeling a little uneasy and apprehensive with your new purchase.

Before you start visiting dealerships we suggest to work out what your needs are, where you want to travel and what features you would like included.  Also it’s a good idea to spend some time researching online to find out about the different models and options that are available.

There are a few things your dealer can offer to help ease your concerns, so you can drive away with complete confidence.

Consultation

It’s essential to have a thorough consultation with your dealer so they can recommend the right van for you.  Together you should discuss how you will use the van, how many people it needs to sleep, where you will be travelling, what is your vehicle’s towing capacity and so on.  Only when they have a clear understanding of your requirements should they recommend a product for you.

RVMAP Accredited Dealer

Buying from an RVMAP accredited dealer can help you feel secure and confident that you have purchased a quality product.  Accredited dealers/manufacturers adhere to the Australian RV manufacturing standards that are set by the Caravan Industry Association of Australia.  For more information about this accreditation visit Accredited Caravan Dealer.

Warranty

If you are buying a new or demo RV, ensure that a warranty period is included and you understand the conditions of this warranty.  Teething problems can occur with new caravans, so it’s important you are protected against any manufacturing faults or parts failure.  Our new and demo caravans come with a 2 year warranty and used vans over $10,000 have a 3 months warranty included.

Thorough Handover

Some of your apprehension with your new purchase may come from feeling unsure how to operate the caravan and it’s features.  You should be offered a thorough handover to show you the ins and outs of your new RV.  Our handovers take around one and a half hours, where we show the customer how to operate all features and appliances.  Once the van is safely hooked up to the customer’s car, we take them for a drive to make sure it is towing correctly and the brake controller is set to the correct setting.  Your dealer should be happy to spend as much time with you as needed to ensure you drive away 100% capable and informed.

Safe Towing Course

Towing a van can be challenging at first and it’s essential to learn a few basic skills to help you tow safely and with confidence.  If this is your first time buying an RV, we recommend completing a safe towing course before you head away on holiday.  

Buying from a dealer who is willing to invest time in helping you make the right purchase will pay off in the end, as you will drive away feeling confident and secure.

There are many new things to consider when towing your caravan and it’s important to take extra care on the roads.  We have put together some additional tips to help keep you safe on the roads;  SAFE TOWING

If you would like more information on towing your caravan safety, feel free to call us on 08 8261 8442 and one of our experienced staff will be happy to help you. 

When travelling with your caravan or camper you need to take extra caution to prevent accidents on the road.  Before you head off on your holiday, it’s important to plan ahead and be prepared.  

To help keep you safe on the roads, we have put together some helpful tips:

• Ensure your caravan has been serviced before heading off on holiday and checks have been carried out for gas leaks and electrical issues.  If you have a break away brake system fitted make sure it’s battery is fully charged.
• Inspect tyres carefully and make sure they are inflated to the correct pressure.  Tyres not only wear out they also age. Tyres that look okay for tread can delaminate due to age causing serious damage to your caravan or camper.
• Check that the couplings and safety chains are correctly connected and securely fastened.
• Ensure the brake and light connections are secure and all lights work.
• Check that the wheel nuts on both your vehicle and caravan are tightened to the manufacturers specifications.
• Make one or two test stops to check that the brakes are working properly.
• Adjust the mirrors to make sure you have a good view of the road behind your caravan.
• Check the awning is stored away and locked in the travel position. Remember to store away in wind and never leave your caravan unattended with the awning out.
• While you are travelling ensure that the gas cylinders are turned off and the refrigerator door is locked.
• Do not overload your caravan or camper.  You can check the ATM limit on the compliance plate and if unsure check your weight at a weigh bridge.  Ball weight is also imperative as this may cause damage to the towing vehicle and cause an accident if exceeded.

Towing a caravan changes the way your car will perform, so it’s important to take extra care when caravanning.  Here are some tips to keep in mind when towing your caravan or camper.

• Towing a caravan decreases the acceleration and braking ability so it’s important to be aware of this. Ensure there is more space between you and the vehicle in front, to allow for a longer stopping distance. Overtaking safely requires more time and distance.
• Accelerate, brake and steer your caravan smoothly to avoid caravan sway.  This is especially important in wet and slippery conditions.
• If the caravan starts to sway avoid applying the brakes. If you experience sway use the hand control on your brake controller as this will stabilise your caravan.
• Where possible pull over to allow other vehicles to overtake.  Keep to the left and give overtaking vehicles space to pass safely.
• Take extra care when driving in poor conditions, high winds or passing larger vehicles.  Slow down to reduce swaying of your caravan.
• Reversing a caravan can be difficult so practicing before hand is essential. Reversing with a person guiding you outside the vehicle is very helpful.
• Load your caravan correctly to reduce the chance of sway.
• Towing a caravan can cause additional stress when driving so plan lots of rest stops to avoid fatigue.

Following a few checks and balances and keeping a clear head while travelling in your caravan will help keep you and your family safe on the roads.

If you have decided to buy a used caravan it’s important to do a bit of research to make sure you purchase a van that’s in good shape.  We recommend purchasing a used caravan from a licensed dealer as they most likely will include a limited warranty and will also give the caravan a thorough check before it leaves their dealership. 

Choosing a dealer that is part of their local caravan and camping industry association is a good place to start.  Being a member of these associations means dealers are required to adhere to code of ethics and strive to uphold the best standards in this industry.

To get you started we have put together some points to consider when buying a used caravan:

• Find out the weight to determine if your car can safely tow the caravan.  Check the TARE, the empty weight of the caravan and the ATM, the loaded weight.  This legal responsibility falls on you to make sure that you don’t exceed the weight limits.
• Check the title of ownership for the used caravan and ensure there is no finance outstanding or that it isn’t stolen.
• Check that the VIN plates match all documentation.
• Check that the manufacturer still exists and spare parts are available for the particular used caravan.
• Ask if the van has been involved in any accidents and if there have been any major repairs completed on the used caravan.
• Give the caravan a once over and check for corrosion or damage.
• Make sure the caravan is water tight and there is no sign of dampness. Water penetration can cause a lot of damage to caravans.
• Check everything in the used caravan is working.
• If you are buying from a dealer ask if they complete a pre delivery inspection on the caravan to make sure everything is working before it leaves their dealership.
• Check if there is any warranty included with the used caravan and what is covered.

We hope these tips help get you started with buying a used caravan.  If you have any further questions feel free to call one of our sales staff in Adelaide on 08 8261 8442.
