In early 2025, Australis Caravans released a new caravan in its Overland range. Known as the Overland XT Series, this 21ft van was the second in the manufacturer’ s stable to be fitted with a slide-out.

The slide-out in the new Overland XT was very similar in design and‘ feel’ to the one we found in the Australis Coastline XT with the same spec- that was a 22ft 6in van.

Positioned on the offside, it slid out at the push of a button and even had built-in cup-holders! The twotone leather upholstery genuinely felt luxurious and while I’ d personally prefer some powerpoints in the leg area, there were USB charging points integrated with the multidirectional reading lights in this space.
