RV REVIEW

TOURING WITH THE ADVENTURE 5.5

As 2025 wound to a close, I received a call. Caravan HQ in Pakenham, Vic, had an Adventure 5.5 available with which I could have some pre-Christmas fun. This van was built by On the Move, a brand that has earned considerable respect on the Australian caravan scene over a 15-year period or thereabouts.

Nowadays, On the Move’ s caravans are built in China to our standards, and I have spent enough time with these vans, as well as the people at the company, to form the opinion that they’ re to be taken seriously, both in terms of their build quality and their price point.

Further, all structural components, from the automative-style Desert Master chassis to the wishbone suspension, are designed and fabricated in-house, which provides the company the flexibility to build cohesive vans without having to factor in requirements from third-party component suppliers. Essentially, from the ground up, the structure is completely built by On the Move.

Further – and I might be talking slightly out of school – the company is driving towards completely timber-free vans. Though you won’ t find timber in the structure of this Adventure, or other On the Move caravans, it’ s still used for internal furniture. But I’ m told big things are about to happen on this front.
