RV REVIEW

BIG NEWS FROM AUSTRALIS!

Australis Caravans is one manufacturer we’ ve had our eye on for some time. The company started small more than five years ago, focussing on vans framed in timber and aluminium. But the big news from this boutique manufacturer is the launch of a new fibreglass sandwich panel model called the TerraCore.

It was the natural next step for Australis. After all, the market has been trending towards fibreglass for some time. All manufacturers will eventually take the leap. But as for the TerraCore, it didn’ t come a moment too soon – it’ s a lovely looking van with a bold presence on the road that employs some other new ideas not seen by this manufacturer before.

Further, for a 20-footer, the weight factor is pretty pleasing at 2686kg Tare( ATM: 3500kg). Our review van was also the first one of its kind out of the Australis factory – we wasted no time in checking out what the inaugural fibreglass composite van from this manufacturer had to offer.
