CHECK OUT THE AUGUSTUS!

Since being established in 2015, Hilltop Caravans has had a particular focus on building couple’ s vans. But this year, the company’ s owners, Dam and Dula, felt that it was time to place some emphasis on family caravans, particularly when their Western Australia dealer suggested there was a market for them out west.

INSIDE THE AUGUSTUS
