In what is believed to be a first for an Australian caravan manufacturer, Brisbane-based Apollo has introduced a new COVID-safe "from factory floor to your door' online shopping service for caravan and motorhome buyers.
Described as a "new way to buy an RV", buyers can choose from a selecton of Winnebago and Windsor motorhome ands campervans, or Windsor caravans from the new Caravans Away website, with many of the models available as early as this month (September) for super-quick delivery.
Like buying from a dealer, buyers can choose to add accessories and special option packs to their online purchase, with an initial $1000 down payment and further payments via Master Card, Visa, cheque or bank transfer.
There's also a “7-Day Money Back Guarantee”, if the buyer changes their mind after delivery, subject to terms and conditions.
Delivery is free to locations within the Brisbane Metro Region, with an additional delivery fee required to other locations in Queensland as well as other states and territories. Interstate buyers will also need to organise the transfer of registration in their home state, as the RVs will be delivered from the factory with a Queensland registration permit.
Buyers also have the option to 'click and collect'.
"Keeping up with market demands and creating solutions for Covid Safe purchasing, Caravans Away sells build slots from the Apollo factory, delivering direct to your door," Apollo said.
"Choose from set builds with early delivery under 60 days or customise your own within the factory build selections on new builds scheduled two or more months out."
"Secure your build slot instantly with a $1000 holding fee. If you’re not smitten with your new RV within seven days, you can return it."
