Australia's biggest caravan and camper importer gets bigger

Austrack Campers acquires X Series RV, Sunland and Phoenix caravans in liquidation sale

One of Australia's biggest selling RV companies is expanding its range of imported models, after acquiring a number of existing caravan brands in a liquidation sale.

Queensland-based Austrack Campers announced last week it has acquired X Series RV, as well as Sunland and Phoenix Caravans, for an undisclosed figure, after administrators Rodgers Reidy recently called for expressions of interest from potential buyers.

The three brands, previously part of the Victoria-based Global RV Sales network entered administration in June, before they were voluntarily wound up on July 31.

An Austrack Campers' spokesperson told caravancampingsales the deal includes "all IP, brand rights, dealer network, physical assets, etc".

However, the acquisition could mark the end of Sunland caravans, which were built in Queensland for around 20 years before production was moved to a Melbourne factory after a change of ownership.

"We are continuing with X Series and Phoenix RV," the spokesperson said. "We will not be continuing to build Sunland caravans at this time."

Like the Austrack models, the X Series RV campers are built in a Chinese factory, with the fledgling brand offering a wide range of models from toy haulers and full size caravans, to pod campers and motorhomes since its launch in 2024.

In a statement Austrack said it "will continue developing the X Series RV platform, combining its proven off-road DNA with a strong focus on innovation, product development and customer support, backed by a nationwide showroom and service network".

"Customers can expect the next generation of X Series RV campers to be stronger, smarter and better equipped than ever before."

Austrack delivered more than 3000 campers and caravans to the Australian market in 2025, according to RAV data; a number second only to Jayco which remains Australia's biggest selling RV brand and its largest caravan manufacturer with close to 6000 RVs sold in 2025.

Owned since 2015 by award-winning entrepreneur Linden Lawson, the 20-year-old importer also recently made a big move into the off-grid touring caravan market with the launch of its new Zodiac range.

“This is about more than purchasing a business. It’s about protecting a brand that Australians genuinely love and giving customers confidence that it’s in safe hands,” Lawson said.

The road ahead

The Global RV group of businesses reportedly collapsed with a combined $17million in debts, including money owed to creditors, suppliers, employees and the tax office.

Customers were also left in the lurch, with one reportedly paying an $86,000 deposit.

"While we are not legally obligated to honour existing agreements for X Series RV customers, we are choosing to make every effort to support those affected by the liquidation where possible," the Austrack spokesperson said.

"For privacy reasons, we cannot disclose specific customer details, but we are already actively assisting several X Series owners wherever the situation allows."

Customers impacted by the liquidation can contact Austrack Campers via email at sales@austrackcampers.com.au.

The Austrack acquisition marks further consolidation of the Australian RV industry, and follows the JB Group's purchase of the Network RV stable of brands in another liquidation sale last month.
