New Age drops caravan prices

Melbourne's New Age has dropped the entry price of two of its most popular caravan models, and also rolled out new MY24 updates across its pop-top caravan range.

For a limited time, New Age is offering new entry-level Escape variants of its popular Road Owl and Manta Ray caravans, priced from $79,990.

The new Escape models are up to $6000 less than previous entry-level variants in both ranges, but are only available with 19ft couple or bunk family layouts.

They come fitted with the basic leaf spring suspension and 50mm ball coupling set-up, and single 100Ah AGM battery with 200W rooftop solar, and are well equipped inside with a rooftop air conditioner, microwave, 171 litre fridge, 28in TV and innerspring mattress, among other camping comforts.

"The Escape still retains all the product enhancements already found in MY24 Road Owl and Manta Ray, including improved furniture, soft close hinges, extended A-frame, European cupboard and door handles, alcoves in the bedroom with 12v and 240v power, wireless charging pads and LED strip lighting throughout," the big-selling Melbourne manufacturer said.

Meanwhile, the latest MY24 Road Owl and Manta Ray pop-tops boast an all-new roof design system, featuring a domed composite roof panel, unique aluminium body top and specially designed roof surrounds. New Age says the new roof system is designed to provide additional strength and promote drainage.

The pop-top range also benefits from other MY24 updates that are being rolled out across the New Age range, including a number of new and improved internal features.

Available in Standard or Adventurer spec, the MY24 Road Owl pop-top range comes in two 18ft bunk ensuite variants, while the latest Manta Ray pop-top range is available in two 16ft ensuite twin berth options.

New Age is also offering further savings with a special deal currently available on all MY24 model purchases made up until January 31, 2024. Buyers will receive $500 of free fuel, along with a three-year bumper to hitch warranty, three-year scheduled free servicing, and three-year free roadside assist.

"That’s over $3000 worth of value with no additional financial costs on a new caravan," New Age said.
