Snowy River Caravans Brings 48V Power To Its Biggest Update Yet

Snowy River Caravans has unveiled its MY27 range, and the brand isn’t underselling it – this is the broadest set of changes it has introduced in a single model year. New colour themes, new layouts and models, upgraded specification across the board, and – for the first time – 48V power, engineered specifically for the way Australians travel.

The MY27 range will make its public debut at Melbourne Leisurefest 2026, running from October 1 to 4 at Sandown Racecourse in Victoria, with the SRT, SRH and SRM ranges all on display.

MY27 touches almost every part of the Snowy River line-up. Refreshed interior and exterior colour schemes give the range a new look inside and out, while new floorplans and configurations are designed around the way people actually travel, with more models to choose from so there’s a layout to suit every trip.

Build and fit-out specifications have been upgraded across the board too, raising the standard for the range overall. But the headline change is under the skin: the introduction of 48V power to select models, with a wider rollout across the range to follow.

Most caravans on the market still run on 12V systems, a standard largely inherited from automotive electrics rather than designed around the demands of modern touring. A 48V architecture carries power more efficiently through the same cabling, reducing energy loss and giving a caravan more usable capacity for the appliances and accessories that make off-grid travel comfortable.

To bring 48V power to life, Snowy River Caravans partnered with BMPRO, a long-standing Australian power systems specialist with decades of experience in the local caravan and RV industry. Rather than adapting an existing 12V platform, the two companies engineered a system specifically for the MY27 range from the ground up. It’s built for Snowy, not retrofitted to it.

That distinction matters for buyers. A system designed around a specific caravan’s layout, battery placement and appliance load is better placed to deliver consistent performance than an off-the-shelf solution adapted after the fact.

Snowy River Caravans designs and engineers its vans in Australia, for Australian conditions, from remote off-grid tracks to everyday touring. That local focus extends to the BMPRO partnership: a power system built with an understanding of how Australians actually use their caravans, rather than one adapted from a market with different conditions and expectations.

It’s a proposition aimed squarely at buyers who want a premium feel without a premium price. Snowy River positions the MY27 48V models as one of the more accessible ways into 48V power on the market, whether that’s a couple upgrading their first van, a family after more layout flexibility, or a tradie who wants reliable off-grid capability without the compromises of an ageing 12V system.

The MY27 range, including the SRT, SRH and SRM models, will be on display at Melbourne Leisurefest 2026 at Sandown, Victoria, from October 1 to 4 at site A01 and C41. It’s the first chance for the public to see the new colours, layouts and 48V power system in person, and to talk to the Snowy River team about which model suits their travel plans.

For buyers who’ve been waiting for 48V power to reach a caravan without a 48V price tag, MY27 is worth putting on the calendar.
