Tough Tvan joins Kratzmann stable

One of Australia's largest RV dealers, Kratzmann Caravans & Motorhomes, has added three more well-known brands to its multi-franchise RV retail outlet in Burpengary, Queensland.

Following the onboarding of New Age Caravans in late-2023, Kratzmann has officially announced that it is now also selling the Melbourne built Track off-road range, which includes the iconic Tvan bush camper, T4 hybrid caravan, and latest Trakmaster and Pioneer hybrid off-roaders.

The Kratzmann dealership currently has two Tvan campers on display: a 2023-build Tvan Inspire priced at $84,238, and a top-spec 'all electric' Tvan Lightning, priced at $101,450.

It also has an optioned up 2023 Trakmaster Explorer hybrid priced at $157,940, and a twin-bunk 2023 Pioneer Verve hybrid priced at $139,990.

Located just off the Bruce Highway in Burpengary East, Kratzmann is the largest as well as one of the oldest dealerships in Queensland, and now has 13 different RV brands and close to 150 camper trailers, caravans and motorhomes in total, on display at its six-hectare property which includes an indoor showroom, extensive outdoor display area and modern service centre.

The Kratzmann dealership is currently owned by RV rental and retail giant THL, which acquired Brisbane-based Apollo in 2022.

Outside of south-east Queensland, Track has seven retail outlets around Australia including its own factory-based dealership in Melbourne, and another THL-owned outlet in Western Australia, George Day Caravans.

Track is also one of a handful of Australian camper manufacturers to offer its premium homegrown campers on the US market.

“We’ve been working with THL and the team at Kratzmann for quite some time and are delighted to add our brands to the stable," Track's National Marketing and Dealer Manager, Lloyd Waldron, said.

"We have every confidence that Kratzmann will deliver a high-quality experience for our customers, through both the sale itself and with after-care including servicing and warranty.”

Melbourne-based Track was established in 1985 and is best known for its game-changing Tvan hard-wall camper, which was first produced 25 years ago and has spawned various lookalikes of its novel clam-shell, hard-roof camper design over the years.

As it has done in the past to mark other significant milestones, Track is set to launch a special 25th Anniversary-model Tvan later this year, which will follow the release of the most expensive Tvan to date, the all-electric Tvan Lightning, in early 2023.

While not currently on display, the Kratzmann dealership will also be offering Track's larger T4 hybrid caravans to Queensland buyers.

“The inclusion of Track into the Kratzmann's range of high-quality caravans was critical to the expansion plans we have in place," Kratzmann Caravans & Motorhomes Dealer Principal, Liam McCarthy, said.

"With us not having campers to offer before now, when discussions with Track commenced, we jumped at the chance at being able to showcase what we have come to known as the toughest camper on the market.

"They really do have to be seen to be believed, and we are excited to be able to represent opportunities for our customers to venture to places that only a Track will take them.”
