Victorian Caravan Supershow ready to roll

Almost 15 months after the last outdoor version, around 190 exhibitors will gather for the 2021 Victorian Caravan, Camping and Touring Supershow, held at the Sandown Racecourse from May 13-16.

While Jayco will be among the 'no shows', there will be dozens of other well-known caravan brands on display including Atlantic, Avan, Coromal, Crusader, Elite, Goldstream, Lotus, Masterpiece, Nova, and Supreme.

Among the 'must-see' exhibits, New Age caravans is expected to have a special 'Walkinshaw research and development' caravan on display, fitted with some new high-tech features that the automotive specialist and New Age owner has been evaluating over the past 12 months.

Also expected to attract plenty of attention will be some display caravans fitted with the latest AL-KO Tow Assist caravan safety system, with the possibility of some 'real life' demonstrations of the world-first anti-lock braking system on the closed track.

Among the camper trailer brands attending the Melbourne Supershow are Ultimate, Trackabout, Opus, MDC, Emu, Eagle and Cub, while motorhome or campervan brands listed include Achtung Camper, Adria, Frontline, Avida, Sunliner, Winnebago, Suncamper and Trakka.

For the show-goers, there will be a number of prize packs worth more than $18,000 in total up for grabs in the Passport to Freedom competition, including a suspension, GVM or towing upgrade kit worth $5000 from Lovells; a camping kit including inflatable tent, bbq and camp chairs worth $3453 from Dometic, and an Intellisat portable satellite system valued at $2550.

Apart from a change of dates and venue, the 2021 Victorian Supershow will run under COVID-19 restrictions including capped crowd numbers, QR check-in codes and a new app 'map' in lieu of a hard-copy show guide.
