A jam-packed line-up of many of Australia's biggest and most popular caravan and RV brands will display their latest products at next month's Victorian Caravan & Camping Supershow.
Scheduled to be held over five days at the Melbourne Showgrounds from February 21 to 25, the first major 'supershow' of the Australian RV calendar year will see close to 100 RV brands on display at the Melbourne Showgrounds, along with another 100 or so other exhibitors spruiking various camping equipment, accessories, caravan parks and other tourist attractions.
Some of Australia's best known caravan manufacturers will be at the show including Jayco, New Age, Crusader, Lotus, Supreme, Nova, Royal Flair, Retreat, JB, Avan, Essential, Wonderland, Masterpiece and Atlantic.
While fast-growing imported brands including Ezytrail, Austrack, Stoney Creek, MDC, Mars, Maverick and Star Vision are also expected to put on big displays of their latest models at the annual Supershow.
The premium Aussie camper trailer segment will be represented by the likes of Cub, Ultimate, Mountain Trail, and Goldstream, with Conqueror, Hardkorr, Lumberjack, and Opus among the imported camper brands.
Those looking for a top-shelf Aussie-built off-road hybrid will be pleased to hear that Mountain Trail, Pioneer, Track Trailer, and Trakmaster will also have their latest models on display, while Achtung, Frontline, Sunliner, Trakka, Avida, Nova, Skyline, Avida, Suncamper, Winnebago, Adria, Red Centre and Wirraway are among the growing number of campervan and motorhome brands that will be at the event.
While those shopping for a slide-on camper will be pleased to hear that Trailblazers, Jackson Carry Me Camper, MW Toolboxes, Tailgate and Trayon also have exhibitor stands. Melbourne-based TerraGlide will also display its innovative new caravan suspension at the Supershow for the first time.
Some notable omissions on this year's exhibitor list include Victorian off-road camper trailer builder Vista RV, and Queensland's Trackabout, Lifestyle and Patriot Campers.
Meanwhile, Australia's biggest RV manufacturer Jayco is expected to display its latest updated 2024 models including the possibility of a fresh-look wind-up camper range.
Caravan Industry Victoria is yet to announce the major prize in the annual 'Passport to Freedom' competition, but it says on the official show website that a new Off Grid Campground will join the RV Master Stage, Adventure Zone and Kids Zone among the free show attractions.
The show is also expected to feature educational sessions from keynote speakers, towing demonstrations, and possibly a vintage vans display, although the full daily schedule is still to be announced.
