New campervans for sale in Australia | 2024

Camper vans Australia – Whats for sale in 2024

We don’t just talk about van conversions here, we also love some of the new campervans for sale in Australia.

While they don’t have that unique and totally personalised feeling of van conversions, they are a fantastic option for those that don’t have the time or inclination to convert their own van; but do have the cash to spend on a brand new camper van.

And there is something special about having a slick new motorhome where everything is finished and all you need to do is get in and drive away.

So I’ve scoured the internet for small campervans for sale here in Australia and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at just how many manufacturers there are.

The cost for a new campervan in Australia is between $85,000 for a relatively basic model which includes a bathroom, kitchen and sleeping quarters for 2 – right up to $200,000+ for a high end 4WD model.

For this list we’ve only included camper van manufacturers that seem to have a fairly large national presence and you can buy their vans at dealers.

Let’s dive in! But heads up, it’s a fairly long post, so you may wanna use the table of contents below for reference.

Horizon Motorhomes

HorizonMotorhomes.com.au

Horizon Motorhomes specialise in motorhomes in the 6-7m length, and have a pretty big range built on the Fiat Ducato and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, so you’re going to be spoilt for choice!

Melaleuca 

The Melaleuca is Horizon Motorhomes biggest seller, and I can see why. It has all the comforts and conveniences of any new camper van, but it’s the least expensive in their range. 

Built on the Fiat Ducato LWB it comes in at just under 6m, so it’s small enough to get into most parking spaces, but big enough for 2 people.

There is a house battery with DC-DC multi-stage 12v battery charger, so you can free camp if you want to, and add solar if you need.

Casuarina 

Built on the Fiat Ducato  XLWB the ‘xtra’ length in the wheel base allows for a bigger bathroom (the largest one in the Horizon range), a bigger galley and more storage space. 

Banksia 

With the extra seat at the front of the Banksia, it now enables 3 people to travel together, but it also opens up the living / dining space so that now 3 people can sit around the table.

Space is sacrificed in the bathroom and galley though, with the wardrobe/pantry removed and the fridge size reduced to an under-counter option.

Wattle 

The Wattle is built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter LWB and it also has the option of 4×4. 

You’ll see that the layout is very similar to the Casuarina (I mean, they’re all pretty similar) with the larger bathroom, galley and storage space.

Waratah 

If single beds are your preference, but you also want to be able to transport another passenger, the Waratah layout may be the right fit for you.

Boronia

Also on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, the Boronia only comes in the 4×4 option; so it’s a little number that is built for the off road.

Trakka

Trakka.com.au

It’s so refreshing to come across a camper van that has some unique features, that no one else has… yet.

The Trakka range of campervans is exactly that.

They have an awesome slide away toilet (to make more room in the shower), double hinged fridge so you can open it from either side, a second fridge that swivels to the outside, a workbench that can be attached to the outside of the sliding door, and other neat tricks.

Totally worth checking out if you’re after something luxury AND unique.

I recommend having a look at their website. Even if you’re not actually in the market for a camper van, but you just love looking at RVs that have some new and innovative ideas. 

Trakkadu

The Trakkadu looks like the quintessential camper van. With it’s small boxy shape and that pop up roof, it has strong visual connections to the VW Kombi which was so popular in the 70’s and 80’s.

Those connections aren’t just visual though; the similarity begins with the base vehicle as the Trakkadu is built on the Volkswagen T6.1 Transporter.

The are 2 variants of the Trakkadu – The 340 and 450.

Akuna

Built on the Volkswagen Crafter, the Akuna comes in 2 lengths and 3 different layouts.

Akuna A2M

The A2M layout is built on the medium wheel base and is a bit of a departure from their other layouts. It looks like the bathroom no longer includes the ‘hideaway toilet’, and the kitchen has the portable induction stove rather than the diesel cooker; but the beds are easily converted to whatever layout suits you best.

Akuna A2

Built on the Volkswagen Crafter LWB the Akuna layout is very similar to the now discontinued Torino, but at 6.84m it’s a bit longer.

Akuna A4

Adding 2 seats gives this camper van the versatility of taking passengers when you need to, and being able to have guests for a drink or a meal and everyone has a seat.

It still only sleeps 2, but having the extra seats may be a game changer for some.

Jabiru

And now we come to my favourite of the Trakka vans, the Jabiru. Built on the ever popular Mercedes Sprinter, these all come with an AWD option.

Jabiru J2M

Again, it’s the smallest of the range that has taken my fancy. The north/south beds are what really sell it for me, and I’m amazed that they’ve been able to fit them in when it’s only a MWB length. (Although the beds are only 1.9m long, so they’re still gonna be too short for some people.)

Jabiru J2

Another campervan suitable for 2 people, the Jabiru J2 is built for people that love the luxury and don’t plan on heading off the beaten (although there is the AWD option for those that want it.)

Jabiru J4

Another 4 seater / 2 sleeper version built on the Mercedes Sprinter LWB.

Jayco

Jayco.com.au

Jayco must be one of the biggest manufacturers of caravans here in Australia; but you might be surprised to learn that they do have a small range of motorhomes and Jayco campervans for sale.

JRV Campervan

RM19-1

Built on the Renault Master 

FD 19-1

Built on the Fiat Ducato

FD 19-4

I’m loving this new model from Jayco! The FD 19-4 is built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, but with the addition of the pop-top there is now sleeping space in the loft for the kids. It really makes this a great option for families.

MS 22-2

Built on the Mercedes Sprinter 

Optimum Campervan

MS.22-2

The Optimum looks to be the upgraded (i.e. ‘optimum’) version of the MS 22-2. The layout and most of the specs are the same, but with some more high end features.

VW.22-1

New to the Optimum range is the VW.22-1 – a Volkwagen Crafter that has a similar layout as the MS.22-2 but with the added benefit of one more passenger seat (for a total of 4 seats).

All-Terrain Campervan

Once again, the All-Terrain is the same layout as the JRV MS 22-2 and the Optimum MS 22-2 but with the added bonus of being AWD. 

Avida

AvidaRV.com.au

The electric roll down bed is a game-changer for me.

Previously, the idea of having to lower a table (well, first clean the table), play tetris with the cushions, make the whole bed from scratch (fitted sheets and all) and then get to sleep on a higglety-pigglety mattress with seams going every which way, did not appeal to me!

Having the bed (already made!) lower down from the roof, takes away all that annoyance!

Escape

The Avida Escape and the Jayco JRV FD 19-4 (above) are the campervans in Australia that caters for families AND includes a bathroom.

And they do it quite elegantly. That electric roll down bed makes it an easy switch from spacious family dining/lounging area into two adult sized singles on the bottom and a double bed on the top.

Diversion

The new Diversion also has the electric down bed, there are only 2 belted seats so it’s really designed for a couple.

Winnebago

www.gowinnebago.com.au

Winnebago have their own manufacturing plant here in Australia; so of course their motorhome model names are based on some of our iconic beaches. The camper van is known as the Bondi.

Bondi 2S FB

This fixed bed model is perfect for a couple. While you could be forgiven for thinking the dinette is extra seating, these are not seat-belted, so the camper van remains a seating and sleeping van for two.

Bondi 4S

The Bondi 4S has seating for 4 people, and sleeps 2.

Avan

www.Avan.com.au

The Avan Applause camper vans are different from all the other campers in that the bathroom is a nice design; it’s not just pure functionality, it looks good too!

I have to admit that the shower does look a bit squishy, but the bathroom isn’t all practical with no style. 

Applause 500

Applause 600

With the off set single beds this layout is quite different to most others. But it looks like a great layout and use of space if you don’t have to sleep right next to your partner.

Windsor

https://www.windsorrvs.com.au/

Windsor is a newcomer in the motorised RV scene, but they’ve been producing caravans since 2019. The two Windsor campervans below are part of the suite of RVs manufactured by Apollo.

Otway

Built on the Fiat Ducato LWB mid roof, the Otway is a versatile campervan that has the very functional bed/garage conversion configuration.

Waveline

This, and the Camplify Luxe Cruiser, are the only campervans I know of that are built on the LDV Deliver 9 chassis. The LDVs are becoming more and more popular so I’m interested to see if other manufacturers follow suit.

Nova Motorhomes / Emu RV

www.emuRV.com

E2S / E4S

Emu RV has teamed up with Nova Motorhomes (you may be more familiar with the caravan manufacturing side of their business) to create a camper van built on the Fiat Ducato LWB or XLWB.

Kimberley Kampers

https://kimberleykampers.com.au/

Kruisewagen

Kimberley Kampers are better known for their unique looking caravans, but they’ve entered the motorised campers market and hit it out of the park with their off road campervan.

The Kruisewagen is built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis and it includes some neat features that really make this one stand out from the crowd.

Most notable to me is the drop down electric bed. I love being able to have a large dinette area, but I love even more the fact that making the bed doesn’t involve a game of tetris to convert the dinette!

Camplify

https://vansales.camplify.com.au/

We have a new addition to the line-up, and though it’s from a large company in Australia, they’re not known for selling campervans… but for renting them out.

Camplify is a platform where owners of campervans, caravans and motorhomes can to rent them out to anyone; and there are loads of RVs to choose from, all over Australia.

But Camplify have partnered up with some manufacturers and they now have a small range of RVs for sale. They’ve got two campervans and … well, I’ll let you see them for yourself:

Luxe Cruiser

I’m just in love with this beauty. It’s like my favourite van conversion… without having to do the conversion (!) AND without it being second hand.

The Luxe Cruiser has everything that’s important to me; like the toilet & shower, aircon, a bed that can fit a tall husband and plenty of battery/solar.

But she also has features that aren’t on the ‘need’ list, but are definitely on the ‘want’ list: the shiplap walls, that gorgeous wood ceiling, the tiling around the sink and the butcher block countertop… all things that make her look like a home, rather than a vehicle.

Anyway, that’s just my take on her, what do you think?

Summer Series

This small camper is built on the LDV G10+ and it’s very similar to the Toyota Tarago campervans that Jucy rent out… without the gawdy purple and green that screams rental vehicle, of course.

There are more small companies that manufacture campervans, but they can be a bit tough to find online; or the information that is available online is a little bit scant. But I have done my research and you can see these Small Campervan Brands here.

Adria Twin

https://au.adria-mobil.com/twin-campervan

The Adria Twin is not manufactured in Australia, but I’ve decided to include this camper van in our lineup simply because I’m seeing quite a few new ones for sale here.

It may well be on your radar already so it’s worth comparing it with all the others.

I’ve created a spreadsheet with ALL the vans and campervans that can be bought new in Australia.

I think I’ve reached the end of this Google rabbit hole, are there any other Australian campervans for sale that I should have included in this list? Let me know in the comments!

With the costs of these new campervans, if you have the time, skills and patience, it would be a lot cheaper to convert your own campervan rather than buy one new.

That way, you can have it exactly the way that you want it, and if you do the work yourself, you’ll have a much better idea of how to fix things if they break.

Here’s some info on the best vans for conversion to campervans and then have a look at our post on van conversion companies.
