The best caravan trips aren't always the big family holidays. Sometimes it's just a few vans, a loose plan, and a group of people who've known each other long enough to not need an itinerary.

The Newlands range is built for exactly this. Come and have a look at what we've got on the floor and start planning something worth talking about.

You've been on your feet all day. Walked the track, packed up the camp, driven a couple of hours to the next spot. The last thing you want is to fold yourself into a tight dinette for the rest of the evening.
The club lounge layout changes that completely. Comfortable seating, room to actually stretch out, and a space that feels relaxed rather than functional. It's one of those features that sounds like a luxury until you have it, and then you can't imagine going back.

Come and sit in one. You'll know straight away.

The Generation 2 Family 216 is loaded with everything you actually need before you even start customising.

Come down and walk through it yourself, or flick Ben a message.

Most people don't think about their caravan battery until it stops working at the worst possible time. Deep cycle batteries typically last 3 to 5 years, but how you treat them makes a big difference. Keep them charged between trips, avoid running them flat, and if you're on a standard AGM battery, check the water levels regularly.

Do that and you'll get the most out of every trip before a replacement is due.

Travelling with kids means you want to know everything is sorted before you leave the driveway. The Family Tourister 650 comes standard with electric brakes to all wheels, a Breaksafe breakaway safety system, a reverse camera with monitor, a smoke detector and fire extinguisher, and double glazed windows with integrated flyscreens throughout.
Plus a Crimsafe security door and a three-point locking entry.

You can focus on the trip. The van's got the rest handled.

Your mid-size SUV can tow this.

Newlands Tourister 600 sits at 2.2 ton, making it our smallest double axle van and one that works with vehicles most Kiwi families already own.

Available in a family bunk layout or a couples configuration, it's spacious, well-built, and consistently one of our most popular models on the lot.

Reach out to Ben to talk through whether it suits your setup.

Not every caravan gives the whole family room to actually sit down together.

The club lounge, available on selected Newlands Family Tourister models, changes that. It's roomy, it's comfortable, and it makes a real difference on longer trips when everyone needs somewhere to land at the end of the day.

If you're more of an L-shape person, that option is available across other models in the range too. Two great options depending on how your family uses the space. Come in and try them both.

There's something about pulling up to a new spot, unhitching, and stepping into a space that actually feels like home. The TR22 is built for exactly that. Rear club lounge, full kitchen, washing machine, reverse cycle air con, and a 6'8" ceiling that makes it feel like you're living large no matter where you've parked up.

This is the van for people who want to go further without giving anything up.
