Room for the whole crew, and then some.

The Newlands Family Tourister 720 is a 23'6" van with a four bunk layout, built for bigger families who want to get out and explore together. The kids get their own space, you keep yours, and nobody's fighting over where they're sleeping.

At 2,530 kg tare, it's light for a van this size. With an ATM of 3,230 kg, you've got 700 kg of payload to play with, which counts for a lot when you're packing for six.

Start planning your summer now and come see it in person.

Can't find exactly what you want on the yard? You don't have to settle.

More than 50% of our vans are custom built to order. Pick your exterior colour, your suspension, your inverter setup, two, three or four bunks, even pillow top mattresses.

Pre Christmas build slots are filling fast, so if you've got a summer trip in mind it pays to get in early.

Come down and we'll go through what's possible.

Thinking about getting off the tarseal this summer?

If you want to take your van further than the main road, off road suspension is where the conversation starts, but it's actually a whole chassis upgrade. DO35 drop hitch, ratchet handbrake, and Cruisemaster independent trailing arms with coil springs and shocks.

More ground clearance, better ride over rough ground, and a lot more confidence on gravel and farm tracks.

Spring is the right time to sort it before the summer trips start. Come in and we'll talk you through what's involved.

Limited numbers, and this one's a proper family van.

The Newlands 650 Family Limited Edition comes in Mouse Grey and has a hand-picked list of upgrades already built in.

100 amp lithium battery and DC:DC charger, four Sirocco fans, black tapware and kitchen sink, grey water tank, Hawk 4in1 air fryer, hydraulic table leg, and a full padded beadhead instead of a front window.

That's around $9,000 worth of accessories included, plus 600kg of payload to actually pack for the family.

Want a van built around the way you travel?

Over 50% of our vans are custom built to order. Pick your exterior colour, suspension, inverter setup and bunk options, then add the extras that make it feel like yours, like a pillow top mattress.

If you'd rather drive away sooner, we've also got plenty on the yard, from family vans with two or three bunks to couples vans with a queen bed.

Build slots before Christmas are going quickly. Come and see us and we'll talk you through it.

The first trip of the season is the best one, as long as the van is ready for it.

After a winter parked up, it pays to check your tyres, tyre pressures and wheel nuts, and make sure all your gas connections are sound with no leaks. Fill your gas bottles too, so you're sorted when you get there.

It's simple stuff, but it's what keeps small problems from turning into a ruined weekend.

Weekends away with the whole crew shouldn't be complicated.

The Family 216 is built for exactly that, off-road ready and set up so everyone's got their own space. If you're planning family trips for the season ahead, come check this one out on the yard.

Missed us at Mystery Creek? The good news is the yard is full of options and more vans are on the way.

Family setups, couples vans and plenty in between. If a new van before summer is on the cards, come down, have a look through and we'll put a deal together on the day. Build spots before Christmas are still available, but they won't be around forever.
