Caravan Court was established in 1957 and has been owned by the Hawkins family since 1982, employing three generations dedicated to making the most of Australia’s beautiful landscapes and destinations. They have gained unmatched experience and knowledge and have firsthand knowledge of how to see this vast continent in comfort and security.
As you’d expect for a caravan designed to reach Australia’s distant locations, the EcoTourer range is designed with local conditions in mind, using only the best Australian and internationally sourced components for reliability, low maintenance and excellent durability.
History
Production of the first Eco-Tourer began in 2002 at Caravan Court in Melbourne after years of research, development, design and engineering. Eco-Tourers were originally built in our small Melbourne factory until demand increased to the point that an alternative solution was required. Caravan Court decided to look overseas for a manufacturer and found one in China with a good reputation and experience in similar construction techniques. Most importantly, this manufacturer could meet production requirements using parts mainly sourced in Australia therefore meeting demand without compromising quality. Today our entire Eco-tourer range is assembled in Southern China with the addition of some accessories and pre-delivery taking place at our Melbourne factory. Quality control is closely monitored during regular factory visits while design and component improvements are an important ongoing process.
Over the years the range of Eco-Tourers has grown with the introduction of the Hurricane (Off Road) Model and more recently, the Slipstream (Hybrid) Model. The development of the shower/toilet floorplan was the major advancement in the range and when added to the Hurricane Model it became our most popular choice for customers.
Our most recent venture is the development of the Eco-Tourer 420. This smaller, rear opening Eco-Tourer has been designed for customers with smaller tow vehicles and tighter storage spaces.
Caravan Court is a family owned and operated business located in Melbourne’s South East. The company was established in 1957 and has now been in the same family for over 30 years, currently employing three generations.
