Crusader Caravans launches Dreamhaven for Aussie adventures made simple

Soda Communications

Crusader Caravans has unveiled a new second brand, Dreamhaven, created to offer Australians greater access to high-quality, locally made caravans at an affordable price.

 

Dreamhaven combines Crusader’s decades of award-winning experience with practical design and quality full composite construction. Each caravan is built to deliver comfort, style and durability at a price that competes directly with imported models.

 

Crusader Caravans Founder and CEO Serge Valentino said the new brand was born from a clear gap in the market.

 

“We saw a real opportunity to create Aussie-made caravans that are both high-quality and affordable. The Dreamhaven range reflects our belief that caravanning should be simple, practical and accessible by more Australians,” Serge said.

 

“Dreamhaven delivers a simple range of high-quality full composite caravans, created for buyers seeking a straightforward and well-priced option. We’re talking darn good caravans at a darn good price.”

 

With models starting from just $250 per week or $68,990 RRP*, the Dreamhaven range offers an entry point for outdoor adventurers who might have previously relied on tents, cabins, camper trailers or older caravans.

 

The new product range features five layouts, with on-road and off-road versions available, for a total of 10 individual models. The range caters to all sectors of the market from solo travellers and couples, right through to families. Decades of industry know-how ensures the caravans offer everything needed; all housed in a high-quality build.   

 

• The Tourline series (On road) offers all the essentials for comfortable highway cruising and comforts for the perfect getaway.
• The Series X (Off road) offers upgraded rugged features for tackling challenging tracks, including independent suspension, without breaking the bank.

 

Crusader Caravans Managing Director Michael Paidoussis said one of the reasons Crusader has gained significant market share is due to the support for Australian manufacturing.

 

“The launch of Dreamhaven comes as Australians continue to favour products that are Australian-made and owned,” Michael said.

 

“One of our biggest strengths in the Australian caravan industry is having one of the most advanced manufacturing plants. Customers tell us they prefer to support an established local manufacturer they can rely on.”

 

The Dreamhaven range is made at the same factory as the multi-award winning Crusader Caravans. The same team of highly skilled craftspeople will apply the very same advanced techniques and trade secrets they’ve spent years perfecting. This includes their extensive expertise in full composite construction — a market-leading technique pioneered by Crusader that has redefined benchmarks within the Australian caravan industry.

 

“We don’t just assemble caravans—we manufacture them, and that makes a big difference. By backing local businesses, we’re not only keeping quality high but also creating jobs in the community. It means we can support Australians in the same way they support us, and we wouldn’t have it any other way,” Michael said.

 

The brand launch is hot on the heels of Crusader Caravans winning the 2025 Caravan Industry Victoria award for Excellence in Caravan and RV Manufacturing for the fourth time in the past six years. This auspicious award by Caravan Industry Victoria (CIV) is the highest honour in the Australian caravan industry recognising exceptional design, quality, innovation, customer service and support.

 

Dreamhaven Caravans will soon be available through a network of specialist dealers across Australia. Crusader is inviting prospective customers to register their interest via the official Dreamhaven Caravans website here to be among the first to receive further information.
