Rides quietly
Suspension tuned for sealed roads, a settled tow and a hushed cabin turn a long highway leg into the easy part of the day.
On-road touring caravans.
Easy-towing on-road touring caravans for sealed roads, with a Semi Off-Road pack for gravel roads and unpowered sites.
What on-road touring demands
Sealed-road touring rewards the
things you feel every day: a van that rides quietly, lives large, tows without drama, and travels light.
Get those four right and the kilometres disappear. Get them wrong and every trip is a compromise.
Lives large
A proper bed, a real kitchen and an ensuite bathroom you actually want to use, so a week away never feels like camping.
Tows without drama
Weight sitting where it should and a sensible ball weight mean confident overtaking, tidy corners and calm reversing.
Travels light
A tare that leaves real payload for water, gear and the awning, and keeps you comfortably inside your tow vehicle’s limits.
That is a high bar. It is exactly the one New Age is built to clear.
How New Age answers it
You've seen the bar.Here is how we clear it.
Every on-road New Age is engineered around the same four things that make touring easy: how it rides, what it weighs, how it lives, and how long it lasts. Work down through them.
01 · Ride & chassis
A settled tow, on a chassis built to last
Suspension and touring wheels tuned for sealed roads soak up a long highway leg, on an AL-KO chassis built and tested in Australia, from Australian-made BlueScope steel.
In plain terms: a settled, quiet tow today, on Australian steel proven for Australian roads.
02 · Tare & payload
Light where it counts, with payload to spare
A composite build keeps tare down, so more of your tow vehicle’s capacity is left for water and your travelling gear instead of the van itself.
In plain terms: pack for the trip you actually want, and stay comfortably inside your car’s towing limits.
03 · Interior
An interior built to be lived in
A proper bed, a real kitchen and a full ensuite, finished in furniture-grade cabinetry that stays quiet and rattle-free over the kilometres.
In plain terms: a week away feels like a stay, not a compromise.
04 · Build quality
One factory, no structural timber
Designed, cut and assembled in one Campbellfield factory, with a timber-free structure that will not swell, rot or work loose the way older vans do.
In plain terms: one team owns the whole build, and there is nothing in the frame to rot.
The on-road range
Four vans,one easy tow.
From the Manta Ray to the Oz Classic, four on-road touring caravans, each easy to tow and finished to live in. Every one steps up to the Semi Off-Road pack when the road turns to gravel.
Prices are "from", in NZD, indicative and exclude on-road costs, subject to change. Semi Off-Road pack pricing is on the Semi Off-Road page.
Where it takes you
The coast, the ranges,and the long way round.
The on-road range is built for sealed roads and the places they reach. Here is a short list worth the tow, and the van that suits each one.

Quick answers
On-road touring, answered straight
The short versions of what this page covers, in one place - what an on-road caravan is, which model suits who, and the numbers that decide a tow. Confirm pricing and specs with your dealer.
An on-road caravan is a touring van built for sealed highways, caravan parks and smooth gravel: the way most of Australia travels. Because it is not carrying off-road hardware you will not use, it is lighter, easier to tow and simpler to live with. If your touring stays on the bitumen, it is the van that makes the most of it.
An on-road caravan is built for sealed highways, caravan parks and smooth gravel - easy, comfortable towing the way most of Australia travels. A semi off-road caravan is the same style of van set up to also take formed gravel, dirt roads and camping away from the crowds. Every on-road New Age can step up to the Semi Off-Road pack, so you choose the terrain, not a different van. Want that capability from the start? See the Semi Off-Road range.
The Semi Off-Road pack is an option across the on-road range, added at build, that changes what the van rides on for gravel roads and unpowered sites. Confirm the pack, and its price, for your chosen model and layout with your dealer. You can also explore all four models with the pack fitted on the Semi Off-Road range page.
New Age's on-road range publishes from-prices by model and layout, excluding on-road costs. These are indicative starting prices that vary by layout and options, including the Semi Off-Road pack; confirm current pricing with your dealer.
It comes down to who is travelling and how far you go. The Manta Ray suits two travelling light, the Road Owl is the family favourite, and the Big Red and Oz Classic are the luxury, five-star tourers. The four are lined up side by side in the comparison above.
Tare is the weight of the empty van as built. Payload is what you can legally add on top: water, gas, food and gear. ATM (aggregate trailer mass) is tare plus payload, the maximum the loaded van may weigh. Confirm loaded weights at a licensed weighbridge before towing.
The on-road range is built to tow easily, with weight sitting where it should for confident overtaking and tidy cornering. Check each model's tare, ATM and ball weight against your tow vehicle's limits, and confirm loaded weights at a weighbridge.
New Age Caravans is an Australian manufacturer headquartered in Campbellfield, Victoria, and the whole on-road range shares the same single-factory build.
