Custom Crafted Vans, based in Boise, Idaho, has completed its 59th project, a camper van conversion based on an AWD Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with a 170-inch wheelbase. The interior features a motorized platform bed, a kitchen with an oven and refrigerator, a bathroom without a toilet, and an electrical system with an 810 Ah battery bank and a 3,000 W inverter. Power comes from 400 W solar panels, shore power, and alternator charging. The owners plan to take the vehicle to Alaska.

Caravan and campervan registrations in Australia reached nearly 938,000 in 2025, up 32% since 2019. Australians took a record 17.3 million caravan and camping trips in 2025, according to Tourism Research Australia. A 2025 Australian Seniors Grey Gap Year report found 90% of older Australians say holidays are becoming more expensive. Nick and Therese Bikeman bought a new Volkswagen campervan for $100,000 in late 2020; their compact van with dark tinting, solar panels and bike racks allows flexible travel without towing a caravan or booking campsites.

The Land and Environment Court of New South Wales ruled that Josh Hines and Manu Bon cannot continue living in a motorhome on a property in Coolagolite without the required development consent. Property owner Gordon Kelly allowed the couple to place the motorhome on his land, zoned for primary production, in 2023; after a public complaint, Bega Valley Shire Council said last year the structure was used as permanent housing without approval. The court found the motorhome could legally fall under the definition of a caravan even if it resembles a regular house, but that this status does not bypass NSW land-use legislation; the council could not lawfully require demolition of the caravan because it is not a building. Under NSW law, one caravan can be placed on a property without council approval if it is associated with an occupied house, used by members of the household, and the land already has an approved main dwelling.

Bookings for the additional capacity of the new Spirit of Tasmania IV and V, scheduled to begin service on October 31, are not yet available. Operator TT-Line is only selling tickets up to the capacity of the old ships, limiting availability for cars and caravans. As of September 9, the next available sailing for a car and caravan from Geelong to Devonport is February 21, with no availability from February 22 to April 18. TT-Line plans to release full capacity after testing and commissioning of the gantry.

Australian company Headspace Campers has unveiled a converted Toyota HiAce 4×4. The off-road camper features 300 mm of ground clearance, a winch, a snorkel, and steel bumpers. Inside, it has a slide-out kitchen with an induction hob, a shower with hot water, and a spacious bed in the pop-up roof. The conversion starts at A$18,950, with the base vehicle and four-wheel-drive system priced separately.
