Original source: wangarattachronicle.com.au

RV World, a locally owned family dealership, will showcase a wide range of Australian-made caravans at the RV World Wodonga Caravan Show, running from July 31 to August 2 at Wodonga Racecourse. The event comes as the industry faces a market correction with rising costs, softer demand, and competition from cheaper imports, leading to several business closures. General manager Tom O'Connor emphasized the importance of buying from a local dealer that offers ongoing support, including servicing and parts.
