Star Vision customers in Melbourne lose deposits after showroom closure
© 7NEWS

Caravan manufacturer Star Vision has closed its showroom in Dandenong, Melbourne, and stopped responding to customer calls and emails. The company stated the closure is temporary due to a water leak, but customers who placed deposits have not received their caravans or refunds.

One customer, Renae Maher, said she paid a deposit in November and has not received a caravan or any response from the company after six months. Industry experts and the Caravan Industry Association describe this as an isolated incident and advise buyers to be cautious when choosing sellers.

Mobile Museum Brings World-Class Learning to NSW

Tweed Regional Museum launched its 'Museum on Wheels' program: a vintage caravan packed with interactive exhibits and historical artifacts embarked on a five-week tour of remote schools in northern New South Wales.
