Emma and Stuart Kendall travelled from Perth to Sydney in an electric campervan to reduce emissions and fuel costs. A 2026 report from RV insurer CIL found that rising fuel prices are prompting grey nomads to shorten itineraries and choose closer destinations. Caravan and camping trips hit a record 17.3 million in 2025, but average trip length fell to 3.4 nights. AdventurEV campervans start at $120,000 for a 5.5-metre model and go up to $250,000 for 4WD conversions; charging at powered sites provides up to 400 kilometres of range.
