Dreamline
We purchased our Dreamline model JB 16192 in August 2016 and have travelled long distances in it on the whole we are very pleased with it however the main door has given us trouble since day one.
We have replaced the the handles twice and now the lock has gone on it.
We were unable to unlock it,and now have no lock and unable to join 2 doors together.Extremely disappointing. Purchased at Newcastle.
Purchased in August 2021.

Awesome Caravan
We picked up our new Dirt RoaderExtreme and are extremely happy with it. The attention to detail in all aspects is Outstanding. We did a factory tour of JB in Melbourne and are so pleased we did it. It gave us total peace of mind to see the way they were built and the quality control. Also the handover was excellent. They went through everything it detail. It tows perfectly. All in all we could not be happier and we are very impressed with JB. Thank you.

Perfect
Picked up our Extreme in May 2018. Everything was perfect, everything working. Have now done thousands of kilometres and have had nothing go wrong. Would buy another.
They simply are Just Brillant.

Service could not of been better
Don’t normally rate. But found this service excellent. Van was good but service was great. Had a few small issues that you would expect with a second hand van. They went above and beyond. Walter especially. The handover of the van was extremely thorough

As the name says Just Brilliant!.
My wife and I have recently taken delivery of our 2017 Milano. 23.6 looks awesome and tows perfectly.
We could not be more happy with the service, design and quality of the workmanship.
We looked at many different brands of caravans over a two year period and kept going back to JB nothing came close to the JB brand.
The staff at Caboolture are a pleasure to deal with and Dan bent over backwards on several occasions to meet our needs. We would in particular like to thank Brendan for all his help throughout the last two years of our research on the JB brand.
If you are thinking of buying a new or used caravan you owe it to yourself to at least have a look at this brand.
Thanks JB could not be happier.
Jo & Andre.

Top quality Australian built OFF ROAD rig.
My wife and I have owned & lived in this limited edition (scorpion) since December 2016 (5 months).
I can honestly say that I am yet to find any problems with the quality of the build (I have looked hard) and the finish is absolutely fabulous throughout. My wife loves it!
Nothing cheap and nasty has been incorporated into this rig, everything is very high quality, for instance the sound system is a Fusion marine set including an ipod dock and outdoor head unit that enables sound system control from outside. This Fusion system would have to co...Read more

Best We Have Seen and Great Service
After 10 years with an off-road camper we inspected 7 well known caravan factories and ended up at JB. Its factory and attention to detail the best we had seen. Proceeded to order the Scorpion. Sales staff (Justin, at the time) could not have done more for us. So knowledgeable and helpful. The van has been JB (just brilliant). Traveled most places in OZ with prolonged stays in remote areas. The electrics arrangement is so good and allows so much freedom. After 3 years the ongoing servicing and attention to repairs has been exceptional. I cannot...Read more
imagine any company doing better. Jody at Heatherbrae has been great, while Glen (and Dale) in Melbourne have been outstanding. They are keen, listen, suggest solutions then complete the work to craftsman quality. My wife gave Glenn a hug on last visit she was so happy with JBs work. She doesn't give away hugs freely.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great Caravan and you can't beat JB for Service
We went to the Victorian Caravan and Camping show back in February to research the caravan market. We saw many and it was clear that JB Caravans manufactured a product which was superior both in quality and competitive in price. We followed up with a factory tour at Heatherbrae and this re-enforced our opinion of this manufacturer.
Fit and finish are excellent. There was some warranty work required involving the batteries. What really surprised us was how quickly JB came to the party and resolved this issue....Very Impressed!!

Can't improve on JB
We viewed literally hundreds of caravans before settling on our Milano 3 years ago and to this day still have not found anything better, we couldn't be happier. Yes, we did encounter a leak issue however as soon as Melbourne Warranty Manager Glenn recognised the issue went back to the build time, there was no hesitation in a complete/extensive repair at no cost to us even though it was well outside warranty. I have never experienced service like it. We have lived in it full time as our home since purchase..the 23 sq/ft of bench space suit my wi...Read more
fe's cooking needs, it tows like a dream and offers the most user friendly layout that we couldn't improve on. If you have an issue with JB, just politely ask for help and see what happens....Just BRILLIANT.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

JB caravan update
We have given the 21ft Dirtroader a warranty shakedown. Just been to Flinders Ranges, Birdsville and now on way back to BRISBANE.
This trip has been 6,000 K and the van has been fantastic. Went on rough and dust roads. The only dust to penetrate was through the fridge vent, which is my issue and not JB's. So all in all the quality and finish and strength cannot be question. Would have no problem recommending this van.

JB caravans are just that - JUST BRILLIANT
We recently purchased a 20ft 6 Scorpion from JB Caravans at Caboolture. The sales and delivery staff were excellent and attended to our every wish. We took it for a shakedown on the dustiest and roughest roads we could find. Absolutely no problems and not one sign of any dust inside whatsoever (can't say the same for the outside). Since had a service and their staff could not do enough for us. Should be named JTB - JUST THE BEST.

Pre delivery checks very poor
Flooring holes not sealed solar incorrectly wired, brake cable rubbing against tyre, cheap batteries, shockers not suited to off road van, all strip lighting had to be replaced, we have had huge costs all extra within two years that we should not have had to endure. Two chargers have been replaced which could have been avoided if pre delivery check had been done. Very disappointing

No Stabilizer Bars Not Satisfactory
Take care when taking delivery of your JB. I was badly advised. When the van was hitched to my Disco 2 the ball weight was so heavy that the tow bar was almost scraping the ground. The workmen then turned my tow bar over, so it was higher off the ground and I was sent on my way; with my front wheels only just on the ground. I then had to make my own arrangements to have stabilizer bars attached. This should have been done pre delivery as I believe I was not roadworthy when I left the factory. Staff in Queensland told me they always fit stabilizer bars, so why not the factory in Melbourne.
This is simply not satisfactory.

JB Dreamline Experience
It is now 12 Months since we took delivery of our new JB 206 Dreamline Caravan.
We have previously brought 3 new vans and were very particular about layout and
quality when purchasing this new Caravan.
This JB product satisfied all our requirements and our experience through Quoting,
Purchasing and Delivery went to plan and was handled very easily and professionally.
We travelled to Central Queensland on our first trip and were delighted with the way
the caravan handled.
All the fittings were of very good quality, a problem with the microwave oven was
quickly sorted out with a phone call to JB. A new microwave was delivered to us
in a caravan park at Woodgate Qld.

Dishonest Salesman!!!
I recently purchased a used van only 2 year old, guaranteed it was in excellent condition.When towing van empty it fish tailed madly near causing an accident on freeway.Contacted salesman his remedy was just manually operate trailer brakes!!!!!!Contacted previous owner and found out the problem was there from day one.He told me he was sick of the lack of interest in trying to get it fixed and traded it on another van,and low and behold it was the same salesman who sold it to me as sold it new,knowing full well of the serious problem with the van. Beware of jb sales people they prepared to tell you anything to get a sale!!!!!

JB Caravan 20ft Dirt Roader
We purchased our new van and took delivery in November 2014. We are happy with our caravan, it tows and handles well. We are extremely happy with the layout. It does have a number of minor things that require attention but I think that is with most new vans. We have been extremely happy with the service given by the Caboolture Team both from the ordering and handover of the van to the service department. Spoke to the Service Department person today and he was very obliging and assured us that the warranty work will be completed. He was mor...Read more
e than happy to book the van in at a time to suit us to have these minor repairs rectified. The service shown to us this far has been very professional and we feel confident that the repairs will reflect the same. Just returned our van to JB Caravans Caboolture for a number of little things to be fixed under warranty. Must say we drove away feeling confident that these problems would be handled professionally. Couldn't fault the team at JB Caboolture.2 comments
Picked up the van this week. What a great service given by Bill and the team at JB Caravans Caboolture. We are delighted with the finish and minor repairs that have been done. We have no hesitation in recommending the team at Canoolture.
We've had this caravan now for 11 months and continue to be very happy with it. There has never been any question in having warranty work completed promptly.

Very very bad caravans
You can tell everything cheap in the caravans we have bought caravan from this campony I would not recommend to anybody. They caravans leak and having brake problem the stove doesn't work. We have paid $59,000 and many many problems we come cross. Until they sold us the van they were very very help full after the problems started 3 months time we spoke the owner [name removed] they are very very unproffecinal and they asked us to pay money to get it fixed when it was still under warranty. We are disgusted I wouldnt not recommend this campony to anybody our other friend also had similar problems. Very bad customer service.
Leaking water stove didint work brake wasn't working
