Absolute lemon
We bought our van in 2013, we were initially happy with it, only having done a few short trips. After a couple of longer trips however, we’ve had to fix the water pipes underneath the van 3 times broken traveling dirt roads. The outside vent cover over fridge flew off going down the highway and to top it off the A part of the frame behind tow hitch broke almost completely through on both sides, the only thing that stopped it breaking completely is the tool box on the front. Newage want nothing to do with it as they say we have impacted somethin...Read more
g, that’s absolute rubbish. The van has only done about 20000 ks, and we paid extra at the time for heavy duty frame etc. Clearly newage doesn’t stand behind their product. If your looking for a new van steer clear of newagePurchased in November 2021 for $70,000.00.

Stress fractures around inside of front window on Oz Classic 2014 Model
Ourselves and friends both bought Oz Classics within 3 months of each other and both have serious fractures around the front window which lets in the rain while travelling. Our friends have now traded theirs in on another Brand and we are in process of ding the same. I see that New Age have deleted the window on some of the later vans. We love our van and have done over 80000 kms since new but would have been an expensive exercise to fix it.Lets hope caravan manufacturers can fix the problem without removing the window.

Great van but a couple of small things not considered
Caravan beautiful. Design fault with the T.V. not fixed with big enough screws so consequently move it and it falls into your hands. Needs a permanent fix. All else fantastic.

Our Second New Age Oz Classic 20E
We recently traded in our 2012 Oz Classic 20 for a 2015 Oz Classic 20E. We travelled about 40K in our old van and only had one warrantly issue caused by faulty sealing of a hatch which was repaired under warranty. Our new van has a number of improvements particularly in the electrical installation side. As well as a numer of extras (solar, oil heating, generator, 50mm chassis riser, reversing camera, Al-Ko ESC). We've travelled about 5000Km without any issues. The vans fitting are all quality caravan standard fittings and the finish of furniture and fittings is excellent. While not the cheapest vans on the market, New Age Caravans are solid quality built and one of the best in the industry.

We got a lemon
We ordered our Oz Classic 22 from a show in Bundaberg from a representative from New Age. As we planned to travel full time for at least two years we ordered recliner chairs for more comfort. (first mistake) We believe we should have been told that they take up so much room in the galley and the table is so narrow that it's hard to put two plates on it, and overall very uncomfortable.
We took delivery of our new van in February 2015 and started our trip around Australia in May 2015. Our first day on the road we discovered we couldn't drink any...Read more

New Age Oz Classic
Hi guys,
My wife and I are looking at buying a new Majestic Knight Caravan or possibly a Lotus Freelander or maybe even a New age Oz Classic and wanting to do an around Australia trip and hopefully will be doing a reasonable amount of free camping, so just not sure which van would be better suited for all terrain!!! All seem to have very good finishes and features but hopefully could get some feedback (good or bad) from people who may have owned one of these brands and it could help us to make a decision!!

I purchased this van early 2012 from Little Joeys Epping. It was a display van and I got a great deal ! Then I towed it home to prepare for work around Aus trip. Before leaving, I set up the bed with new linen to show off, luckily I did not sleep in it, as it rained that night, so when I looked in next morning, the bed was wet and dripping into drawers underneath! Inspection of Camec 4 seasons hatch revealed poor design and manufacture coupled with poor installation.(it does not need a whole tube of silicon to seal anything. This event pretty ...Read more
well sums up the next 12 months! I did not realise how naïve I was until I met the local repair man. Any one wishing to buy their dream van should talk to any caravan repair business and have their dream bought back to reality! Poor design and manufacture coupled with shoddy workmanship runs out of control in the caravan industry.. To try and explain the issues I have I will start at the tow hitch and do a walk around of my van. *The Alco tow hitch. It is a silly thing, having unnecessary revolving and tumbling aspects making hook up difficult, particularly after the little plastic thing shot off into the garden, broken, my fault, I bumped it. What is wrong with a simple tow ball? The hand brake works well. *The Alco jockey wheel. The 2 mounting brackets handle bolts had to be cut shorter to install/ remove as they clashed. *The draw bar mounted tap.The plumbing was damaged by a stone when the stone guard fell off, probably got hit by a stone! This did not matter as it all had to be shifted to install the EZE Lift kit I was "sold" that I simply did not need on my Land Cruiser tray ute. Salesmanship! *The aluminium Front Boot. Lid welds were cracked from new, not a problem.Purchased in February 2021.

We are thinking of purchasing a second hand 2014 New Age Deluxe 16 foot caravan and would like to know what people think good or bad - also would like to know how the towing is for a single axle, concerned van may sway a bit? Awaiting some reviews. TIA
4 answers
Hi Joanne before buying get someone to totally check it out. We unfortunately bought a lemon and it was brand new. Regarding a single axle I wouldn't have one mainly due if you get a blowout your in trouble. There are so many good secondhand vans out there so take your time.
cheers
Ben
Thank you so much for your quick response Cheers
i swaer every person that buys a caravan in this day and age has i quote "bought a lemon", get real people you are buying a house on wheels with several factors that expand at all diffiebt rates ie alloy, timber, plastic, rubber and fibre glass. if you are expecting a bmw or merc then you shouldnt buy a caravan it is camping after all so you do rough it a little
