Monthly caravan and camper trailer entries
The series combines the published total from each monthly BITRE workbook. It is more useful than comparing a single month, but it remains a supply indicator rather than buyer demand.

| Month | Estimated RAV entries |
|---|---|
| July 2025 | 3,922 |
| August 2025 | 3,826 |
| September 2025 | 3,828 |
| October 2025 | 4,224 |
| November 2025 | 3,885 |
| December 2025 | 3,278 |
| January 2026 | 2,884 |
| February 2026 | 3,724 |
| March 2026 | 4,089 |
| April 2026 | 3,597 |
| May 2026 | 3,549 |
| June 2026 | 3,473 |
Reading the pattern: January was the low point in this 12-month window and October the high point. One year is not enough evidence for a durable seasonal rule, so the page does not forecast the next month.
Leading caravan and camper trailer makes
BITRE publishes makes accounting for approximately the top 80% over the previous 12 months. “Other makes” remains in the total but is excluded from this leaderboard.
| Make | June | YTD | Last 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jayco | 458 | 2,876 | 5,958 |
| Regent RV | 392 | 1,519 | 3,088 |
| Austrack Campers | 94 | 1,638 | 3,478 |
| Market Direct Campers | 208 | 1,446 | 2,463 |
| Ezytrail | 215 | 1,241 | 2,262 |
| Crusader Caravans | 131 | 706 | 1,468 |
| Stoney Creek Campers | 96 | 546 | 1,040 |
| Leader | 91 | 446 | 890 |
| Design RV | 72 | 396 | 786 |
| Supreme Caravans | 44 | 378 | 759 |
Buyer use: entry volume can indicate how much new supply a make is placing into the market. It does not measure dealer stock, delivery time, resale value, build quality or warranty performance. Those require separate evidence.
Tare-weight mix
The 2,000–3,000 kg tare bands accounted for 31,165 entries over 12 months. This concentration matters for payload and tow-vehicle planning, but tare is only the unladen starting point.
| Tare-weight band | June | Last 12 months |
|---|---|---|
| ≤500 kg | 30 | 334 |
| >500–1,000 kg | 51 | 862 |
| >1,000–1,500 kg | 239 | 3,364 |
| >1,500–2,000 kg | 377 | 5,509 |
| >2,000–2,500 kg | 1,228 | 17,157 |
| >2,500–3,000 kg | 1,266 | 14,008 |
| >3,000–3,500 kg | 216 | 2,361 |
| >3,500–5,000 kg | 65 | 694 |
| >5,000 kg | 1 | 5 |
What the caravan data does—and does not—describe
These distinctions prevent a supply spreadsheet from being presented as a buyer or finance market.
- Caravan
- A towable trailer designed for accommodation. BITRE derives this category from trailer make and model data rather than a complete standalone field.
- Camper trailer
- A towable camping trailer included with caravans in the published RAV estimate.
- Campervan
- A motor vehicle converted or completed for accommodation. Second-stage campervan entries are reported separately and are not added to the caravan total.
- RAV entry
- An entry on the Register of Approved Vehicles indicating an asset can be provided to the Australian market. It is not a retail sale.
- Tare weight
- The unladen mass of the trailer as defined for its compliance record. Added water, gas, batteries, accessories and cargo consume payload.
- ATM
- Aggregate trailer mass: the maximum permitted laden mass of the trailer when not coupled, subject to its plate and applicable requirements.
- New caravan activity
- This page uses RAV entries as a timely new-supply indicator. The source does not identify delivery, sale price, buyer type or finance method.
- Used caravan market
- Second-hand listings, transfers and transaction prices are not measured in this dataset. Fleet age should not be invented from RAV entry data.
Calculation rules and downloads
The static tables and charts are generated from the same versioned JSON so the visible page can be reconciled.
Rules
- Monthly total = the published caravan and camper trailer total in that month’s BITRE workbook.
- Rolling total = BITRE’s latest published last-12-month total, not the sum of rounded chart labels.
- Make rankings exclude “Other makes” but the market total includes it.
- Weight share uses unrounded source counts and the complete published 12-month total.
- Source revisions are retained; AFA does not silently smooth spikes or replace official figures.
