JAWA Off Road Campers

The Ridge Runner is the one camper trailer in Jawa's line-up, a 12ft body at 5.5m overall. It carries a 1,550kg tare against a 1,900kg ATM with a 199kg ball weight. It is the lightest and cheapest thing the Sunshine Coast brand sells, aimed at tow cars its caravans outweigh. The 350kg gap between tare and ATM is honest for a trailer with a 199kg ball figure.

The Stealth 12 is Jawa's compact expanding caravan, a 12ft body at 5.78m overall that extends when set up. The maker rates it at a 2,650kg ATM with a 180kg unladen ball weight. The short body suits tighter storage while the extension buys back living space at camp. No tare is published, so ask the showroom what the base van weighs before matching a car.

The Lowdown 13 Bunk is Jawa's pop-top off-road caravan that sleeps three, with a toilet, shower and pull-out kitchen in a 13ft extending body at 5.97m overall. It is rated at a 2,500kg ATM and 2,345kg GTM, with a 155kg unladen ball weight. The low travel profile is the point: less drag on the highway, full height at camp.

The Lowdown 13 Escape is the couples layout of Jawa's 13ft pop-top, an extending body at 5.97m overall. It is rated at a 2,500kg ATM and 2,345kg GTM, with a 155kg unladen ball weight. It shares the bunk version's low-profile body, trading berths for storage. The 155kg unladen ball suits utes and wagons with tighter towball limits.

The Stealth 16 is the larger of Jawa's Stealth pair, a 16ft body at 6.96m overall. The maker rates it at a 2,990kg ATM with a 255kg unladen ball weight, the heaviest ball figure in the range. It is sold through the Sunshine Coast brand's eight showrooms. That ball figure deserves attention when matching a tow car with a modest towball limit.

The JAWA Infinity 15 is a 15ft family pop-top hybrid that sleeps four. Two permanent bunks sit up front and a king bed at the rear. Tare is 2,460kg with the air conditioner and external fridge fitted, ball weight 177kg and the ATM (aggregate trailer mass) 2,990kg. That leaves 530kg of payload. The body extends from 15ft to 18ft when set up, and the fibreglass roof lifts on push-button electric actuators. Overall length is 6.75m, width 2.475m, travel height 2.65m and set-up height 3.14m. Inside are an ensuite with separate shower and Thetford cassette toilet, an induction cooktop and sink, and a double sofa with table. The 2025 model added a large pantry, deep pull-out drawers and wardrobes. The alfresco kitchen runs the full wall with a pantry and a drop-down tray. It has a slide-out prep bench, a four-burner gas cooktop and a stainless steel sink. A 95L Evakool fridge-freezer and a slide-out barbecue or generator tray sit outside. A Webasto 2,400W roof air conditioner, an Eberspacher diesel heater, three fans over the bed and double-glazed windows are standard. A full canvas annexe with walls and vinyl floor and a 4.5m awning are included. The walls are aluminium composite panel on an aluminium frame, over a hot-dip galvanised chassis with underbody deadener. The drawbar is 150 x 50 x 4mm Q345 steel. Suspension is fully independent off-road with two Lovells springs and four Lovells load-rated shock absorbers. It has a Cruisemaster DO35 coupling, 12-inch electric drum brakes, 265/75 R16 mud-terrain tyres on six-stud alloys and Koyo bearings. Two spare wheels mount at the rear, with dual recovery points, rock sliders, four wind-down stabiliser legs and an Ark XO Extreme jockey wheel. JAWA gives a five-year structural warranty. Power is 900W of glass solar panels and a 600Ah Arizon lithium battery in two 300Ah units. A Victron 3,000W inverter-charger, a 50A DC to DC charger, 50A and 30A MPPT chargers and a Cerbo GX touch screen run the system. Water is two 120L fresh tanks with bash guards and gauges and an 80L grey tank, on Seaflo pumps. A Truma AquaGo instantaneous hot water system feeds the ensuite and an external shower, and mains pressure taps sit at the drawbar and rear. The van has certified 240V power, a 50A Anderson plug and USB sockets throughout. JAWA sells from its own showrooms at Corbould Park, Caboolture, Southport and Garbutt in Queensland. It also has showrooms at South Windsor in New South Wales, Pakenham in Victoria and Canning Vale in Western Australia. The range also travels to caravan and camping shows, and the JAWA website has a selector tool that matches layouts to how you camp.

The Infinity 15 Escape is the couples version of Jawa's 15ft extending camper, 6.75m long overall. It is rated at a 2,990kg ATM with a 180kg unladen ball weight. It shares the bunk model's extending body with more storage in place of the extra berths.

The Lowdown 17 stretches Jawa's pop-top format to a 17ft body, 7.73m long overall. It is rated at a 2,990kg ATM and 2,770kg GTM, with a 220kg unladen ball weight. The pop-top roof keeps travel height down on a body approaching full-size caravan length. The GTM sits 220kg under the ATM, which is the ball load the format shifts onto the car.

The Lowdown 17 Escape is the alternate layout of Jawa's largest pop-top, a 17ft body at 7.73m overall. It is rated at a 2,990kg ATM and 2,800kg GTM, with a 190kg unladen ball weight. It is the lighter-ball option of the Lowdown 17 pair. Its GTM runs 30kg higher than the standard 17, with 30kg less on the ball in exchange.

The Sirocco Grande is a 15ft caravan from Jawa's hybrid and pop-top line, 6.7m long overall. It is rated at a 2,990kg ATM and 2,760kg GTM, with a 230kg unladen ball weight. It sits between the compact Lowdown 13 and the long 17 in the Sunshine Coast brand's line-up. The 230kg unladen ball is the figure to check first against a mid-size tow car.

The Grunge is Jawa's 15ft toy hauler, 6.74m long overall with a rear ramp for bikes and gear. The maker rates it at a 2,990kg ATM. It is one of two haulers in the line-up from the Sunshine Coast brand, which designs and fits out locally with bodies built abroad. Neither tare nor ball weight is published for it, so both are showroom questions.

The Grunge X is the upgraded version of Jawa's 15ft toy hauler, 6.74m long overall. The maker rates it at a 2,990kg ATM. It shares the Grunge's ramp-loading body with a higher-spec fit-out, at the top of the brand's hauler pair. As with the standard Grunge, the page publishes neither tare nor ball weight, so both are questions for the showroom.

The Retreat Bunk is Jawa's family-layout 16ft hardtop, 7.02m long overall. It carries a 2,525kg tare against a 2,990kg ATM. The bunk layout is the family option in a line the maker otherwise builds for couples, and it shares the Retreat's body and running gear. The 465kg gap between tare and ATM is the family loading budget, water included.

The Retreat Escape is the couples layout of Jawa's 16ft hardtop, 7.02m long overall. It carries a 2,525kg tare against a 2,990kg ATM. It shares its body with the bunk-equipped Retreat, part of the Sunshine Coast brand's hardtop line sold through eight showrooms. The same 465kg tare-to-ATM margin applies, with fewer people to carry gear for.

The Commander is a 16ft hardtop caravan from Jawa, 6.82m long overall. The maker rates it at a 2,990kg ATM with a 170kg unladen ball weight. It rounds out the middle of the hardtop line from the Sunshine Coast brand, which designs and fits out locally with bodies built abroad. Like most of the range, its page prints no tare figure beside the rating.

The Tarwarri 18 is an 18ft hardtop caravan from Jawa, 7.8m long overall. The maker rates it at a 3,500kg ATM with a 175kg unladen ball weight. It sits in the middle of the Sunshine Coast brand's hardtop line, sold through eight showrooms across the east coast.

The Tarwarri Escape is the second layout of Jawa's 18ft hardtop, 7.8m long overall. The maker rates it at a 3,500kg ATM and a 3,330kg GTM, with a 170kg unladen ball weight. Jawa designs and fits out on the Sunshine Coast with bodies built abroad, its own stated build model. The GTM figure makes it one of the few models in the range with both towed weights published.

The Eclipse Escape is the alternate layout of Jawa's biggest hardtop, 8.8m long overall with a 21.6ft body. It carries a 2,880kg tare against a 3,500kg ATM. Like the rest of the range it is designed and fitted out on the Sunshine Coast with the body built abroad, on the maker's own words. That leaves 620kg between empty and fully loaded for water, gas and gear.

The Eclipse is Jawa's largest hardtop caravan, 8.8m long overall with a 21.6ft body. The maker rates it at a 3,500kg ATM. Jawa designs and fits out on the Sunshine Coast with bodies built abroad, its own stated build model, and sells through eight showrooms. The weights block on its page prints the ATM alone, so the tare is one to confirm with the maker.
