New Age Caravans

The Manta Ray is New Age's entry couples caravan, built in five layouts from 15ft to 20ft. Every layout has a queen bed up front and a full ensuite. New Age pitches it as light enough for the car already in your driveway. The 15ft Couples layout is 6.79m long and 2.5m wide for travel, with 2.03m of headroom inside. The ensuite has a shower, toilet and vanity, and the kitchen bench turns the corner as a waterfall bench. The fridge is a Thetford 175L 12V compressor unit. There are no bunk layouts in this range. The body is one bonded composite shell with no timber frame, on a tandem AL-KO rocker-roller leaf-spring axle set with 10-inch brakes. A Semi Off-Road pack adds trailing-arm independent suspension, 16-inch all-terrains, a raised coupling and a stone guard. New Age covers the van bumper to hitch for three years from first registration, including cladding, cracking and hatch fitment. Two 200W solar panels feed a 135Ah lithium battery in an underslung cradle, and the van carries a 110L grey tank. The 15ft Couples layout has a 1,900kg tare with up to 500kg of payload. Ball weight runs from 110kg on the 15ft to 178kg on the 18ft. New Age lists 104 items as standard and says to confirm final weights with your dealer before you tow. Prices exclude on-road costs, dealer delivery and options. New Age sells through 17 dealers nationwide.

The Road Owl is New Age's family bunk caravan, built in 19ft and 21ft layouts that sleep four to six. Both have a queen bed up front and a full ensuite. Both layouts share one specification, and length, weight and bed position are what change. The 19ft Family layout is 7.99m long and 2.5m wide for travel, with 2.03m of headroom inside. The kitchen is finished with a waterfall bench, and the ensuite means four people share one bathroom without a queue outside. The body is one bonded composite shell on a tandem AL-KO rocker-roller leaf-spring axle set, with 10-inch brakes and a 50mm ball coupling. A Semi Off-Road pack adds trailing-arm independent suspension, 16-inch all-terrains, a raised coupling and a stone guard, and changes nothing inside. New Age covers the van bumper to hitch for three years, including the galvanised chassis components. Two 200W solar panels and a 135Ah lithium battery run through a Projecta PM335C charger with a 7-inch Bluetooth display. Water is a 110L fresh tank and a 110L grey tank. The 19ft Family has a tare of 2,250kg, a ball weight of 153kg and a 2,950kg ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass). That leaves up to 700kg of payload before options. The 21ft is rated to 3,030kg. New Age lists 106 items as standard and prices both layouts before on-road costs and dealer delivery. It says to confirm your layout's weights with the dealer and at a weighbridge. New Age sells through its dealers, with showroom visits by booking.

The Manta Ray Expedition is New Age's couples van in five layouts from 15ft to 20ft, built around a face-to-face cafe dinette. The 15ft runs a 2,640kg ATM and a 174kg ball weight on Cruisemaster XT coil suspension, with 600W of solar, a 315Ah battery and 220L of fresh water.

The Road Owl Expedition is New Age's family van on their Expedition chassis: 19ft and 21ft layouts sleeping four to six, on a raptor-coated 6in A-frame with a DO35 hitch and Cruisemaster XT coil suspension. 600W of solar, a 315Ah battery, 220L of fresh water and a 3,350kg ATM.

The Big Red is New Age's slide-out couples caravan, built in 19ft and 20ft layouts. One wall moves out to open the floor plan when you park. Both layouts carry a queen bed up front, and there are no bunk layouts in this range. The 19ft Slider is 8.1m long and 2.5m wide for travel, with 2.03m of headroom inside. An electric awning sets up at one button, and the TV rises when you want it and hides when you do not. A front-load washing machine is fitted. The fridge is a Thetford 224L compressor unit. The body is one bonded composite shell on a tandem AL-KO rocker-roller seven-leaf axle set with 10-inch tow-assist brakes. The axle set is rated to a 3,200kg GTM (Gross Trailer Mass). A Semi Off-Road pack adds trailing-arm independent suspension, 16-inch all-terrains, a raised coupling and a stone guard. Every Big Red is built to one specification with 118 items as standard. Two 200W solar panels feed two 135Ah lithium batteries slung under the chassis. Water is two 110L fresh tanks and a 110L grey tank. The 19ft Slider has a 2,650kg tare, a 180kg ball weight and a 3,350kg ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass), with 700kg of payload before options. The 20ft is rated to 3,590kg, which New Age notes sits above the 3,500kg limit of most dual-cab utes. Prices exclude on-road costs, dealer delivery and options, and New Age says to confirm final weights with your dealer before you tow. New Age sells through 17 dealers nationwide.

The New Age Oz Classic is a 20ft to 22ft luxury touring caravan for couples, built to one specification in two layouts. Both layouts have a queen bed and a full ensuite with shower and toilet. The 20ft Ensuite puts the bathroom in the centre of the van, and the 22ft Club Lounge adds a rear lounge. The 20ft van is 8.50m long and 2.50m wide in travel, 3.10m high, with 2.03m of internal headroom. The fridge is a Thetford 199L three-way, and a washing machine is fitted in both layouts. An electric awning, a Gree air conditioner and a Thetford swivel cassette toilet are standard. New Age lists 139 items as standard on every Oz Classic, and the equipment is the same in both layouts. The body is a bonded composite sandwich panel shell on a hot-dip galvanised chassis with 6-inch main members and honeycomb flooring. Suspension is tandem AL-KO rocker roller seven-leaf on a 50mm axle, with LT245/75 R16 all-terrain tyres. The 20ft runs 10-inch brakes at 3,200kg gross trailer mass (GTM), and the 22ft runs 12-inch brakes at 4,000kg GTM. An optional Semi Off-Road pack adds trailing-arm independent suspension, 16-inch all-terrains, a raised coupling and a stone guard. New Age gives a three-year warranty from first registration on everything it builds and fits, and the dealer registers it at handover. Power is 600W of roof solar in three panels, with a fourth input, and 270Ah of lithium in two underslung 135Ah batteries. A 50A MPPT solar controller, a 30A DC to DC charger and a Projecta 30A 240V charger manage the charging. Fresh water is two 110L tanks with an inline filter, and the grey tank holds 110L. Hot water is instantaneous gas. Optional upgrades add another 200W of solar, more lithium, a third fresh tank or a second grey tank. The 20ft Ensuite has a tare of 2,580kg, a ball weight of 172kg and an ATM (aggregate trailer mass) of 3,280kg. That leaves up to 700kg of payload, and the ATM stays under the 3,500kg tow rating of most dual-cab utes. The 22ft carries more, and the ATM changes by layout, so confirm the figure for your build with the dealer. New Age sells through 17 dealers across Australia, and its website points you to the nearest one. The range brochure with pricing, floorplans and the full spec sheet is a free download.
