About the Musketeer
The Musketeer is Crusader's off-road caravan range for couples, solo travellers and families. Its eight layouts sleep two, or up to four in the Palace. Tare runs from 2,151kg to 2,760kg by layout, and the 2026 range adds a 40mm roof and airbag suspension as standard.
The Warrior 18ft 10in and Camelot 19ft 3in sleep two at a 2,800kg ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass), with 649kg and 618kg of payload. The Palace 21ft 10in sleeps up to four at a 3,300kg ATM with 735kg of payload. Kitchens gain bench space from a recessed stove lid over a Swift gas-electric oven. The Aramis layout adds a full-height pantry with three metal slide-outs beside the fridge.
The body is EcoLite composite with a one-piece 40mm front, roof and back wall. CrusadAir airbag suspension levels the load, a heavy-duty DO35 coupling articulates with it, and 500mm protection decals wrap the lower body against road debris. A Milenco antenna is fitted.
Power is a Projecta battery management system with a 200Ah lithium battery and a 2,000W inverter.
Crusader says weights are approximate and vary between individual vans, and that the compliance plate carries the accurate figure. The ATM can be altered at order within the legal maximum. Prices include all costs except state registration.
Crusader sells through its dealers, who quote, price bundles and book walkthroughs.

2Ring ahead, then go see it
Dealers that carry Crusader Caravans, from the brand's own list. Stock moves all the time, so call before you drive out.
When you call, ask:
- Have you got the Crusader Caravans Musketeer in the yard now, or is it on order?
- Can I come and walk through it this week?
- What's your best drive-away price on it?
- Is it the same build I compared, with matching layout, weights and features?
3When you get there, check
- The compliance plate - check the tare and ATM against the specs you compared here. The plate carries the legal numbers.
Where the plate is and how to read it - Water damage - soft spots in the floor, stains on the walls, or a musty smell in the cupboards.
How to spot water damage - That everything works - lights, water pump, fridge, gas, and the brakes and hitch.
The full inspection checklist, system by system - Sort your finance before you hand over a deposit, so you are never committed to a van you cannot finance.

Delivery and freight
If there's no dealer in your state, most brands deliver Australia-wide. You can also collect from the factory. Interstate freight is a real cost, often a few thousand dollars, and it climbs with distance, so factor it in before you commit.
