Caravan World #666
Caravan of the Year
Issue 666 covers our monster Caravan of the Year event in Victoria recently, with amazing caravans all vying for the annual prize. We highlight nine caravan reviews, two joint winners, and categories for Best Build Quality, Best Value Van under $100k, and the Judges' Award. Vans include two compact hybrids and a real mix of off-road capable models.

Travel Guides
In our travel section, we head to Charters Towers in central Queensland with Miriam Blakers and learn how the family coped with a tow vehicle that had expired. Then, Julia D'Orazio opens the lid on what to see and do for a few days' stopover in Coolgardie, WA. And for a short detour from the NSW South Coast, we reveal a secret spot in the mountains to the west.
News and Gear Reviews
In our news section, we have the latest on Bruder RV's plans as it transitions to a new ownership and a fresh direction, word on the Thetford anniversary, more events announced at the Mundi Mundi Bash, the Birdsville Races, Winnebago’s newest motorhome, and some news on electronics releases.
In our gear reviews, we test the new Garmin navigator, try to clean the van with Autoglym products, check out the MSA Sat Storage bag and more.
