It’s that time of year again, and Caravan of the Year 2025 presented by MSA 4X4 Accessories is shaping up to be another fantastic event, so make sure you add the public Showcase to your calendar!
When: 1 March 2025, 10am–2pm
Where: Lake Pertobe, 107 Pertobe Road, Warrnambool, Vic
Some of Australia’s best caravan manufacturers will converge on Warrnambool — the biggest city on the iconic Great Ocean Road — in late February to vie for the coveted title of Caravan of the Year (COTY) 2025.
Over five days from 27 February to 3 March, 12 impressive caravans and hybrids will be put through their paces in a rigorous program of judging at the NRMA Warrnambool Riverside Holiday Park and road-testing through the region’s winding coastal landscape in a bid to win this year’s title.
MSA 4X4 Accessories is returning as COTY’s naming sponsor, and the team will have a great display at the Showcase, including a range of products tailored to the 300 Series LandCruiser and 250 Series Prado. REDARC Electronics is supporting the event at Dinner Sponsor, and will be attending the Showcase with its latest product offerings. Event vehicle partner, Ford Australia, will have the US Truck F-150 and best-selling Ranger and Everest vehicles on display.
Members of the public will get a chance to see all the caravans and hybrids entered into COTY 2025 at the Showcase Day to be held on Saturday 1 March from 10am–2pm.
The public Showcase is a great chance to see some of Australia’s best and most innovative vans up close and speak with the experts who created them, so don’t miss out!
This year's Showcase is going to be particularly good, with every entrant — bar Snowy River, who are overseas owned and sending its dealer principle — are sending the owner or family member to be part of Caravan of the Year 2025 presented by MSA 4X4 Accessories.
