Vision and Sunseeker might wear different badges, but they’re steering the same course. Under founder Chris’s lead, the Queensland-built brands are merging operations, streamlining three sites into one leaner, sharper pipeline.

The goal? Efficiency without losing the hands-on, family-run DNA that built their reputation. At the CreditOne/OnlyVans.com.au awards event, we caught up with dealership rep Hugo Austin, a bloke who’s done everything from factory fit-outs to front-of-house.

Sunseeker kicked off around 12 years ago with a simple premise: if your tow rig can get there, your van should too. Vision followed five years back with a clean-sheet rethink, full fibreglass composite shell, all-aluminium interior, zero timber.

The logic is brutal and brilliant: if water gets in, nothing swells, rots, or dies quietly behind the cladding. It’s rare spec in the broader market, and it’s earned them serious off-road cred. That capability isn’t just brochure fluff either.

Vision 14s and 16s have tackled Blue Rag Range and the Old Telegraph Track. Ground clearance, departure angles, and underbody packaging are treated like performance hardware - not marketing garnish.

Inside, it’s just as pragmatic: powder-coated aluminium surfaces that wipe clean (parents, take note), smart storage, and Garmin-based digital switching in higher-spec builds, with push-button or voice-command control.

The lineup is deliberately narrow. Core volume sits with 14 and 16-footers (hard-top or pop-top), plus larger family formats like 19’6” and 21’6”. Instead of chasing every trend, Vision/Sunseeker double down on what they do best.

To stand out, they’ve also got a Bundaberg-made boat loader that lets certain pop-tops carry a 3.8-metre tinny on the roof. It’s a low-volume feature – they sell just a handful a year - but it nails the coastal-meets-outback brief better than any influencer reel.

Every van passes through three sets of eyes too: factory QC in Coolum Beach, dealership pre-delivery, and a detailed handover check. The team’s honest about human error, the process exists so the second or third pass catches it.

That care extends post-sale. A lively owners’ community (mostly via Facebook) swaps tips, answers questions, and returns to upsize - 14 to 16, couple’s to bunks - when the travel brief evolves.

Now back to that merger. It’s about building on that base. The 12-month target is a balanced cadence: around 2.5 Visions and 2.5 Sunseekers per week. That means hiring smart, not bloating overheads.

“Passion over paycheque” is the internal mantra. The risk with growth? Losing the trust that built the brand. Their answer: restraint. Keep the spec purposeful. Keep the team small enough to care. Don’t chase volume for its own sake.
