Gold Class Caravans might be one of the new kids on the block, but it’s no rookie. Backed by two decades of manufacturing heritage under the Market Direct Group umbrella, the brand launched just six months ago with a clear mission.

That mission is to make premium caravanning simpler, smarter, and more accessible. At the recent CreditOne/OnlyVans Awards, sponsored by RACV, Gold Class Caravans stepped into the spotlight with the Adventure Class AC19C, a 19-foot couples van built to take luxury off the beaten track.

It leads a lineup designed around a “premium made possible” ethos. No confusing options lists. No drawn-out build times. Just a fully equipped package from the get-go: Enerdrive electrical systems, Airbag Man suspension, Dometic appliances, and Simarine componentry.

It’s a no-compromise setup that lets buyers hitch up and head out without second-guessing the spec sheet. Instead of overwhelming customers with choices, the brand offers a streamlined, turnkey model range that balances luxury, quality, and value.

It’s a philosophy that mirrors its heritage, and thanks to an exclusive partnership with its overseas manufacturing facility, Gold Class Caravans maintain full control over production. Every van meets ISO 9001 quality standards and carries RV MAP accreditation.

That oversight helps keep costs down without cutting corners, something that’s often a challenge in the premium segment. Confidence runs deep in the warranty coverage too. Each van includes a lifetime warranty on the chassis and drawbar.

There’s a two-year manufacturers  warranty, as well as the warranty protection offered through the trusted brand component suppliers such as Enerdrive, NCE and Dometic. It’s a level of backing that speaks to long-term durability and customer assurance. The range splits into two collections too.

The Adventure Class offers full off-grid capability, while the Luxe Class is for travellers who prefer the comforts of caravan parks or semi offroad touring. Across both, there are eight models between 16 and 19 feet, with layouts to suit couples and families alike.

The target market? Buyers chasing a dependable, well-appointed van without the uncertainty of custom builds. Like we mentioned already, Gold Class Caravans might be fresh, but their trajectory is deliberate.

The focus isn’t on rapid expansion; it’s on building credibility. As Sam Moorhouse noted at the awards, development is ongoing and optimism is high, with future models expected to evolve from early adopter and dealer feedback.

Priced from around $84,990 for the LC16C, Gold Class Caravans lands well below many competitors in the $200K-plus bracket, while holding its own on finish and features. And as its first major public showing draws attention, one thing’s clear;

Gold Class Caravans isn’t here to reinvent the wheel. It’s here to perfect the art of making premium caravanning approachable, dependable, and built to last.
