Today, the pioneering spirit of the Australian caravan industry continues with Lotus Caravans, an indisputable industry leader due to its continuous research and development.

Few countries can match Australia for extremes in terrain, landscape, climate and touring options. From the frosty peaks of Tasmania to the tropical World-Heritage listed rainforest of the north; the vibrant, bustling cities to deserted white beaches and vast stretches of
the Outback; caravan touring delivers a kaleidoscope of experiences to those lucky enough to travel the highways and explore the backroads of this vast continent.
Whether you’re on a short country getaway or embarking on a grand adventure, the sense of easy freedom offered by a Lotus Caravan can rarely be equalled. For only a caravan enthusiast knows the joys of watching the sun set over an untouched landscape, as a big sky full of stars heralds a restful a sleep and then makes way for another day of new sights and home-like surrounds.

PROCESS & MANUFACTURING
FROM THE ALL-IMPORTANT CHASSIS TO THE TINIEST SCREWS, EVERY ASPECT OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS IS TIGHTLY MONITORED WITH RIGOROUS QUALITY CONTROL TAKING PLACE AT EACH STAGE.
From the onset, Lotus Caravans has been committed to designing and manufacturing top-of-the-range caravans equipped to handle the rough, Australian conditions, yet providing a comfortable and luxurious home-away-from-home. Superior quality is achieved by using only the best products on the market and partnering with the leading suppliers in the caravanning industry. Our ultimate goal is to provide you with a custom-built caravan that will keep you happily touring around the country while making unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.
DESIGN.As soon as an order is received from one of the nationwide network of dealers, the in-house design team at Lotus Caravans drafts a building plan for the van, based on the client’s requested dimensions, features and components. This plan is sent off for final client approval.
CHASSIS. Lotus Caravans has built a trustworthy relationship with G&S Chassis, Australia’s leading chassis builder, to construct each frame based on the design in the building plan. It is delivered to the factory and the caravan begins to take shape.
FLOORING. The only other constructional element made off-site is the structural grade one-piece floor, which is built to specification and prepared for assembly, including its single-piece hardwearing vinyl covering.
UNDERCARRIAGE. Top quality water tanks and braking mechanisms are affixed to the chassis and floor while the installation of robust underbody armour guarantees ultimate protection. Minimal openings in the floor allow for plumbing access to ensure maximum strength is maintained and dust ingress is minimised.
WALLS AND ROOFS. The walls and roof are constructed in the Lotus Caravans factory before being fitted onto a lip on the chassis, thus taking pressure off connecting bolts. The caravan’s internal
framing functions in conjunction with the walls, chassis and roof to provide sturdiness and stability in even the toughest conditions.
ELECTRICALS. With the exterior walls and frames in place, technicians complete all the electrical wiring in several stages, completed by the installation of both 12V and 240V components, such as the economical 12V LED light fittings, air conditioning, road lights and thermal wall and roof insulation.
PLUMBING Expert plumbers prepare the pipework and, as each element is ready, connect the gas fittings, hot water service, sinks, showers, toilets and taps, ready to make your Lotus Caravan a private oasis of luxury no matter where you go.
EXTERIORS.With the construction almost complete, doors and windows are fitted and sealed against the elements before the final design details are applied to the distinctive grey aluminium cladding along with composite panelling and checker plate armour.
SUPERIOR CARAVAN CRAFTSMANSHIPMore than 400 units are custom-made each year in the purpose-built and state-of-the-art facility in Campbellfield, the home of Lotus Caravans.
The factory, commanding over 2150m² of space, was designed exclusively for the manufacturing of the caravans, with particular emphasis on occupational health & safety and efficiency.
Incorporating a flow-through process, each van is assembled piece-by-piece by some of Australia’s most skilled technicians, using cutting edge technology in a workplace that’s both comfortable and inspiring – this is the home of boutique caravan craftsmanship.
INTERIORS. All fixtures and furnishings are individually built on-site by skilled cabinet makers and craftsmen. Every bench, cupboard, berth and bulkhead is inserted by hand to fit perfectly. The unique interior finishes of contemporary high gloss cupboard fascias, contrasting against white or − exclusive to Lotus Caravans − malt walls and cabinetry have added to the popularity and appeal of the Lotus Caravans brand.
QUALITY INSPECTIONS. Throughout every stage of construction, each van is assembled according to stringent quality standards, overseen by a quality supervisor. Upon completion, the caravan is subject to rigorous structural and safety testing before being weighed and compliance checked. After a thorough clean and polish, inside and out, a member of the management team conducts a final detailed inspection before the caravan is allowed to leave the factory.
DELIVERY.A robust, modern, eye-catching luxury Lotus Caravan is ready to bring a new sense of freedom and adventure to one more discerning owner.
The unwavering commitment of the Lotus Caravans team to design and build world-class luxury caravans has established Lotus Caravans as the ultimate industry leader, unrivalled in craftsmanship, reliability and comfort. Ultimate confidence in our products is now backed by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Prospective clients are warmly invited to visit the lotus caravans factory and experience the manufacturing process for themselves. To book an appointment, please contact our sales team on 03 9305 3907.
