    WHAT ARE CARAVANS & CAMPERVANS • Campervans as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics are self-propelled motor vehicles containing an area primarily used for

    accommodation. This definition would include vehicles commonly referred to as motorhomes.• Caravans are defined as ‘any enclosed trailer designed primarily for human occupation whilst stationary’ (Vehicle Standard

    (Australian Design Rule – Definitions and Vehicle Categories) 2005 (Cth)).

    AUSTRALIAN CARAVAN AND CAMPERVAN DATA GENERAL COMMENTS• Combined Campervan and Caravan registrations reached a total of 586,585 at 31 January 2015. • Comparing campervan and caravan registrations at 31 January 2014 with those at 31 January 2015 shows an increase of 29,741 or

    5.34%.• The total number of campervans registered in Australia at 31 January 2015 was 58,375 compared to 55,757 in 2014 which equates

    to a 4.7% increase.• The total number of caravans registered in Australia at 31 January 2015 was 528,210 compared to 501,087 in 2014 which equates to

    a 5.4% increase.• The graph below shows the percentage increase of all motor vehicle and caravan registrations in Australia between 31 January 2014

    • Queensland had the largest fleet of Caravans and Campervans in Australia, accounting for approximately 151,765 registered vehicles of the total 586,585 in Australia. This equates to 25.9% of the total fleet.

    • Queensland had the largest percentage of registered Caravans in Australia in 2015 at 26%.• Queensland also had the highest percentage of registered campervans in 2015 at 24.4% of all registered campervans, although this

    was very similar to the percentage of registered campervans in NSW at 24.3%.• New South Wales’ share of the increase in total registrations between 2014 and 2015 was highest at 31.8% of the total increase

    across Australia. Queensland was close behind with 30.2%.• It followed that New South Wales’ and Queensland had two of the fastest growth rates being 7.76% and 6.29% respectively.

    However somewhat surprisingly ACT was second to NSW with 7.7% growth in total registrations from the year prior.

    • Between 2014 and 2015 the ratio of Caravan to Campervan registrations stayed materially the same, with Campervans at 10% and Caravans at 90% of the total registrations.

    • Consistent with prior years, Tasmania had almost three times as many registered Campervans per head of population than the other states and territories.

    • Interestingly, Tasmania had the highest number of registered campervans per 1,000 people and shared with South Australia the greatest percentage of population older than 65 years of age.

    • Total caravan & motor vehicle registrations in Australia numbered approximately 18.5 million at 31 January 2015, an increase of 2.2% when compared with total caravan and motor vehicle registrations at 31 January 2014.

    To be read in conjuction with the attached compilation report

    AGE OF AUSTRALIAN CAMPERVANS• The average age of Australian campervans at 31 January 2015 increased slightly from 17.6 years in 2014 to 17.9 years in 2015. This

    reflects a relatively steady trend over the past 4 years. Queensland had, on average, the youngest fleet at 14.8 years while Western Australia had the oldest at 22.8 years.

    • The average age of the total motor vehicle fleet has remained relatively stable over the last 6 years, at around 10 years (excluding caravans).

    • New South Wales and Queensland had average fleet ages of less than 17.5 years. Interestingly, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania all had average fleet ages of 20 years or more which is consistent with 2014. Quite a disparate gap between the large eastern states and the others.

    • From 2007 to 2015 the average age of Campervans in Victoria fell by over 7%. During the same period both Western Australia and Tasmania’s average age has increased by over 7% with South Australia’s average age increasing by over 4%.

    • As at January 2015, approximately 51% of Campervans in Australia were manufactured in the last 15 years, which did not change from the 2014 year. Therefore, based on very simplistic analysis of the averages over half of the campervan population may be due for replacement in the coming years. This figure remained materially consistent with 2014 data.

    CARAVAN AND CAMPERVAN WEIGHT DATA CAMPARISONS• Australian Bureau of Statistics data suggests that people are tending towards caravans in the weight range 1.6 to 3 tonne, being the

    largest growth area in 2015, which is consistent with findings from 2014. The largest percentage of registered caravans continues to be in the 500 to 900 kilogram category, with nearly 70% weighing less than 1.5 tonne. This decreased slightly from 72% in 2014.

    • Approximately 73% of the population of registered campervans weighed (Tare) between 1,500 and 5,000 kilograms, an increase of 2% from 2014. The largest movement between 2014 and 2015 was in registered campervans with a tare weight of between 1,601 and 2,000 kilograms, together with 3,100 and 5,000 increasing by 6% campervans with a tare weight of between 7,500 and 10,000 kilogram decreased by 6% during the year.

    • Across the board, caravan registrations increased in 2015 with the top 30 most registered postcodes all recording increases from 2014. The number of caravans registered in situations where a postcode was not reported fell in 2015.

    • Following Mandurah in Western Australia, Bundaberg in Queensland was the postcode region recording the second highest volume of caravan registrations in 2015.

    • Eagle Farm in Queensland (postcode 4009) recorded the highest growth in campervan registrations from 31 January 2014, while areas around Fortitude Valley and Herston in Queensland recorded the highest fall in campervan registrations from 2014. Campervan rental business operations established in these areas, and the potential for stock to move between locations may be factors contributing to these variances.

    • Overall, campervan registrations increased for the year to 31 January 2015.
