As fans gear up for Gather Round, Collingwood has announced a new Platinum Partner in Crusader Caravans, one of Australia’s most awarded caravan manufacturers. The two-year partnership will see Crusader support the club’s AFL program and join a growing stable of lifestyle-aligned sponsors.

The deal marks a fitting alignment between two proudly Australian brands, with Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly noting the natural synergy between football road trips and caravan life.

“Road trips and caravans are a key part of the Australian lifestyle, and we are pleased to welcome Crusader Caravans as a Platinum Partner and thank them for their support over the next two years,” Kelly said.

Founded in 2002 by Serge Valentino and backed by the Mawson Group since 2016, Crusader Caravans has built a strong reputation for its innovation and quality in the RV industry. The Melbourne-based brand has won Manufacturer of the Year three times in the last five years and continues to expand its presence nationally.

Crusader Caravans CEO Michael Paidoussis said the partnership reflects shared values between the two organisations.

“As passionate Collingwood fans ourselves, it’s an honour to align our brand with such an outstanding team and great organisation,” he said.

“This partnership underscores the remarkable growth and success Crusader Caravans has achieved, evolving from humble beginnings into a recognised leader in the caravan industry. Collaborating with Collingwood reflects our shared values of excellence, teamwork, and passion.”

The timing of the announcement, just ahead of one of the AFL’s most anticipated rounds, positions Crusader front and centre with Collingwood’s massive national supporter base.
