Newgen Caravans: Compact Adventures with the NG13

With its commitment to quality and durability, Newgen Caravans has earned a loyal following among Australian adventurers. The NG13 epitomises this with a design that’s ready for both the caravan park and the open road. As Peter Maggio, Newgen Caravans' dealership manager, explains, the NG13 offers a quality off-road option for solo travellers and couples alike who want a well-rounded, adaptable van without compromising on durability.

“The NG13 is the entry point in terms of size for our off-road caravans,” Peter notes. “It’s the smallest one in our fleet, but it’s a good little couple’s van and is great for buyers who have a smaller space to store it.”

Compact Design, Big Versatility

Built for adventure, the NG13 is equipped with the essentials that make it ready for off-grid travel while still being easy to manoeuvre and store. Its single-axle design allows for easy handling, even in tight caravan park spaces, and its Aloplex construction with XPS foam core and aluminium frame makes it lightweight and robust. Off-road suspension, an extended drawbar, and ample front storage toolboxes add to its functional design, making it a solid choice for weekenders and seasoned adventurers alike.

“If they want to go off-grid, they can add accessories and inclusions to make it an off-grid van,” Peter shares, adding that for many buyers, the NG13 is an ideal platform to customise for more demanding adventures. Designed and built with Australian conditions in mind, the NG13 is equally at home on outback tracks or well-trodden caravan park trails, giving customers flexibility with each journey.

Meeting the Needs of First-Timers and Downsizers

Where the NG13 seems to shine, however, is in its broad appeal, with buyers ranging from first-time caravanners to experienced travellers looking to downsize. For newcomers, it provides an accessible way to explore the lifestyle, offering everything needed for a comfortable trip without the scale and cost of a larger van. For long-time caravanners, especially those transitioning from larger models, the NG13 delivers a more nimble alternative for buyers looking to shift their travel style to shorter trips and more spontaneous adventures.

“We generally find that people buying this van are solo travellers or couples who are just weekender-type people,” Peter says. “People have had a hybrid or a pop-top, and they’re getting out of that style…they’re going back to this smaller style van which they can just unhook, jump into and enjoy.”

Creating a Community of Loyal Customers

In addition to being a brilliant entry point for first-time owners, the NG13 also serves as a fantastic introduction to the brand itself, Peter tells me, with customers often returning to upgrade within the brand’s lineup or recommending the model to friends. According to Peter, many first-time buyers of the NG13 find themselves back at Newgen after a few years, ready to move into a larger van or inspire others in their circle to make a similar purchase.

“If we’ve sold a buyer one [an NG13], their friends are coming in, having a look around, and buying one,” Peter notes. “And we’re trading back – if they’ve bought an NG13 as a starting point, we find that they’re coming back a couple of years later and buying a bigger version.”

Looking Ahead: New Developments at Newgen

In response to customer feedback, Newgen is continually evolving its offerings. Peter shares that the company is preparing to launch the NGV semi-off-road range to cater to customers who want slightly less rugged models, alongside new bunk layouts and additional size options to meet growing market demands.

“The guys have taken that on board and are introducing some new ranges and new models,” Peter explains. With these additions, Newgen remains dedicated to addressing the evolving needs of Australian travellers, solidifying its reputation for producing versatile, adventure-ready caravans.

Compact, Adventurous, and Great Value

In a market filled with choices, the NG13’s compact design, durability, and adaptability make it a standout option for buyers who want a dependable off-road experience without the hassle of a larger rig. Whether it’s the entry-level option for someone new to caravanning or a compact upgrade for experienced travellers, the NG13 brings a unique blend of adventure and practicality to Newgen’s lineup.

On what makes the NG13 so appealing, Peter sums it up in three words: “Compact, adventurous, great value.”
