Caravan and campervan registrations have increased by 5.34 percent, with a total of 586,585 registered, according to the 2015 Caravan and Campervan Data Report released before Christmas.
Caravan and campervans remain the fastest growing vehicle type in Australia by registration for the sixth year running.
This new registration data comes as no shock, as Caravan Industry Association of Australia has seen RV production in Australia soar over the past decade.
Recently released production statistics for September 2015 show a year on year an 8.6 percent increase on September 2014, and an overall increase of 7.4 percent YTD on 2014’s production.
“Yearly production for 2014 was one of the highest in over two decades,” said Stuart Lamont, CEO, Caravan Industry Association of Australia.
“So with 2015 set to outperform on last year is a great sign, and this new data bodes well for our industry into the future.
