Hand-built in Melbourne. Family owned. RVMAP accredited
At Salute Caravans, we’re more than a badge on the front of a van—we’re the family-owned, hands-on team that designs, hand-builds and supports every caravan that leaves our Melbourne workshop. With decades of combined experience, we create caravans that blend rugged off-road performance with the refined craftsmanship of a prestige product.
Every Salute Caravan is hand-built with precision, purpose & pride—engineered for Australia’s toughest terrain, and finished with luxury-grade inclusions that deliver long-haul comfort, reliability and capability.
Built for Australia, Backed by Australians
All Salute Caravans are proudly built in Melbourne by skilled tradespeople who are involved in the process day in, day out. We don’t outsource. We don’t mass produce. We keep it local—so we can guarantee strict quality control, faster turnarounds, clearer communication and genuine accountability from concept to handover.
Our builds are tailored to real Australian conditions—from red-dirt tracks and corrugated roads to coastal highways and remote off-grid camps. Whether you’re after a couples off-road caravan with lithium & solar, a family bunk layout, or a full off-grid touring setup, every Salute is designed for durability, practicality & performance.
Where Craftsmanship Meets Capability
We believe prestige isn’t claimed—it’s crafted. That’s why every Salute Caravan is built by hand, not pushed down a production line. Our team combines deep expertise in construction, engineering, cabinetry and electrical systems, ensuring every detail meets our uncompromising standards.
From our DuraTech Timberless Frame construction to premium cabinetry, composite cladding, advanced electrical systems and independent suspension, we pair innovation with traditional pride in workmanship. It’s a build process defined by care, not shortcuts.
Certified to Perform—Built to Last
Every Salute Caravan is RVMAP-accredited and built in accordance with the Australian Design Rules (ADR) and national safety regulations—giving you confidence that your van is built right, built legally, and built to last.
We use premium, locally sourced components wherever possible to ensure your caravan is road-ready from day one and backed by a comprehensive local warranty. And because we prioritise Australian-supported parts and systems, servicing is simpler, parts are easier to source, and downtime is minimised—especially valuable for off-grid or long-distance travellers.
Direct from Builder to Buyer
Salute Caravans are sold exclusively through Melbourne City Caravans—our dealership arm and the very same team behind every build. That means:
- You’re dealing directly with the builders, not a third-party reseller
- Customisation is handled in-house, with expert guidance at every step
- Support is local, responsive & personal
- No mixed messages. No delays. No middleman.
This builder-direct model is rare in the caravan industry—and it’s why Salute owners feel better supported, better informed & more confident in their investment.
The Family Behind Salute
Salute Caravans is family owned and operated, with the core team actively involved in the day-to-day running of the business. From design and engineering to customer consultation, build coordination, quality control and after-sales support, we personally oversee every stage of the journey. Our promise is simple: we stand behind every caravan we build.
