What’s in a Colour? How to Choose Your Exterior Cladding Colour
Selecting the perfect exterior colour for your new Salute caravan is an exciting part of the journey! The 2025 Salute cladding range features a stunning selection of six colours, designed to complement both modern aesthetics and the breathtaking landscapes you’ll explore. Whether you’re drawn to crisp neutrals or rich earth tones, there’s a Salute shade to suit your style.
Here’s our in-depth guide to help you choose the perfect exterior colour for your adventure-ready Salute caravan.
Consider Your Surroundings
Think about how you’d like your caravan to look in different environments. Do you prefer a finish that blends into the wilderness, or one that stands out on the road? Here’s where each colour shines:
- Summit White – A classic white that reflects the Aussie heat well and maintains a fresh, clean look. The ideal choice for those who love a crisp and timeless aesthetic.
- Desert Dune – A warm, earthy tone that’s perfect for adventurers who enjoy the outback or coastal getaways, blending beautifully with sandy and rugged landscapes.
- Mountain Fern – A rich, dark green that pairs beautifully with bush settings and lush greenery, making it the perfect choice for nature lovers who really want to immerse themselves in the great outdoors.
- Sandy Glow (Metallic) – A shimmering light golden hue that exudes warmth and sophistication, great for those who want a subtle yet luxurious look.
- Forest Edge (Metallic) – A light grey-green metallic shade that offers a refined, premium feel while keeping things subtle and understated.
- Graphite (Metallic) – A sleek, modern charcoal grey with a metallic edge that adds a contemporary and rugged appeal to your caravan.
Think About Maintenance & Practicality
Lighter colours, like Summit White and Sandy Glow, tend to show dust less and are generally easier to keep looking clean. However, if you’re often travelling off the beaten path, darker tones like Graphite or Mountain Fern could be great choices for hiding mud and road grime between washes.

Match Your Personality & Style
Consider your caravan as an extension of your personal style. If you love luxe, distinctive colours, metallic options like Sandy Glow or Forest Edge bring a sophisticated, high-end feel. If understated elegance is more your style, Desert Dune or Mountain Fern offer a natural and grounded look. For a modern, minimalist vibe, Graphite is a great choice. And when in doubt, Summit White is a perfect option to keep it while playing it safe! With all six colours offering a stylish & sleek look, there truly is no wrong choice.
Think About Climate & Thermal Comfort
If you’re traveling in hotter climates, lighter colours like Summit White and Sandy Glow naturally reflect more heat, helping to keep your caravan cooler. Darker shades like Graphite and Mountain Fern may retain more warmth in direct sunlight.
That said, every Salute Caravan is built for superior thermal performance. With Duratech framing, reflective foil insulation, and tinted windows, your caravan stays comfortable in all conditions. While these features provide excellent heat regulation, your colour choice can still make a difference—especially in extreme conditions.
What’s In a Colour?
Whichever colour you choose, your Salute caravan is designed to be your home on the road, reflecting your style and adventurous spirit. With the stunning new 2025 colour range, there’s a perfect match for every traveller.
