Our Happy Customers

Welcome to our Customer Testimonial page, where our customers have generously shared their insights and firsthand experiences with our caravans. Whether it’s the initial encounter or ongoing travel adventures, these reviews offer practical perspectives and valuable insights into the inherent value our caravans can bring to your future caravanning journeys. Join us as we explore the stories that genuinely capture the essence of the caravan experience.

For Dean & Paula, choosing a new caravan came down to one thing above all else — quality.

After inspecting countless vans, including high-end models, they found nothing that matched the craftsmanship, inclusions & value of their Salute Garrison. From the moment they stepped inside, it simply felt premium.

Their setup is designed for true off-grid travel — airbag suspension, a dedicated drinking water tank, inverter capability, and smart features that make every stop easy.

And years later, their decision feels as right as ever:

“We made the smart choice… we’ve ended up with a quality van, great service, and peace of mind.”

Watch Dean & Paula’s story to see why their Garrison continues to deliver the comfort, capability & confidence they were looking for.

Jack and Shane have spent years travelling Australia in their Salute Governor caravan, and they’ve loved every minute of it. From the Grampians to the Salt Lakes, their van has taken them off grid and into unforgettable landscapes.

“It’s life-changing… just more special family holidays. All of us together off grid.”

They’ve grown up with caravans, but the Governor has taken things to a whole new level.

“Luxury I’ve never had before… comfy couches, full-height van, toilet, shower, washing machine. Happy wife, happy life!”

The setup is simple, the styling is modern, and the van is built tough.

“You pull up, press a button, and you’re set up. It’s just really, really nice.”

What stood out most was the personal touch from the team.

“Fabio, Cettina and Joe, thank you for an amazing caravan and a buying experience that was personal and special.”

Jack and Shane’s story is one of comfort, connection, and the freedom to explore—just the way they like it.

Like many, we embarked on the journey to buy a caravan to go on off-grid adventure holidays. The market is overwhelming with choice and at times it felt very confusing. One day I found the Salute ad in my Facebook feed and then watched loads of videos and researched their vans, including a visit to their showroom.

As soon as we met Fab, Cettina and Joe we knew that we had found people who were honest and trustworthy with an outstanding quality van and good value pricing. They patiently answered every question on all aspects of their build and how the van worked; as a family business - quality and service really matter to them. The process to order our Govenor Unlimited was easy and the handover incredibly thorough, the quality of the build is exceptional. We felt like we were valued customers and part of their family. We are huge fans and are looking forward to sharing our adventures with them.

After doing a lot of research and looking at caravans we settled on the Salute Garrison Unlimited & we couldn't be happier. We love all the features it has and it has been so easy to use. The whole process buying the caravan through Melbourne City Caravans has been so easy and the after sales service we have received from their team has been amazing.

We've had a fantastic experience with our new caravan. The team at MCC Salute Caravans were always very helpful, never pushy, patient, knowledgeable and just a pleasure to work with from the first communication right up until pick up. They also checked on how we were going on our trip home and have been available since in answering a few questions. Quality is excellent. Very highly recommend!!

Thank you to Melbourne City Caravans and ARV chassis for fixing our broken footwell. The turnaround time was so quick, and only took less that half a day to get it fixed and we were back on the road again! Thanks for the top customer service!

From first introduction to handover the team at Salute are in our opinion 5 star! We purchased the Governor Unlimited and to say we are beyond happy is an understatement. Having owned a van previously we can equivocally state the range at Salute is designed with thought, well constructed and finished extremely well. They also took on board all our little changes and additions without question and offered sound advice throughout. Fabio, Cettina and Joe thank you for our fabulous new van and for all the fun and laughs along the way!

We cannot thank the staff at Melbourne City Caravan enough for going above and beyond during the purchase and handover of our new caravan. As Canadians, we would also like to thank Joe, Cettina and Fabio for their prompt responses to any questions we had. After many changes to the delivery of the truck, and eventual delay, the staff at Melbourne City Caravan adjusted their schedule to accommodate us. Exceptional customer service. A definite 10/10 rating.

We have owned our Governor for 4 years and couldn’t be happier, we have travelled many km’s over that time and apart from a few little issues which were fixed with no fuss. After visiting the caravan show in Shepparton last weekend we realised we would buy another Salute van as the after sales service is great and you are buying off a small family business

We’ve had our van for about a month now and are loving it. The design we chose is so much better than our last van with it so more user friendly. The build quality it amazing and the few minor issues (all my fault as I couldn’t remember some of the instructions we got) were sorted with fantastic after sales service from the team at Salute. Highly recommend this brand of caravan.

From the time we saw Melbourne City Caravans at the Melbourne Caravan Show, we fell in love with the Salute Governor. The Staff at MCC, are awesome to deal with. Living in Tasmania, they were always available by phone, text and email to answer all our questions. At the time of taking delivery, the team made it exciting and easy. Our 4.5 hr hands on handover was brilliant and being able to take videos to remind us of how things worked (battery management, awning etc) is brilliant. As always, the team will be available by phone etc to answer any queries we might have. Certainly an investment made with confidence in buying from MCC and Salute. Highly recommend.

We are thrilled to be proud owners of our New Sabre Out Back Salute. Our journey began 1.5 years ago when my wife Wendy commenced her research on looking for a Caravan that you only purchase once in a life time. Meeting the team at Melbourne City assured me that we were dealing with people who are passionate, not only about their product but also building a relationship with the client to find out their extended needs. I was happy to see that the brand lowers its volume and focuses more on attention to detail which is rewarding. A big thanks to Fabio, Cettina, Joe & Steve the QC, keep up the great work & thanks for all your assistance along the way. Look forward to venturing out and exploring the best country in the world.

We purchased a Salute Avalon from the team at Melbourne City Caravans and could not be happier. Being from out of state, Fabio, Cettina and Joe were beyond amazing. Their personal approach, honesty and friendly ways reinforces what genuine people they are. Before, during and after purchase support has been incredible. The team answered all our questions, gave advice and nothing was too much trouble. We are proud to be apart of Salute and look forward to all our adventures ahead. We cannot recommend the team or the van highly enough. Both are built with great quality. Thank you.

We are over the moon with our Salute Governor. We stepped through the doors of so many vans searching for the right one and the Salute vans stood out from them all. The quality of the build is A1, along with the service from Cettina, Joe and Fabio. Special thank you to Cettina who was so patient with me as I changed my interior colours 3 times 😊 before we signed and put our deposit down. We received our van on time and we’re ecstatic with the finished van. All our family and friends are in love with the van as much are we are and we are looking forward our future travels in style. Thank you Melbourne City Caravans we would highly recommend.

We purchased a new Salute Governor 12 months ago l could not recommend them highly enough. The after service from Fabio has been very pleasing , our regulator on the gas bottle was faulty, they sent a plumber 3 hours drive to replace the faulty part. Also on purchasing the van they were very patient friendly and informative. We are pleased with the quality and standard of our caravan.

Finally picked up the dream van. Months in the waiting for a lifetime of fun. MCC were awesome to deal with, right from the initial contact and selection process with Cettina to the delivery and handover with Fabio and Joe. I’ve now experienced their after sales service. Being from the West I thought it may be a little challenging but Fabio’s instruction to a local electrical repairer (to fix a minot issue) was something to the effect of please ensure as minimal impact to the customer as possible. Thanks so much guys.

Having Googled many Caravan brands, visited many showrooms and caravan shows, we ended up with countless brochures. There was only ever 1 that stood out, and we kept going back to, MELBOURNE CITY CARAVANS / SALUTE CARAVANS. Joe, Fabio & Cettina & their builders delivered to us a quality built caravan with attention to finish and detail. Whether you are a couple or a Family there is something in their range to suit everyone’s Camping/Glamping needs. You will be guided, not pressured into your decision to purchase. Check out their showroom you won’t be disappointed.
