Austin's Caravans - Tasmania

 

   

 

A'vans are extremely popular down there on the Apple Isle and this is due, in no small part, to the efforts and support given by the local dealers Marilyn and Dennis Austin. One continually reads about their efforts in the A'van Club of Australia newsletter.

Their site is very easy to navigate and A'van is well covered and floor plans etc. are just a click away. We loved the "apple red" colour scheme - so appropriate for Tasmania.

Recently there have been amazing changes at Austin's Caravans with a major re-building program. A new factory/workshop building has just been completed, along with a new office block with customer lounge and staff facilities. The existing building has been refitted out into a showroom to adequately display the increasing range of caravan parts and accessories and camping gear. This is a huge change to when Marilyn and Dennis commenced trading in February 1989 when they were in a grassy paddock and without power or facilities for the first three months.

With that sort of vision, it is no wonder that they now have a very firmly established business. Stocking a total of six brands of caravans, undertaking repairs and modifications, selling tow bars,  accessories, cars and farm trailers, they and their loyal staff members deserve every success they achieve. Such diversity can only build a stronger future - especially when mainlanders in their droves, are discovering the natural beauties and charm of this tiny island.
