Custom Built is an Australian caravan manufacturer focused on practical, locally-built touring vans. The company operates from Australia and designs caravans with a specific emphasis on weight efficiency and real-world towing capability. The Banner Lane is their current offering — a two-berth caravan engineered for buyers seeking Australian-built quality without excessive mass. With a tare weight of 1900 kg and ATM of 2600 kg, the Banner Lane is positioned as a workable option for owners of mid-range towing vehicles who want to avoid the payload penalties of heavier European or imported models. Custom Built's approach prioritises construction transparency and local support over premium fitouts or elaborate slide-outs.

Custom Built buyer's guide

Who buys a Custom Built?

Custom Built caravans appeal to couples and small families seeking locally-built quality with straightforward towing demands. The Banner Lane's 1900 kg tare and 2600 kg ATM make it practical for owners of Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max, and similar mid-size 4WDs who want to avoid expensive chassis reinforcement or payload management headaches. Buyers typically prioritise Australian manufacturing, simple service logistics, and honest weight declarations over luxury features. If you're downsizing from a full-size caravan or upgrading from a camper trailer, Custom Built's focused range suits weekenders and short-term touring where two-berth sleeping is sufficient.

What to inspect

When viewing a used Custom Built caravan, check the drawbar and A-frame welds for surface rust or hairline cracks — these are the first fatigue points on Australian-built caravans, especially if the van has done heavy outback touring. Inspect the floor underneath for soft spots near the wheel wells and check the chassis rails for mud-trap corrosion where water collects. Look at the coupling and jockey-wheel mount for cracks or movement. Test all window and door seals for water staining inside the walls, particularly around the roof and rear corner joins. Ask the seller for the compliance plate and verify the tare and ATM figures match — this matters if you're towing with a vehicle on its payload limit.

Value and resale

VANTURE has no sold Custom Built listings to date, so resale data is not yet available. This is common for smaller or newer Australian builders with limited distribution. When considering a Custom Built, focus on whether the van suits your towing vehicle and touring plans rather than speculating on resale value. Australian-built caravans tend to hold value reasonably well in the used market, particularly if they've been well-maintained and have genuine service history. The lightweight construction of the Banner Lane may appeal to downsizers and budget-conscious towing buyers, which could support modest hold-time value. Check comparable two-berth caravans in the 1900–2000 kg tare range on VANTURE to get a sense of the broader market.

Frequently asked questions about Custom Built

Where are Custom Built caravans made?

Custom Built caravans are manufactured in Australia. The company builds locally and handles design, assembly, and compliance in-country. This means Australian-based after-sales support and easier service logistics if you need repairs or warranty work. No offshore manufacturing or importing is involved — the Banner Lane is built here.

What's the price range for a Custom Built caravan?

VANTURE currently has no active Custom Built listings, so real-market pricing data is not yet available. Sold data is also limited. For guidance, compare the Banner Lane (1900 kg tare, two-berth) against similar locally-built two-berth caravans in the 1800–2000 kg range on VANTURE to get a sense of the market band. Set an alert for Custom Built on VANTURE and we'll email you when a listing appears with current pricing.

What Custom Built models are best for couples and weekenders?

The Banner Lane is Custom Built's current offering — a two-berth caravan purpose-built for couples and small groups doing weekend trips and short touring. Its 1900 kg tare weight keeps it within the towing envelope of mid-size SUVs and 4WDs, and the two-berth sleeping arrangement is sufficient for partners or a parent and child. If you're towing with a HiLux, Ranger, or similar vehicle with 2500+ kg payload, the Banner Lane fits without requiring vehicle modifications or payload sacrifice.

How does Custom Built hold its value on the second-hand market?

Sold data for Custom Built is not yet available on VANTURE — no units have sold through the marketplace to date. This makes it too early to assess resale patterns. When considering a purchase, evaluate the van based on its fitness for your towing vehicle and touring needs rather than speculative resale value. Australian-built caravans generally retain value reasonably well if maintained, but the Custom Built's market footprint is still small. Check comparable two-berth caravans on VANTURE to see typical pricing trajectories for vans in the same weight and sleeper category.

What should I check when buying a used Custom Built?

Focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and drawbar. Inspect the A-frame and coupling welds for surface rust and hairline cracks — these fatigue first on Australian vans, particularly after outback use. Check the floor under the van for soft spots and water staining near the wheel wells and rear corner seams. Test all windows and door seals for signs of water entry inside the walls. Verify the compliance plate and confirm the stated tare (1900 kg) and ATM (2600 kg) match the van you're inspecting — accurate weight is critical for safe towing with mid-size vehicles. Ask for service records and ask the seller directly about any water damage history.

Can a mid-size 4WD like a HiLux or Ranger tow a Custom Built?

Yes. The Banner Lane has a tare weight of 1900 kg and ATM of 2600 kg, placing it well within the towing and payload envelope of modern mid-size 4WDs. A Toyota HiLux (dual-cab, 3.0-litre), Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max, or Mitsubishi Triton can safely tow the Banner Lane without requiring chassis reinforcement or payload management complexity. Always check your specific vehicle's towing capacity (tow bar limit and payload) against the caravan's ATM and loaded weight — most mid-size 4WDs will handle it comfortably, but verify your owner's manual to be certain.

Is Custom Built still in production?

Yes, Custom Built is currently building the Banner Lane caravan (2024 onwards). The company is actively manufacturing and the Banner Lane is listed as a current model. If you're interested in a new van, contact a Custom Built dealer to discuss build timelines and current specifications. Set an alert on VANTURE to track when new or used Custom Built caravans are listed for sale — you can also check with local dealers for build availability and lead times.
