Evergreen Models, Specs & Prices

Evergreen fifth wheels are manufactured in the USA and imported to Australia. The Ultima range is USA-built to American specifications, which means Australian buyers should verify compliance certification and check that the caravan meets Australian towing and safety standards before purchase. Ask the seller for import documentation and a current compliance plate. Warranty and after-sales support may differ from locally-assembled brands — clarify servicing options with your dealer before committing.

VANTURE has no active or sold Evergreen listings to date, so we don't have pricing history yet. Fifth wheels typically sit at the premium end of the caravan market due to their size and capability — new USA-built models in this class generally range from $80,000 upwards, but Australian-market pricing depends on import costs, dealer margins, and compliance work. Set an alert on VANTURE and we'll email you when an Evergreen is listed, giving you real local market data.

The Evergreen Ultima, including the RK and RL27 Custom variants, is purpose-built for full-time touring and extended outback travel. With a tare of 2760 kg and ATM of 3490 kg, the Ultima is a substantial, fully-appointed living space designed for couples or small families who plan to spend months away from base. It's a fifth wheel, so manoeuvrability in tight camps is better than a conventional caravan of similar size — ideal for experienced travellers who've invested in a dedicated prime mover and want flexibility without towing a motorhome.

Sold data for Evergreen is unavailable on VANTURE — no units have sold through the marketplace to date. Fifth wheels have a narrower buyer pool than conventional caravans, which can affect resale speed and pricing. Import timing, compliance certification status, and the specific model year all influence second-hand value. Because Evergreen is USA-built and imported, local service history and documented maintenance matter more than for locally-assembled brands. If you're considering buying, research recent sales through specialist fifth-wheel dealers in your state to understand the local resale market.

Inspect the kingpin and hitch coupling mechanism for wear, rust, and play — this is the critical load-bearing joint. Check all hydraulic systems (jacks, slide-outs) for leaks, fluid condition, and smooth operation. Examine the floor for soft spots near wheel wells and water ingress at the wall-to-floor junction. Look at the external composite panels for delamination, UV cracking, and corner seals. Test every slide-out fully extended and retracted, verify all water systems (fresh, grey, black), and check tyres for even wear and age — fifth wheels are heavy, and tyre condition is safety-critical. If available, ask for service records and clarify what warranty, if any, transfers to you.

Fifth wheels suit experienced caravanners with a dedicated prime mover — they're more manoeuvrable than single-axle caravans of similar size and pack serious living space. Evergreen's Ultima is a full-time touring rig with a 3490 kg ATM, so you need a heavy-duty 4WD or truck to tow it safely and legally. If you're new to caravanning, a conventional caravan or motorhome may be easier to manage. If you've outgrown a smaller caravan and plan extended outback travel, a fifth wheel's flexibility and space can justify the investment. Your choice depends on your towing vehicle, experience level, and travel plans — fifth wheels are specialist rigs, not entry-level.

The Evergreen Ultima's 3490 kg ATM means you need a prime mover with a towing capacity comfortably above that — typically a full-size 4WD diesel (Landcruiser, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max in top spec) or a truck. Check your vehicle's specification sheet for maximum towing capacity and ensure it exceeds the Ultima's ATM by a safe margin. Fifth wheels also require a compatible hitch and draw-bar setup — not all tow vehicles are equipped from the factory. Before committing to an Evergreen, have your mechanic confirm your vehicle is fifth-wheel ready and rated for the job. Undersized towing is illegal and dangerous, so don't compromise on this step.
