Explorex Models, Specs & Prices

Explorex caravans are Australian-manufactured. The brand builds all models locally with a focus on off-road durability and field serviceability suitable for remote touring across Australian outback tracks and coastal rough terrain. Construction and chassis assembly follow Australian build standards and compliance requirements specific to off-road caravan use.

VANTURE currently has no active Explorex listings and no sold-price history. Set an alert on VANTURE and we will email you when an Explorex is listed, giving you real market pricing when units come to market. Explorex models range from the lightweight single-axle Numbat (2800 kg ATM) through to family-rated Kalbarri and Karijini tourers (3200–3500 kg ATM); the price spread will reflect this ATM and sleeper capacity variation.

All 16 Explorex models are off-road rated. For lightweight entry and solo travellers, the Numbat Single (2800 kg) is the easiest to tow and manoeuvre. Couples wanting a larger footprint should compare the Kimberley R Single (3000 kg), Abrolhos or Ningaloo (3200 kg each). Families planning multi-week remote trips will find the Kalbarri Family or Karijini Family (both sleeping 4–5, ATM 3200–3500 kg) most liveable. The Gibb River, Coral Bay, Gnaraloo, Shark Bay, Tanami and Yardie Creek all sit at 3500 kg ATM — full-size touring rigs with proven remote-travel credentials.

VANTURE has no sold Explorex listings to date, so resale pricing data is too limited to draw a firm conclusion. Explorex caravans are specialist off-road vehicles with a smaller resale pool than mainstream on-road brands. When you are ready to sell, expect a longer search for the right buyer, but off-road-capable rigs often retain value well among remote-touring enthusiasts. Set an alert on VANTURE and check back periodically to see what used Explorex units sell for when they do list.

Check the chassis and welds carefully — off-road corrugation and rough terrain cause fatigue around the drawbar, jockey-wheel bracket and main frame joints, so look for cracks or paint lift. Inspect the undercarriage for dents, bent springs and worn suspension bushes; a Explorex with thousands of track kilometres will show impact marks. Water ingress is critical; scan window seals, roof vents and exterior panel joints for staining and soft spots in the walls, particularly underneath. Listen for play in the coupling when you rock the drawbar by hand — off-road vibration loosens fasteners. Verify the compliance plate, confirm the ATM matches your tow vehicle and check that all exterior vents, hatches and doors open and close smoothly without binding.

All 16 Explorex models are purpose-built for off-road use and rated for rough-track touring. The range includes no on-road-only variants — every model is engineered for corrugated tracks, sand, rock and station terrain. Single-axle Numbat rigs (2800 kg) suit lighter 4WDs and are nimble on tight trails; tandem and full-size models (3200–3500 kg) offer greater payload and stability on longer remote trips. Explorex caravans attract buyers who plan genuine outback touring, not just weekend sealed-road travel. If your travel is mostly bitumen and caravan parks, a lighter on-road brand may be more suitable; if you plan regular remote exploration, Explorex is purpose-matched.

Yes, most modern mid-size 4WDs and dual-cab utes can tow an Explorex. The lightest model, the Numbat (2800 kg ATM), suits smaller 4WDs like the Toyota LandCruiser Prado, Isuzu D-Max and Ford Ranger. The Kimberley R Single (3000 kg ATM) remains within the tow rating of most dual-cabs. Larger models — Kalbarri, Karijini, Gibb River, Coral Bay and others at 3200–3500 kg ATM — require a full-size 4WD (LandCruiser, Toyota 100 Series or newer) or a modern heavy-duty dual-cab (Ranger Raptor, D-Max Pro, HiLux GR) with confirmed tow capacity above 3500 kg. Always check your vehicle's compliance plate for tow capacity and ball weight; never rely on marketing figures. A Explorex caravan may be within ATM but exceed your vehicle's ball-weight limit.
