Who buys a Newlands?
Newlands Tourister caravans appeal to two distinct buyer groups. Couples and solo travellers favour the two-berth 550, 600, 610, 628 and 660 models — all lightweight (tare under 2500 kg) and towable behind most modern mid-size SUVs without upgrade. Families with children choose the 600FAMILY, 628FAMILY, 650FAMILY or 675FAMILY models, which offer bunks or convertible dinettes to sleep four to five, while staying under 2561 kg tare. First-time caravan buyers often gravitate toward the Tourister 550 or 600 as entry points — proven layout, minimal maintenance, and efficient fuel economy when towing. Grey nomads and full-timers with adequate tow capacity tend toward the larger 650FAMILY or 675FAMILY, which offer more living space and storage. All models are designed for Australian conditions and standard caravan touring — blacktop and unsealed road travel, not serious off-road.
