Travel Home Models, Specs & Prices

Travel Home fifth wheel caravans are manufactured in Australia. The brand focuses on the domestic market and produces both the Macquarie and Summer Life Drifter ranges locally. Construction combines fibreglass or composite walls with timber framing and welded steel chassis, a build approach proven across the Australian fifth-wheel segment.

VANTURE has no active or sold Travel Home listings yet, so real second-hand pricing data is not available. You can estimate by comparing new Travel Home RRP (ask dealers directly) against the range spread: entry-level Macquarie 23ft models start around tare 2100 kg, while top-spec Drifter 29s and Macquarie 29ft variants approach 3600 kg tare and will command accordingly higher prices. Set an alert on VANTURE and we'll email when the first Travel Home fifth wheelers are listed, giving you real sold-price benchmarks.

The Macquarie series is designed for family touring, with the 26ft, 27ft and 29ft models sleeping four. If you have a dual-cab ute or large SUV, the Macquarie 26ft (2500 kg tare, 3490 kg ATM) balances family sleeping with reasonable tow weight. For heavier-duty family rigs, the Macquarie 29ft Series II and Sportz offer the same four-berth layout and identical 3490 kg ATM. Drifter models sleep two and suit couples; they are not designed for family bunk layouts.

Check the kingpin and coupling head for rust, pitting or play—these wear under towing stress and are expensive to repair. Inspect the frame welds where the drawbar joins the chassis for hairline cracks; stress commonly concentrates here. Press the walls, particularly around window frames and the upper sides, for soft spots or delamination in the composite / fibreglass panels. Check the water-tank and gas-system mountings for corrosion or loose bolts, and run the fridge, heater and water pump to confirm function. Examine the tyres, jockey wheel and brake calipers; these age whether the van is used or not and signal how well the previous owner maintained the unit.

Travel Home fifth wheelers suit buyers seeking Australian-made construction at mid-market pricing, with a focus on coupling reliability and tow stability. The Macquarie range offers four-berth family layouts across multiple lengths, while the Drifter caters to couples valuing simplicity. Fifth wheels are inherently more stable when towing than conventional caravans because the coupling sits over the tow vehicle's rear axle, reducing sway. Whether Travel Home specifically is worth buying depends on finding a well-maintained example, checking the tare and ATM ratings against your tow vehicle's limits, and comparing asking prices (via VANTURE or dealers) against equivalent-age competitors. The zero-sold history on VANTURE means you should inspect any unit thoroughly and seek mechanic pre-purchase advice.

Yes—if your vehicle's towing capacity meets the model's ATM. Travel Home's lighter models suit smaller rigs: the Macquarie 23ft (2800 kg ATM) tows comfortably with a dual-cab ute rated to 3200 kg or above. The Drifter 25 (3600 kg ATM) requires a heavier dual-cab or large SUV. Larger models—Macquarie 26ft to 29ft, all at 3490 kg ATM—need vehicles rated to 3500 kg or higher. Always check your vehicle's actual towing capacity on the compliance plate; dealer marketing figures can be optimistic. A fifth wheel's lower profile also helps marginal tow vehicles perform better than with a hitched caravan of equivalent ATM, but never exceed your rig's limits.
