Is it safe to buy a caravan right now? + Bestselling Brass is Back | Flat Out Monthly eNews

Posted by Merry Cadalso on Jul 20, 2026

Hi everyone!

Welcome again to Flat Out Monthly, thank you for all your feedback from recent editions of this or YouTube/Facebook/Instagram. We love hearing from you and sharing our journey with you.

I have been doing Caravan expos for 8 years now, early days we would often have customers pop over just to tell us how much they love our products, and many say they've had them for multiple years "Still going strong don't need a new one yet!", it's the best!

But lately we have just as many people pop over to talk about recent videos we've published, and thank us for our industry commentary. I feel it important that as a customer, should you want to, you can know what is going on behind the scenes and feel part of the industry you are supporting. Because you are the biggest part of this industry. Without you, we don't exist.

With that in mind, in this issue we discuss one of the biggest questions in the caravan industry with all the recent brand closures: "Is it still safe to buy a caravan?"

We've also got some good news for anyone who's been waiting on some brass accessories that ran out far quicker than expected after launch.

Happy July Everyone!

Is It Still Safe to Buy a Caravan?

With several caravan manufacturers making headlines recently, we've been hearing one question more than any other:

"Is now still a safe time to buy a caravan?"

It's a fair question.

As a business that works closely with manufacturers, dealers and thousands of caravan owners across Australia, we get a unique view of what's happening across the industry. While there's obviously been some uncertainty, the full picture isn't nearly as gloomy as the headlines might suggest.

In this month's video, Zoe shares her thoughts on where the industry is really heading, why recent events may not be as alarming as they seem, and the practical steps every buyer should take before choosing their next caravan.

The Brass Bits and Bobs are Back

Sometimes it's the smallest products that make the biggest difference.

Last year we released a couple of new brass accessories to help keep your caravan setup cleaner, tidier and easier to pack away. We expected them to be handy additions to the range. We thought they would be a bit overkill and only appeal to those with an obsession for additional bling to keep you neat and tidy. One of those little conveniences we like to provide to those who share our true love of perfectionist quality, organisation and cleanliness. We didn't expect our trial batch to sell out almost immediately.

After months of waiting for our product design refinement and bulk production run to complete, they're finally back in stock - and nearly every online order contains them now!

Watch the video to see what all the fuss is about and discover which brass accessories you'll want to add to your setup.
