⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t recommend Ben from Northside RV highly enough! From the very first time we met Ben back in March, right through to ordering our new caravan in June and finally picking it up in August, he was absolutely amazing to deal with. Buying a new caravan can feel like a huge decision, but Ben made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. He took the time to talk us through everything, answered all of our questions (and there were plenty!), and was always patient, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. We never once felt pressured or rushed into making a decision. Ben kept us informed throughout the whole process and went above and beyond to make sure everything was organised and that we were comfortable with every step. When we finally picked up our new van in August, he made the handover just as smooth and exciting as we had hoped. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about their customers and the experience they have, and Ben is definitely one of those people. We absolutely love our new van and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Thank you so much, Ben, for making what could have been a stressful process such an exciting and memorable experience. We’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone looking for a caravan. 🚐❤️

From the moment we stepped into Northside RV, Ben was incredibly welcoming and accommodating to myself and our family. Throughout the design process, nothing ever seemed too hard, and the team worked with us to make sure our new caravan suited exactly what we needed. When our van was completed, the team realised the weight was higher than originally planned. They were upfront and honest with us straight away and then went above and beyond to make things right. The team ultimately built us a brand-new van to meet our specifications and ensure it suited our family's needs. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome! The whole family absolutely loves our new van, and we can’t wait for the many adventures ahead. A huge thank you again to Ben at Northside RV and the entire team at GEC for everything you’ve done for us. We really appreciate the exceptional service and effort that went into getting our van just right!

We bought a caravan from Northside RV after looking for quite sometime. We found Ben to be one of the nicest, friendly ,and helpful people you can meet . Our journey was long and tedious prior to meeting Ben , so impressive was the knowledge, the research, and service provided to my partner and me. He gave us every confidence that we were buying the right van for us . He went into all aspects of towing , van weights and car capabilities to see if the van we liked was suitable. As I said before you won’t go wrong with talking to Ben about what you are looking for. Ben has a mountain of knowledge in the caravan industry, and if he doesn’t have what you are looking for, I am extremely confident he can find it for you .cheers Ben ! From Karen and Paul you are a legend.

We are absolutely thrilled with our custom great escape caravan and couldn't recommend them highly enough! From the very beginning, nothing was ever too much trouble, and every request we had was met with a positive, can-do attitude. A huge thank you to Ben, who was incredible to deal with throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer our questions, address any concerns, and kept us updated every step of the way. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine commitment to customer satisfaction made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. The caravan has been completed with high quality, and it's clear that a lot of care and attention to detail goes into their work. We couldn't be happier!

The experience of buying a caravan here with Ben was an exceptional experience. When we first spoke about what we wanted, Ben was accommodating and very helpful with choosing the right layout to suit our needs. From there Ben allowed us time to process all the information, weigh up the pros and cons, before confirming everything. When i took a quick trip to Melbourne and I had a free morning, I asked if I could see the factory where they get built. The team there were awesome and very happy to see myself and my 6yo son, from start to finish they answered any questions we had. It was a very good sign that they were confident in their build process and that I was going to get a caravan built exactly how I like it. We customised alot of things, not only did we ask about what types of things we are looking for, Ben gave us at least 2 options on every request if they were available. Most of the times he also added in cost vs benefit vs weight saving vs storage space. Literally nothing we asked for, wasnt accommodated for in one way or another. A great buying experience from a well rounded, confident and knowledgeable dealer with lots of industry experience. I am looking forward to getting out and around Australia in our new Great Escape Wildone 21'6xl special edition.

Honestly couldn’t be happier. The team at Northside RV were super helpful from the start — no pushy sales tactics, just genuine good service. Great selection of vans, and the customisation options are a real standout. Got mine set up exactly how I wanted it and I love it. Highly recommend these guys.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Frequently Asked Questions About Northside RV

Why buy caravans in Adelaide through Northside RV?

Northside RV is Adelaide’s exclusive dealer for Great Escape Caravans, based in Regency Park, South Australia. Founded by Ben, we exist to make finding the right caravan simpler, more personal and less stressful. Whether you’re buying your first caravan or upgrading to something more capable, we’re here to help you find the right fit without the runaround.

Where is Northside RV located?

We’re based at Regency Park in Adelaide, South Australia. Our undercover showroom gives you the chance to step inside multiple layouts, take your time and get a real feel for each van before making any decisions. No pressure, just honest help.

What caravan ranges do you carry?

As SA’s exclusive Great Escape dealer, we carry the full range: the Escape for families wanting comfort and value, the Maximus for serious off-grid capability and the Black Edition Deluxe for those who want a premium experience on and off the road. Each range comes in multiple floor plans to suit different family sizes and travel styles.

Do you offer custom built caravans in Adelaide?

Yes. We work directly with Great Escape Caravans to offer a fully custom build service. You choose your floor plan, interior and exterior colours, finishes and accessories, and we oversee the build from the first weld to the final polish. If you’ve had a caravan in your head for years, this is how you make it real.

Are Great Escape caravans suitable for families?

Absolutely. The range is built with families in mind, offering layouts with 2 to 4 bunks and room for up to six people. You get the storage, the space and the durability to handle real Australian family travel, whether that’s holiday parks, semi off-road stops or extended off-grid trips.

Are the caravans suitable for off-road travel?

Yes, across all three ranges. The Escape handles semi off-road conditions comfortably. The Maximus is built for serious off-road and off-grid travel with independent suspension and a full electrical system. The Black Edition Deluxe takes it further with self-levelling airbag suspension. Whatever terrain you’re planning, there’s a configuration to match.

How is Northside RV different from other caravan dealers in Adelaide?

We’re the only place in South Australia where you can see, touch and walk through a Great Escape caravan before you buy. Beyond exclusivity, our point of difference is the way we work with you. We don’t push stock, we listen to how you want to travel and help shape the right caravan around that. One dealer, one range, one focus.

I'm new to caravans. How do I get started?

Come visit us at our showroom in Regency Park. Walk through the range, ask questions and tell us where you’re headed. If you’d prefer to reach out first, you can contact us through the website and we’ll get back to you promptly.

How do I know what caravan is right for me?

In our experience, the best place to start is with how you want to travel.
Do you see yourself staying mostly in caravan parks and powered sites, or heading remote and spending extended time off-grid?
Once we understand what your ideal trip looks like, we can help match the layout, features, power systems and capabilities of the caravan to the way you actually want to use it.
Everyone travels differently, so we take the time to understand what matters to you.
The rest is the easy part.

How do I know what caravan my vehicle can safely and legally tow?

A 3.5 tonne tow capacity doesn’t necessarily mean your vehicle can safely tow a 3.5 tonne caravan.
Your vehicle’s GVM, GCM, towball capacity and actual loaded weight all need to be considered alongside the caravan’s ATM, GTM and towball weight.
Our best advice? Load your vehicle as you would for a trip, including passengers, fuel and gear, then take it over a weighbridge.
That gives us a real-world starting point, and we can help guide you through the caravan side of the equation to make sure the setup is safe, compliant and suitable for how you want to travel.

What is the difference between touring, semi-offroad and full off-road caravans?

Every manufacturer describes these categories a little differently.
Some call a tourer an on-road caravan. Some call a tourer semi-off-road. Others use the term off-road very loosely.
These labels are meant to make things easier, but they can often create more confusion.
At Northside RV, we’d rather understand the roads and terrain you actually want to travel on, then help build the caravan to suit.
So the only label you need to worry about is “Mine”.

Can I customise my caravan?

Absolutely.
Everyone’s idea of the perfect caravan is different. Our goal is to build your caravan, not someone else’s idea of the perfect caravan.
We tailor the specifications to complement the way you want to travel. From completely custom layouts to power systems, suspension setups, appliances, colours and finishes, there are plenty of ways to make your caravan feel truly yours.

How much solar and battery do I need to free camp?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to this.
The first question you need to answer is: “What do we want to be able to use while we’re completely off-grid?”
If that includes 240V appliances like an air conditioner, coffee machine, induction cooktop or air fryer, you’ll need an inverter or generator.
Put simply, the inverter determines what you can run, the battery capacity determines how long you can run it for, and the solar helps put that power back.
That’s why we start with how you want to travel and what you want to use, then build the power system around you.
More isn’t always better. The right system is the one that does what you expect it to do.

Do you have caravans I can buy now, or are they built to order?

We keep a range of beautiful vans on display for those who like to see everything in person, walk through and get a great feel before they decide.
If nothing quite fits what you’re looking for, we can build it for you.
Whatever suits you best.

What is the Northside RV 7 Day Love It Guarantee?

Buying a caravan is a big decision, and sometimes a quick walkthrough in a showroom isn’t enough to know if it’s truly right for you.

That’s why selected in-stock caravans come with our 7 Day Love It Guarantee.

Take it away, use it properly and experience what it’s actually like to live with. If you don’t love it, return it within 7 days in substantially the same condition and we’ll refund the purchase price, subject to the guarantee terms.

We’d rather refund you than have you stuck with a caravan you don’t love.

What happens after I buy my caravan?

Once you’ve picked up your caravan, those “one day we’ll go” conversations start turning into “Hop in love, we’re going.”

Weekends away, longer trips and finally seeing more of this beautiful country become something you’re actually doing, not just talking about.

Your Great Escape caravan is backed by a nationwide 3-year warranty, and if you run into trouble or simply have a question along the way, give us a call.
