Exciting opportunities await New Age Caravans, with JB Caravans taking an equity stake in the business. 

According to a statement issued by the Walkinshaw Group, the New Age Caravans and JB Caravans brands will continue to exist, but also combine where relevant, ensuring a full range of on-road, off-road and hybrid caravans, as well as motorhomes available in Australia and New Zealand. 

Integration between the two businesses is already underway and will be finalised before the end of 2024.
