Your First Victorian Caravan Adventure: Where to Go (and What to Tow)

If you’re new to caravanning, Victoria is the perfect place to start. From the winding Great Ocean Road to the crisp mountain air of the High Country, there’s a landscape — and a caravan — for every type of traveller.

At Stallion Caravans, we’ve spent over a decade building caravans that go the distance. Handcrafted in Australia, our range covers every journey: Semi Off-Road, Off-Road, and Off-Grid — built for reliability, comfort, and the freedom to explore without limits.
