Hybrid caravans are hot right now— but many cost more than a new SUV! In this post, I’m showing you 8 of the most affordable hybrid caravans you can buy new in Australia in 2025.
A couple of quick notes before we dive in: I’ve only included one caravan per manufacturer, so we get a good mix of brands and styles. And while I’ve focused on affordable hybrids where I could find verified prices, there are probably other options out there that are even cheaper.
One more thing — as far as I can tell, none of the hybrids in this list are fully built in Australia. I haven’t filtered them based on origin, because my focus here is on affordability and features, not where they’re manufactured. Just something to be aware of if that matters to you.

Alright, let’s check them out — starting from the smallest and simplest, up to some surprisingly well-equipped options, all under $50,000.
Market Direct Forte 9+
The Forte 9 Plus from Market Direct Campers is about as budget-friendly as hybrids get.
It’s compact, tough-looking, and designed to go where most caravans wouldn’t dare.
For under $37,000, you get a full steel chassis, independent suspension, external kitchen with stainless bench, and a free-standing 270 degree awning.
Inside it’s basic but functional — queen bed, a bit of storage, and dinette for two. There’s no ensuite, but you do get a portable toilet and shower setup.
For solo travellers or couples who want genuine off-road ability without the big price tag, the Forte 9 Plus is a solid little warrior.
Stoney Creek Campers Scout-X
Next up, the Stoney Creek Scout-X Off-Road Hybrid Caravan priced at just under $40,000 it’s perfect for small families.
This is a compact pop-top with a queen size bed and a single bed, but there’s the option to add another bunk bed above the queen if you need.
There’s an exterior slide-out kitchen with a two-burner stove, and optional extras like a fridge slide and awning walls. It’s not luxury, but it’s practical, tidy, and proven on rough tracks.
For small families who want a simple hybrid that’s built to last, the Scout-X is an underrated choice.

Maverick Campers Storm 12 Pop Top
The Maverick Storm 12 Pop-Top steps things up a notch, both in comfort and presence.
It’s around $43,000 and comes with a lithium battery, 600W of roof mounted solar panels and 2 large fresh water tanks.
The inside is genuinely impressive for the price — a roomy north-south queen bed, comfy seating, and bench space for cooking inside if you need to.
Outside, the stainless kitchen, dual water tanks, and large awning setup make it perfect for extended touring.
This one bridges the gap between camper trailer and full caravan really well — a capable little home on wheels.
Far Horizon Campers Tuff Track Escape
From Far Horizon Campers, the Tuff Track Escape brings a heavy-duty edge to the affordable hybrid space.
It’s built with a strong chassis, heavy-duty suspension, and a full 12V off-grid setup, yet starts around the mid-$40,000s.
Inside it’s simple — a queen bed, bench space, and overhead cupboards — but you can see the focus on durability.
If you’re planning remote travel and don’t mind a more utilitarian interior, the Tuff Track Escape is an excellent bang-for-buck option.
Mars Campers Ranger X Deluxe MKII
Mars has been around for ages, and their Ranger-X Deluxe MKII shows why they’re still going strong.
For about $46,000, you get a 5 berth camper that is perfect for families. It’s a complete off-road, low profile hybrid with independent suspension, stainless steel kitchen, reverse cycle air conditioner as well as a Truma hot water system.
Inside, you have a queen size bed, 2 bunks (that convert to a seating area with table), and one single berth below the queen. It’s a unique layout that ensures everyone gets a comfy bed.
For buyers who want a proven, affordable hybrid from a big name, this one ticks a lot of boxes.
Bushwakka Campers WeGo
Then there’s the Bushwakka WeGo — small, stylish, and super easy to tow.
Priced from $45,990, it’s a tidy, lightweight hybrid designed for effortless weekends away.
The WeGo has a pop-top roof, a comfy bed, exterior kitchen, and 200Ah of lithium power as standard.
You have the choice of either a small internal ensuite or bunks, making this a great option for either couples or families.
If you like the idea of a minimalist hybrid that’s easy to handle, the WeGo is a standout.
Blue Water Campers Xtraveller
Bluewater’s Xtraveller sits around the high-$40,000s and it’s one of the more polished options here.
It’s a 13-foot hybrid with proper off-road suspension, a well-equipped external kitchen, and an external ensuite tent.
You get 800W of solar, 400Ah of lithium battery storage, and solid build quality throughout.
The Xtraveller is great for families and feels like a step above entry level, without jumping into that 60–70k bracket.
Goldstar RV 12ft Hybrid
Finally, the Goldstar RV 12-foot Hybrid. This one’s remarkable value, starting from around $48,000.
Following the same layout as most of the others on this list, this pop-top is great for a small family with a north-south queen for mum and dad, and the dinette that converts to bunks for the kids.
It’s heavier than some others here, but you get a lot for your money.
Goldstar builds locally in South Australia, and their caravans are known for packing in features without the inflated price tag. A real sleeper in the affordable hybrid category.
