AUSTRALIAN CARAVAN + RV
Olympic Caravans
{WORDS: & PHOTOS: }
Having been in the caravan business for 20 years this year, the folk at Olympic reckon they understand how to build affordable, durable caravans.
Olympic Caravans
There are three models ranges in the Olympic stable but only the top two - the Javelin and Champion - feature bunk layouts. Olympic make your classic looking Aussie caravan, using conventional aluminium cladding over a Meranti timber frame and riding on a Supagal chassis.

Pop-Top & Caravan

Javelin
Javelins come in two specification levels -  Standard & SP - and it appears most standard Javelins are pop-tops while most SPs are caravans. Got that? It also appears one of each is available with bi-fold bunks and a double bed, thus garnering our interest.

Standard Javelins are reasonably equipped, with a three-way fridge; four-burner cooker; stainless steel microwave; innerspring mattress; mains pressure tap and more. SPs up the ante considerably, adding air-conditioning; a larger fridge; stainless steel rangehood; CD/Radio sound system and so on. Both bunk Javelins feature the same basic floorplan; with bi-fold bunks at the front and a rear double bed.

Caravan

Champion
Three Olympic Champion caravans feature bunks or extra single beds in their floorplans. One has a drop-down double bed up front and two rear bunks, while the other two have either two single beds (in addition to the main double) or 2 bunks and a bathroom.

Standard equipment seems about on-par with the standard-level Javelin, which should help keep the basic price down. Of course you can always option it up if the bank manager will allow ...
