Australians are towing more than ever, with record caravan and camping trips and registrations at an all-time high in 2025 — yet certain caravans are sitting unsold on dealer yards across the country, some long enough to flat-spot their tyres. This video breaks down eight specific types of van that Australian dealers simply cannot move in 2026, from full-size three-and-a-half-tonne off-road tourers that exceed what even a LandCruiser can legally carry, to orphaned vans from collapsed builders who reportedly kept taking deposits until their final hours. It covers the flooded near-new used market, the collapse of traditional camper trailer sales in the face of cheaper imported hybrids, the stalled two-hundred-thousand-dollar flagship segment, and the oversized big rig that struggles to fit most caravan parks. The deepest issue running through all of them is weight — specifically, the disturbing reality that the tare weight stamped on a caravan's compliance plate carries no legal definition, can be set by the manufacturer for marketing purposes, and may bear little resemblance to what your van actually weighs once dealer-fitted accessories are added. Industry estimates suggest up to ninety per cent of compliance plates may contain inaccurate figures, with serious consequences for insurance, roadside enforcement and safety.
