Once upon a time, the Recreational Vehicle (RV) industry looked very different. Holden Kingwoods, Ford Falcons and Chrysler Valiants were considered to be adequate tow vehicles and the geographical base of caravan manufacturing, where names like Millard and Viscount reigned supreme, was not regional Melbourne but southwestern Sydney.
I mention all that because Millard, albeit in very much a changed form, is still a Sydneybased manufacturer and has been for more than two decades in its current form. There are some advantages to that; your staff can’t just walk down the road to get a similar job and copying a fellow manufacturer isn’t as easy. But there some disadvantages too, such as where the component manufacturers/ importers are located.
