Caravan World

THE SEVENTH DAY…

Windsor has been a familiar name on the local caravan scene since the 1970s. Built initially in Melbourne, production moved to Perth, WA, for some years before Apollo bought Windsor and sister brand Coromal to be part of its Brisbane plant in 2018. Apollo had been building caravans and motorhome rental fleets under the Winnebago and Talvor names and saw an opportunity to move into retail sales with the Windsor and Coromal lines.

Bringing these two well-known brands under the Apollo banner was a sensible move. Years of experience in the rental business gave Apollo an edge on how to build a robust and user-friendly caravan.

The sprawling 20,000sqm factory where a team of more than 50 workers builds the Apollo range is a state-of-the-art facility with an automotive-style production line. Economies of scale, efficient build techniques and modern materials deliver a van that's robust and well-priced.

Our review van sits in a modest range of couples and family vans between 5.7m (17ft 6in) and 6.8m (22ft), all destined as semi-offroad tourers. As one of two vans in the 5.9m (19ft 6in) line-up, it's a family van, whereas the other same-length model is a couple's tourer.
