Caravan of the Year 2023 presented by MSA 4x4 Accessories returned with all pistons bring this year – the sheer determination of every manufacturer was clearly visible, with some of the best of our local industry proudly on display. This year's competition attracted 12 vans from 10 manufacturers, all vying for the ultimate title of ‘Caravan of the Year’ under the close consideration of our judges.
The Big4 Yarra Valley Park Lane Holiday Park in Healesville was the proud host of COTY 2023, and our four judges, photographers and organisers rested comfortably in the park's modern cabins and glamping tents, surrounded by the lush Yarra Valley surrounds.
This is where the magic happened – from the judges casting their eyes and strict criteria over the line-up of vans to the entire COTY team all playing their integral parts in bringing the event together.
Over the course of the five-day event, the judges reviewed each caravan carefully, both on ground and in a varied terrain tow test, inspecting everything from the build, design and accessories to how they handled on the road. All to help understand the unique qualities and experiences each van offers the market.
