Getting to that pristine camp site requires craftsmanship you can trust

Australia’s back roads don’t care about your comfort — but we do.When you’re rattling across the Tanami, gunning it up the Tele Track, or tackling the Gibb after a wet season, your van cops it worse than your playlist on repeat.

At Offroad Grit, we build caravans that aren’t just offroad-capable — they’re offroad-hungry. Here’s how our rigs tame the corrugations without shaking themselves (or you) to bits:

1. Chassis Built Like a Brick Outhouse

Every Offroad Grit caravan sits on a fully welded, hot-dipped galvanised steel chassis, built to endure punishment without warping or cracking. The A-frame is reinforced, not just for strength, but for peace of mind when you’re miles from the nearest mechanic. We don’t skimp on steel or cut corners — because red dirt roads demand respect.

2. Independent Suspension with Airbags: Because Your Spine Deserves a Break

Cruisemaster heavy-duty trailing arm independent suspension system is paired with high-performance shock absorbers and adjustable airbags, giving you the ability to level your van on uneven ground and smooth out harsh corrugations like a champ. Whether you’re towing over bulldust or boulders, your van stays composed — and your breakfast stays in the cupboard.

3. Offroad Tyres & Load-Rated Wheels that Laugh at Punctures

We don’t just throw on generic “all-terrains” and call it good. Our rigs come with genuine offroad tyres that grip when the going gets loose — paired with load-rated Method wheels built to handle the kind of punishment that’d leave standard rims crying in a ditch. Reliability starts at the ground.

4. CNC-Cut Cabinetry That Doesn’t Come Loose on the First Bump

Every cabinet, shelf and panel in an Offroad Grit van is CNC cut for millimeter-perfect joins, giving your interior serious structural integrity. It’s not just about a clean finish — it adds strength across the board. That means no creaking, no cracking, and no cupboard doors flapping like pelican wings on a windy Nullarbor day.

5. Body Construction Made to Shake, Not Shatter

We use interlocking frames and premium fixings throughout the body and interior. Combine that with high-strength adhesives and reinforced bracing, and you’ve got a structure that absorbs road vibration instead of transmitting it. Nothing flimsy, nothing cheap — because on rough roads, shortcuts break.

6. Water Tanks That Don't Need Armour Plates

You might’ve seen other vans bolt on plates to protect their tanks — we don’t need to. Our water tanks are 10–12mm thick of rugged poly, so they can cop a beating from rocks and debris without springing a leak. They’re mounted securely with minimal exposure, so you don’t need extra weight or clunky guards underneath. Tough by design.

7. Built by Bush-Ready Aussies, Not Suits with Spreadsheets

We know what it's like out there because we’ve driven it. Our vans are designed and tested by people who have actually done the lap — who’ve crossed creeks, camped in dust storms, and blown a tyre on a desert track. Every inch of an Offroad Grit van is built with the kind of hard-won experience that only comes from living it.

Still Keen on Corrugations?

If you're ready for a caravan that backs up the offroad talk with real-world toughness, Offroad Grit is your ticket to freedom. Rough roads? No worries. We were made for this.
