Semi-Off-Road Caravan Features
All caravans have different features depending on the type, options, and uses, among other distinguishing features. However, there are specific features to look for when choosing a semi-off-road caravan. Some of these features are as follows:
Chassis and Drawbar
Retreat’s semi-off-road chassis is designed and built to survive the harshest elements of the Australian bush. High-quality supergal steel is an essential component of our chassis which is built to last. The drawbar also incorporates a stone shield that is mounted underneath the chassis for further defence against flying rocks and other debris.
Body Construction
The revolutionary RXP construction used by Retreat enhances the cabin’s thermal insulating properties by utilising the latest developments in industry technology. This means that you will stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Additionally, the RXP composite material doesn’t absorb water and has a lifetime Rot Free Structural Guarantee.
Semi-Off-Road Caravan Suspension
Unquestionably, the suspension system is the most crucial component of a high-end semi-off-road caravan. The independent suspensions on our semi-off-road caravans can easily take on Australia’s most challenging and arid terrain. Our suspension systems eliminate the forces that would otherwise be applied to the chassis when the towing vehicle over undulating terrain.
What Makes a Semi-Off-Road Caravan?
Different types of caravans have varying features and amenities however, there are various features that set semi-off-road caravans apart from other types of caravans. These features include:
High Ground Clearance
A higher ground clearance ensures that there is enough distance between the chassis or suspension and all of the potential obstacles or debris. A good semi-off-road caravan should have a departure angle of at least 40 degrees and a ground clearance of at least 500mm.
All-Terrain Tyres
All-terrain tyres are less speed-rated than highway terrain tyres, but they are ideal for semi-off-road caravans. The more durable carcass design features a more open, deeper tread pattern and a higher load rating.

FAQ
Simply said, the difference between semi-off-road and off-road caravans can lie in the terminology between various elements of each caravan. However, both caravans are equipped with off-road suspension to handle difficult terrain, the chassis is more rigid and durable, and there is also better ground clearance than a typical on-road caravan.
The features to look for when purchasing a semi-off-road caravan include ground clearance, independent suspension, water storage, reliable power supply, strong shock absorbers, and sturdy chassis.
Most on-road caravans feature shock absorbers, a beam axle, and leaf slipper springs for consistent on-road performance. However, this type of set up is unsuitable for off-road terrain as the various components are not designed or manufactured to withstand off-road conditions.
The best semi-off-road caravans Retreat offers in Australia is the Fraser, Daydream and ERV. All three models are designed and built to withstand the toughest off-road conditions.
