An Australian repairman found a customer had inflated their caravan tires to 100 PSI, believing it was the normal pressure for all vehicles. The correct range for caravans is 50–65 PSI, and overinflation raises the risk of blowouts. The story went viral on TikTok, garnering 20,000 views in a day.

An Australian company has unveiled the Mundaka, a fully-equipped camper van. The van comes with solar panels, a water purification system, a refrigerator, and a bed for two, eliminating the need for any aftermarket additions.

Some remote workers are choosing a camper van lifestyle over traditional real estate investments. According to The Australian Financial Review, this approach allows them to maintain mobility and their financial nest egg. The trend has been noted in Australia since 2021.

Tasmania's Parks and Wildlife Service will introduce a new online booking system for campsites in 2026. The $1.5 million system aims to address 'ghost camping', where campers secure prime spots by setting up tents weeks or months in advance. Rangers will monitor campgrounds for compliance, though specific penalties were not confirmed.

Ron Fenech, founder and president of Brinkley's, has been honored with the RVDA Chairman's Award. The award recognizes outstanding contributions to the recreational vehicle industry. Fenech was acknowledged for his long-term support of the association and its educational initiatives.
