WHAT MAKES TAREE CARAVANS SO DIFFERENT ?

When you walk into Taree Caravans tidy yard, the first thing you notice is the presentation of all the caravans on display. Apart from the immaculate looking new vans, the used vans are prepared and detailed to an extremely high and impressive standard. All vans must pass an exhaustive and thorough inspection, where every detail is checked. From chassis, brakes, bearings, lights, to internal workings of fridge, stove, water pump, etc, every item is checked for operation and anything found not to be working or not to standard is repaired or replaced. Dealer Principal, George Ladas has adopted the philosophy when buying stock, of rejected the rest and only buying the best ! George says he buys on average 1 in 10 vans he looks at, and after 20 years in the trade, knows exactly what to look for. He buys the best so you end up with the best possible caravan experience. Thats why repeat buyers keep coming back, George says he has customers who have bought up to 5 times from him and travel as far North as Cairns, West as Dubbo, and South as far as Melbourne.

Andrew Ladas heads the sales team and has been in the family business for over 5 years. Andrew's passion is custom building and making sure the customer gets what they want in a caravan. Andrew has really put the emphasis on family, having grown up with a caravan and camping orientated family, has ventured on many caravan holidays and brings much experience and enthusiasm to the sales team. Andrew recently built a caravan of his own, and is often caravaning with his beautiful wife Casey, both enjoy the caravanning lifestyle.

Andrew started in our workshop and has been trained in all aspects of caravan construction, repairs and warranty, Andrew has first hand knowledge of all aspects of caravan maintenance and looks forward to helping you with any requirements or advise that you may need for your next caravan purchase or holiday.
