Blue Sky Caravans

We are looking at a Blue Sky Woodland at the moment, sold only by Belarine Caravans at Corio near Geelong.

Looks the bees knees, but as you I have no direct user knowledge. I'll watch this too!

Hey Jude !! I to have been looking at the bluesky range, they do look like a good package, i seen a number of threads on other forums in relation to the Bluesky range. one man in particular said he has done a lot of research on the van, and is very happy with the overall package, on price, construction, and finish, however he did warn other members about the manufacturer, as they did not exactly fill him with confidence for after sales service if any problems should arrive, he also stated that if you are doing any research on the Bluesky range, also research the ''FUSION'' Brand which is the name of the van that this company used to manufacture, why the name change ??
Just passing on what i have read on other forums, have not had the chance to broaden my own research as yet. But i do like the van. and it is still on my short list, Rgs dazren

How long have they been in production? I suppose if we see previous models that have been in circulation for at least five years or so then we can measure the quality I would think. There seems to be many brands that are manufactured in Campbellfield & Epping areas of Melbourne & shipped to QLD....I probably should pop in & ask why. We have been looking at vans for awhile now & although we are aware of "You get what you pay for"....I think I will stick with the "proven" names...IMHO

Dear Hayjude
I can answer your question. We bought a 17ft pop top Blue Sky caravan from Bellarine Caravans in Geelong in mid 2008. Since then we have used it on 2 major trips - one to Perth and up to Broome and return (about 15,000km) and last year to Darwin and across to Port Douglas and home down the QLD coast back to Melbourne (similar distance to trip one). We have also done a few smaller trips around Victoria.

The dealer was excellent and the van has been fantastic. I have been towing caravans around Oz for over 30 years and this has been the best van by far. Build quality is excellent and we have had no problems with any part of the van. No rattles or leaks, all secure and working well.

Cupboard and storage space is very good, layout is functional and very comfortable, items supplied (fridge, microwave oven, stove, lights etc) are all of excellent quality. It's a dream to tow (I have a turbo diesel Prado) - smooth and very stable.

Hope that helps. Any specific questions or queries - just ask.
Regards
Rob
