In 2012 Steve and his dad returned to building caravans. Steve soon tired of using the age old stapled timber frame and as he had been trained in Steel Fabrication he decided to use his qualifications as a TIG welder. He realised the industry needed a serious upgrade, away from timber and into aluminium. Aluminium caravan frames are normally rivetted, which has it’s own issues, so TIG welding seemed a natural step forward. Steve moved forward building a reputation in the Hybrid Off-Road Caravan industry and subsequently was in demand as a custom Off-Road manufacturer.
Word soon got around and Steve was approached by the Hinterland Group to supply a range of extreme Off-Road caravans. This range was extremely successful and has since grown into an amazing range of semi and full Off-Road Caravans.
in 2019, to cater for the demand, Steve moved Urban Caravans into a much larger factory aiming to build a national dealer network that would supply Urban Caravans to the entire nation.
Currently the projected build rate is only three to four a week to maintain strict quality control.
