tried + tested caravan review
niche for large family size vans with of road capability.
Demand is so great, On the Move has purchased a new factory
site in Melbourne with plans to upgrade its production capability.

Making Traxx
Today there are six different caravan model lines,
each with such distinct branding, at first glance
they appear to be stand-alone brands.
Top of the range is “No Limits”, 24 feet of off road
luxury including a queen-size bed, separate shower
and toilet and double bunks if builders.
“Grenade” is an attention-grabbing lighter version of
the No Limits series. It has quickly grown to become
the firm’s best seller and best known brand.
Traxx is the latest member of the family. According
to Lennie, the aim was to pack as much in a family offroader as possible for the best possible price.
There are three different models in Traxx range, Mid Door,
Rear Door and Family. As the names suggest, you can choose
whether you want the entry door either near the queen-sized
bed upfront, or up back closer to the rear ensuite bathroom.
The family model comes with a rear door and double bunks
instead of a bathroom. Triple bunks are an option.
Overall it’s hard to tell where the cost savings have come from with
most of the luxury fittings customers would expect including aircon,
double glaze windows, dual 95 litre water tanks and a roll-out awning.
External kit includes Cruisemaster independent suspension, four
drop down stabilizer legs dual 9kg gas bottles and a shower.
Inside, there’s a TV and sound system (with internal and external
speakers), a 175 litre Waeco fridge, oven and range hood, microwave
and porcelain toilet. Only the washing machine is on the extra’s list.

Lennie and Jennifer Mifsud, On the Move Caravans

In Summary
On the Road is a family company which has enjoyed
impressive growth over the past decade by focusing on what
customers want and continually improving their product.
This has helped carve out a niche in the market
for big family vans with off road capability.
Traxx is the benefit of all that experience, wrapped
up in a great value package that’s hard to beat.
It’s a luxury family-sized caravan, capable of going off the bitumen
at a price you’d normally expect for a much more basic model.

Pros
• “Budget” normally
means few inclusions,
not the case with this van
• Loads of storage
including double
door boot
