More than 30,000 West Aussies flocked to Claremont Showgrounds last month for the 52nd Perth Caravan & Camping Show, showcasing the state’s biggest range of caravans, campers, trailers, and accessories from Thursday, March 20, to Sunday, March 23.

The Western 4W Driver team was on-site in the Tourism Pavillion, meeting our readers and sharing stories about our travels across the state.

“It was great to have the opportunity to meet so many of our readers during the event,” said Western 4W Driver Editor Brayden Edwards. “Some people said they had been reading the mag since the very first edition and still can’t wait to get their hands on it when every new issue comes out. It means a lot to see how the magazine has been a part of their lives for such a long time!”

The Western 4W Driver was also thrilled to give away some awesome daily prizes thanks to our amazing prize sponsors Maxtrax, Go Camping & Overlanding, MSA 4×4 Accessories, and Queen of the Murchison, along with free Western 4W Driver stubby holders for all our readers!

It was also great to rub shoulders with some other great organisations in the Tourism Pavillion, including all five of WA’s regional tourism bodies, along with representatives from outback destinations, tour providers and more.

Outside the pavillion, it was interesting to see all the new products and ideas on display.

The Snowy River Caravans’ VanCave—a man cave on wheels kitted out with massage and heated recliners, TVs, and beer taps—certainly drew a crowd, while Gypsy King Caravans, a new WA-born brand, impressed with their rugged, off-grid-ready vans designed for adventure.

Innovation was also on display in the tech space, where solar and lithium battery solutions continued to trend, driven by a growing interest in off-grid travel.

As it prepares to celebrate 53 years in 2025, the show is now gearing up for its southern counterpart, the Busselton Caravan & Camping Show, which rolls into the South West town from Saturday, September 20, to Sunday, September 21.
