At Nova Caravans, we pride ourselves on building Australian-made caravans that go the distance — engineered to thrive in the toughest conditions while delivering premium comfort and performance. Two standout construction features that define our durability and innovation are the ECO~TUFF one-piece sandwich panels and the Lightweight One-Piece Poly Honeycomb Floor. Let’s take a closer look at how these technologies elevate your caravan experience.
1. Nova ECO~TUFF Sandwich Construction
One-Piece Walls, Front, Roof, and Rear – Made in Australia. Our ECO~TUFF construction features one-piece walls, front, roof, and rear panels, manufactured right here in Australia using Creative Composites. This timber-free system offers unrivalled strength, protection, and longevity.
Key Benefits:
Seamless Design. Say goodbye to external joints. Our one-piece construction significantly reduces the risk of water ingress, delivering superior structural integrity and leak resistance.
Engineered for Strength. The panels are reinforced with hardened PVC in key structural areas, offering superior load-bearing support and long-term resilience.
Excellent Insulation. The closed-cell insulation properties deliver outstanding thermal efficiency and noise reduction, keeping your van cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Lightweight & Durable. Strong yet lightweight, ECO~TUFF panels enhance fuel efficiency and make towing smoother and more stable on and off the road.
Moisture-Proof & Rot-Resistant. Unlike traditional timber caravans, our timber-free panels are immune to rot, mould, and mildew — making them ideal for Australia’s varied climate.
2. Lightweight One-Piece Poly Honeycomb Floor - Standard on Our Off-Road Terra Sportz Range. Our flooring is just as tough and innovative as our walls. Manufactured by Worthington Industries, the one-piece Poly Honeycomb floor is designed to withstand the demands of adventurous travel.
Key Benefits:
Lightweight Yet Incredibly Strong. Thermo-fused polypropylene with fibreglass reinforcement offers maximum strength without the extra weight.
100% Waterproof & Impact-Resistant. Whether you’re crossing creeks or corrugated tracks, this floor is built to handle the elements with ease.
No Squeaks, No Delamination. The seamless, join-free design eliminates movement and wear between panels, so you can say goodbye to annoying squeaks and floor degradation.
Eco-Conscious Design
Fully recyclable and environmentally friendly — it’s a sustainable choice for eco-minded travellers.
Why it Matters. By combining ECO~TUFF sandwich construction panels with the Poly Honeycomb floor, Nova Caravans delivers a TIMBERFREE caravan construction method that’s not only tougher — but smarter. Our commitment to innovation, quality materials, and Australian manufacturing ensures every Nova Caravan is ready to explore the harshest conditions with confidence.
Built for Adventure. Designed for Life.
Experience the difference that advanced construction makes. Whether you’re heading off-grid in the Nova Terra Sportz or cruising the coast in one of our touring models, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a caravan built on strength, durability, and Australian innovation.
