ABOUT US
Rough Road produces off-grid caravans & trailers specifically for New Zealand conditions. Our models are built for rough terrain, long-distance travel, and reliable off-grid performance.
What we do
- Heavy-Duty Chassis: All caravans are built on reinforced off-road chassis systems suitable for New Zealand’s varied terrain.
- Independent Suspension: Fully independent suspension systems come standard for stability and control on pot-holed and unsealed roads.
- Off-Grid Ready: Every model includes lithium batteries, solar panels, and efficient charging systems as standard equipment.
- Water Storage & Filtration: Large-capacity water tanks and filtration systems make our caravans suitable for remote and long-term use.
- Durable Construction: Caravans are built with composite panels and aluminum framing for strength, insulation, and reduced weight.
- NZ-Assembled: All caravans are finished in New Zealand with locally managed electrical, plumbing, sealing, and quality control.
Like many leading Australian caravan brands, our base frames and bodies are manufactured in China by the same specialist builders used across the industry — including some of Australia’s best-known off-road brands. This global manufacturing approach allows us to maintain consistent structural quality and cost efficiency, so we can deliver the best value for money in the New Zealand market.
On arrival, every caravan is completed and finished right here in New Zealand. Our local team handles the completion stages — including fitting of suspension, tyres, gas & electrical certifications, solar installation, air-con installation and compliance. The end result is a caravan purpose-built for New Zealand, by people who understand New Zealand conditions.
We’re proud of our process and stand behind the quality, safety, and durability of every caravan we deliver.
