Frequently Asked Questions
How are the Hollywood and Transformer related to Lotus Caravans?
Both models began life as Universal slide-out caravans, built in Campbellfield until the factory closed in September 2016. Lotus Caravans relaunched the range in 2017, working with at least one of the original owners to redesign it, and the Hollywood and Transformer are now sold directly under the Lotus brand and built to Lotus’s manufacturing standards, warranty and dealer network.
What is the difference between the Hollywood and the Transformer?
The Hollywood is Lotus’s most refined on-road model, built for couples and solo travellers, with two slide-outs revealing a spacious living area finished in Italian leather with three TVs, premium benchtops and twin 95L water tanks. The Transformer is the family-oriented dual slide-out model, adding a slide-out lounge area and slide-out bunks or day lounge on the same Lotus truss chassis foundation.
