Spinifex Caravans was founded in 2007 by Steve Thompson with a deliberately uncompromising goal: to create true custom off-road caravans from the ground up. Nearly two decades on, the Queensland-based brand is one of the most respected custom builders in the country.
What sets Spinifex apart is the depth of in-house manufacturing across two Queensland facilities. An advanced Caboolture shop builds its own Australian steel chassis and aluminium frames, hot-dip galvanised for lifelong rust protection, while upholstery, plumbing and final construction come together at the Deception Bay HQ.
The range moves from the lightweight Xscape country-road caravan, through the NomadiX full custom off-road experience, to the ElectreX Premier fully electric van, giving genuinely custom luxury buyers a shortlist that consistently rises to the top.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much of a Spinifex caravan is built in-house?
A great deal of it. Spinifex operates two Queensland facilities: an advanced fabrication shop in Caboolture where the team builds its own Australian steel chassis and aluminium frames, and a Deception Bay headquarters where upholstery, plumbing and final construction come together. Every chassis is hot-dip galvanised for lifelong rust protection before final assembly.
What comes standard on a Spinifex off-road caravan?
Every standard Spinifex build includes lithium batteries, air conditioning, a washing machine and the full luxury fit-out, with no half measures. Interiors feature hand-stitched microfibre leather upholstery, soft-closing runners on every drawer and door, heavy-duty vinyl flooring and a luxurious innerspring mattress, all in a van engineered to handle endless dirt roads.
