Family-run RV Sales Australia: Excellence in Caravans and Motorhomes
Find out more about this Melbourne-based dealership, owned and operated by the Pannunzio family
Family-owned and operated, RV Sales Australia was founded in 2015 by George Pannunzio and specialises in quality-built caravans and motorhomes sold throughout Australia and even New Zealand. Based in Thomastown, Victoria, the family element behind RV Sales Australia cannot go unnoticed, with not only George but his wife Carmen and two sons, James and Jack, all playing integral roles throughout the business.
The company is backed by many years of experience in the industry — George alone has more than 30 years’ experience in sales and 10+ years involvement in the caravan industry — all of which aids in the team’s ability to work closely with customers and find the best van or motorhome to suit their requirements, taste and intended use.
Exploring the range
RV Sales Australia places its success on its ability to offer customers competitive pricing, quality-built caravans and motorhomes and its excellent customer service. The team pride themselves on the atmosphere of honesty and trustworthiness that they create with all customers, ensuring that every buyer has the best possible experience and heads home with the perfect van or motorhome to suit their needs.
The company offers a large range of brands to choose from, including Carrera Caravans — who are noted as one of RV Sales Australia’s top-tier manufacturers in terms of quality builds — Opal Caravans, Regal Caravans, New Design Caravans and RP Caravans.
One of Carrera Caravan’s popular models, the iVenture III, was recently reviewed in Caravan World by regular contributor John Hughes. John met up with the Pannunzio family at their Melbourne-based dealership to test out this 21ft 6in family van and was impressed by the quality of the build and the level of care and experience that the family puts into the business. Whether it’s providing both first-time or experienced buyers with towing tips and advice or recommending colour palettes to help keep the van cooler, the team are there to help.
RV Sales’ range ensures there’s something for everyone, but the team highlights its key customers as couples and young families who enjoy travelling Australia and exploring many of the great locations this beautiful country has to offer. Family bunks, such as the Carrera iVenture III which boasts a tried-and-true layout, are some of RV Sales’ bestselling products.
When asked for their top recommendations they offer to new owners keen to hit the road, the team was quick to offer the following:
- The WA coast — there are plenty of great beaches and the weather is superb
- K'gari (Fraser Island) in Queensland — the world’s largest sand island with a stunning natural environment
- Uluru (Ayers Rock), NT — an iconic bucket list destination, and while you’re there don’t miss the chance to explore what else Australia’s beautiful red centre has to offer
Quality builds
All vans offered by RV Sales Australia are made locally in Campbellfield, Epping and Craigieburn. The latest and most reliable materials, designs, components and colour selections are utilised throughout RV Sales’ range to ensure the longevity of the caravans and motorhomes. One of the important factors the team emphasises throughout the manufacturing process is the quality finish of the caravans, and Australian-made components are incorporated wherever possible. Customers can rest easy with Swift cooktops and hot water units, Australian-made toolboxes and stone-guard shields and various Dometic components such as fridges, air-conditioners, windows, hatches and toilets.
The assurance of reliability does not stop there. Once collected from the factory, all RV Sales’ caravans and motorhomes undergo a thorough pre-delivery process, which starts once collected from the factory and concludes at the dealership itself. This process allows the team to identify any possible issues prior to the van being delivered to the customer. If an issue is identified, RV Sales works with the manufacturer to immediately rectify the issue before the van or motorhome is made available for purchase.
Future-proofing
The team at RV Sales is committed to offering excellent customer service before, during and after the sale. Customers are encouraged to contact the team if they ever have an issue with the van or motorhome, or even if they simply have a question. RV Sales wants all customers to enjoy peace of mind, and to help with this, the company offers a complementary four-year extended nationwide warranty on all Carrera caravans.
Looking to the future, RV Sales’ aim is to continue its growth and expansion as a company and build upon its strong reputation of providing reliable and trustworthy service and high-quality caravans and motorhomes.
