Have your say

AUSTRALIA'S peak body for the caravanning and camping industry is now official bedfellows with the Australian Made Campaign.

The Caravan Industry Association of Australia's new partnership will support and promote Aussie manufacturers which contribute to the nation's RV industry.

"The Australian caravan manufacturing industry is steeped in history and continues to prosper despite strong international competition when other automotive manufacturing in Australia is falling away," CIAA chief executive Stuart Lamont said.

"The local manufacturing industry designs and manufactures these products for the harsh conditions that Australians like to put their products through.

"Australian consumers deserve to better understand that a strong local Australian manufacturing industry exists and where their RV products come from."

Australian Made Campaign chief executive Ben Lazzaro said it was "wonderful" to see the Australian Made logo paired with Caravan Industry Association of Australia.

"Caravanning and camping are quintessential Australian pastimes which are underpinned by an extensive network of businesses, including some of Australia's most impressive manufacturers," he said.

"This industry produces some of the highest quality products and employs thousands of Australians, so it's important we support it and help it continue to thrive."

The Australian Made Campaign logo is underpinned by a third-party accreditation system which ensures products bearing the logo are certified as genuinely Australian.

This means customers can be sure they are buying authentic products made to demanding Australian standards.
