Great family business with old fashioned values. Good value for money new and used caravans and very knowledgeable with all aspects of the sale right up to handover. Would recommend you give these guys a chance before signing with others as you get what you pay for.

Picked up our new van today the service we had was absolutely excellent. Dale went through everything thoroughly with us and the van itself was spotless. We have dealt with Takalvans before and there after sales service is always first rate, we wouldn't go anywhere else.

The service you receive here is fantastic. We had our caravan serviced and a leak fixed. This team are extremely professional, and nothing seems to be a problem. They went above and beyond to help us. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Just a short note to let you know we arrived home safely last Friday with caravan intact (nil incidents or damage) and I have since returned to work. Marie and I also wanted to convey our heartfelt thanks for yours and Takalvans staff members assistance to us in the delivery of our van. We are still pinching ourselves at the outcome of our purchase and are extremely happy and satisfied with our experience. We have since seen your post on your Facebook site and could not keep the smiles from our faces on sighting it. We were quite anxious at the start of our purchase, but you made it a smooth experience from start to finish and for that we will be always in your debt.

So, here we are at the end of one road and the start of the next in the form of a major investment. We began in 2014 with a 14 foot, 1973, Millard Caravan that we bought to ‘see if we might like to travel via caravan’... We clearly did and contacted ‘Takalvans’ on our return to Bundaberg to see if we could trade up to another, larger van... At the time they were the local agent for Coromal vans, and we were surprised with the immediate, professional, and friendly reception we got when we talked to them. Needless to say, we traded up. And here we are 6 Caravans later with a brand new ‘New Age Big Red Slider’. We could not have imagined that in a brief 7 years we could have achieved the climb from 14 Foot second hand to a New Age latest model. But that is a testament to the help we got from the team at ‘Takalvans’. Nothing is too difficult. Nothing is too hard. Nothing is out of reach. Talk to this team of professionals and you will find a level of ‘Yes’ that is rare in these modern times. My wife and I are proud to be a member of the ever growing ‘Takalvans New Age’ client team and recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy a first caravan or looking to trade up to a larger or better equipped van. Thank you to Dale, Natalie, and the rest of the ‘Takalvans New Age’ team for making our dreams come true...

Great service, nothing was a problem while deciding on the build of our caravan.

We recently purchased a New Age Manta Ray Caravan from Takalvans in Bundaberg. Justin Gorrie, the Salesperson was a delight to deal with, nothing was a problem. In fact, all the staff at Takalvans in Bundaberg were terrific. Many Thanks.

After three years of galivanting around Australia in a 2017 New Age 5.5m Manta Ray, we decided to upgrade to enjoy more of this great land. In October 2019 Takalvans began their retail relationship with New Age Caravans and we called in to see what was available. We were met (as one would expect) with smiles, but also, they listened without the "sales talk". We sat and discussed the possibilities of a specific built upgrade with Natalie. It was a Saturday (the end of the promotion) and Neta’s birthday the next day. She commented on the flowers, and low and behold Dale (the owner), presented her with a bunch. We traded in and in the next few months we were given updates on the progress of the manufacture of our van. On collection day I was impressed with the effort put in to ensure the van was towable by checking brakes and of course a two-hour run down on van operations. Can’t wait to test it locally and then head West. Thank you Takalvans. As Arnie said, “we'll be back".

We wanted more power in order to stay off-grid for longer in my late model 21' Jayco Silverline Outback caravan. After searching throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast I called Takalvans in Bundaberg where I spoke to Dale. I explained that I wanted to stay with the BMPRO battery management system as it was already installed in the Silverline. It was immediately obvious that he had a deep understanding of this system and within a few days of emails being swapped back and forth, we had a system worked out and priced. After paying the deposit I was booked in and drove the 5 hours from Brisbane up to Bundaberg. The lads installed 5 x 200W solar panels, 3 x 200 Ah Lithium Batteries a 2,000W inverter and all the latest BMPRO power management systems reporting to the already installed JHub tablet. They also installed the BMPRO SmartSense range of Monitors for Tyre Pressures, Fridge and Freezer temperatures and Gas Bottle Levels, all of which also reported back to the JHub tablet or App downloaded from Play Store. They also installed a brand new Dometic Harrier air conditioner and were good enough to do some other minor repairs while the van was there. The installed system works perfectly, and we now have almost unlimited off-grid power to run our appliances and the A/C, all height if needed. Thank you to Dale and the team at Takalvans in Bundaberg.

We were so thrilled with the customer service from the team at Takalvans throughout our journey from initial order to delivery. Justin in sales was an excellent communicator with us through the whole process, even with the unexpected delays, etc, that COVID brought. He was always available to answer questions and find solutions for us. The hand over was thorough with a clear run through and each feature explained. They even set up our car's brakes and mirrors, getting us ready to roll. We can't wait to make use of new New Age Caravans caravan. Thank you to all at Takalvans. We are so grateful.

Very efficient and professional service for my hail damaged caravan. Looks like new again. Would highly recommend. Well worth the 4-hr drive to get it there.

The best and most efficient and prompt customer service we have ever experienced regarding our recently purchased used New Age Caravan. All other New Age businesses that we contacted for much needed spare parts, never responded or replied to our enquiries or requests, but Dale was able to help us with just one contact. The most outstanding customer service we have ever experienced. Keep it up guys!

Had warranty work and some accessories added, a very professional business with reasonable prices that takes the time to explain and advise.

Thank you all so much for your amazing customer service from the time we went to look and spoke to Justin, to the finance guy, Terry who did a fabulous job walking us through everything in our van. We couldn't be happier with all your friendly faces in the shop and photo man that came out to chat. Amazing company to go through and very helpful. Thanks heaps, for all you did for us to get our beautiful New Age Bilby on the road.

A big thank you to the team at Takalvans Bundaberg for doing the first service on our New Age - Oz Classic. They also fitted 2 x new boxes under the van, so I don't have to rummage through the front box to find the chocks etc. Great professional team to work with and dam nice people.

Highly recommend Takalvans Bundaberg, we enjoyed the whole experience of purchasing our first van RO16Ft Adventure Pop Top. Justin did an amazing job from the beginning, keeping us in the loop all the way, answering any queries we had promptly right up to the handover. Dale's handover was brilliant he explained and showed us everything in detail on the van. Once again thanks for the amazing experience of our purchase.
John Thompson & Family
Just thought I'd drop you all a quick line to say a big thanks to for sorting out our van as we've been travelling. You know whenever people chat to us about the van, we always say a van's only as good as the service / dealer backup. There’re so many people with horror stories. You're all a credit to the industry – if only there were more service like yours around!
Jason & Toni Taylor
Just purchased our first caravan, a New Age Road Owl. Can't thank the whole team at Takalvans enough. Justin in sales for the advice during the decision process, the updates while we were waiting for delivery and the thorough handover by Terry on the day of pickup. Just completed our first 8-night trip encountering sunshine and pouring rain. We have had no problems and no leaks. Van towed smoothly thanks to the set up prior to pick up. Highly recommend Takalvans for purchasing a caravan and for their great range of accessories.
Jason & Michelle Brew
Friendly staff and professional service. We were very happy with our buying experience from the first phone call to the handover. Staff were not pushy at all, very relaxed, country hospitality. We look forward to driving the 3.5 hours for future services as we are happy to support this lovely family run business.
James & Glenda Page
Thank you for the lovely gift box you gave us. Lots of lovely goodies in it. We really appreciate your thoughtfulness. Everyone we dealt with was excellent which made the purchase of the van stress free. Thank you once again.

We recently had some storm damage to our caravan repaired. We would like to thank the amazing and professional workmanship that was done to our van. It looks so good, like new! As it was just before Christmas, we appreciated the quick time frame that the work was done in. Thank you all again for the wonderful service.

Describe this dealership in one word. Impeccable. Nothing but the best of service from the moment we walked in to have a look, till we left with the new Manta Ray. Totally amazing customer service and complete professionalism the whole way. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys, and I can't recommend them enough. Thanks guys. It is a fantastic van.
