See what people are saying
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 caravan. Thank you to all at Takalvans. We are so grateful.

We wanted more power in order tostay 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 200 Watt solar panels, 3 x 200 Ah Lithium Batteries a 2,000 Watt 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 Playstore. 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 night if needed. Thank you to Dale and the team at Takalvans in Bundaberg.

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. 🙏

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 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.

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 pickup. Highly recommend Takalvans for purchasing a caravan and for their great range of accessories.

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.

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.
Cheers Kev & Stacey
We have just purchased our new Road Owl from Takalvans Bundaberg. We were very impressed with the service from the first phone call.

We were also very impressed with all of the staff and it was a delight doing business with this family orientated company. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caravan. Cheers.

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.
Cheers

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.

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.
Jason & Michelle Brew

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.
James & Glenda Page
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.
Robert & Marie Hucker
Had warranty work and some accessories added, a very professional business with reasonable prices that takes the time to explain and advise.

Kevin & Neta are ready to head West in their New Age Manta Ray MR18 Adventurer.
After three years of galavanting around Australia in a 2017 New Age 5.5 mtr Manta Ray, we decided to upgrade to enjoy more of this great land. In October 2019 Takalvans began their retail relationship with New Age and we called in too 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. Cant wait to test it locally and then head West. Thank you Takalvans. As Arnie said, "we'll be back".
Neta Whitton
We are both so happy with our van and the service we received from your business. We will recommend you to anyone who asks. You made the whole experience so easy particularly "first timers!" We are now looking forward to our first holiday. Again many thanks.
Brad & Alison Smith
Sales team were excellent. No pushy staff, great trade in price. Delivery hand over was thorough, not hurried, well explained. Follow up calls to check on satisfaction great. Would highly recommend this dealer.
Dennis Johnson
Takalvans are amazing...they have given us support and excellent advice even though they know we bought our caravan while in Brisbane...I would drive across country to buy from them next time...they're genuine good guys.
Chris Mallett
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.
Dale & Kaylene Mann via Google
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's so many people with horror stories. You're all a credit to the industry - if only there were more service like yours around!
John Thompson & Family
We would recommend Takalvans to everyone. We have been impressed with your service and appreciate the prompt service when attending to warranty issues. Nothing has been a problem.
Gary & Judy Duthie from Alice Springs
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.
Robert Watson
Just had our New Age Manta Ray serviced here from out of town, they were fantastic to deal with on the phone with all of my questions and concerns as family dropped it down and picked it up for us. Thank you.
