How much is that driveway ornament actually costing you? 😬

If your caravan spends more time being an extension of the house than out chasing adventures, the answer might be more than you think.

We ran the numbers on buying, hiring and membership. 👀

Buying a caravan can feel like the obvious choice if you travel regularly—but how often do you actually need to use it? We compare the real cost of buying, hiring and Unbound RV at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60 days a year.

Thinking about buying a caravan? Run the numbers first.

Buying a caravan can look pretty straightforward until you factor in depreciation, insurance, registration, maintenance, finance and storage.

So we’ve built a simple Caravan Cost Calculator that lets you compare the indicative cost of:

Owning a caravan vs hiring vs Unbound RV

Just enter the value of the caravan you’d consider buying and how many days a year you’d realistically use it.

The calculator will do the rest

It only takes a minute and the result might surprise you.

💭 Have you ever compared the real cost of different holiday styles?

When planning a family getaway, most of us compare destinations…

But how often do we compare how we holiday?

Whether you:
🚐 Own a caravan
🚐 Rent a caravan
🏡 Stay in holiday accommodation
⭐ Or use a caravan membership
..each option has different upfront costs, ongoing expenses and levels of flexibility.

We've put together a simple comparison to help show the typical costs of each, including:
✔ Annual ownership or holiday costs
✔ Average cost per holiday day
✔ Typical annual usage
✔ What each option is best suited to

There isn't a "one-size-fits-all" answer—every family travels differently. The aim is simply to provide some perspective so you can decide what works best for your lifestyle and budget.

Take a look at the infographic and let us know…

👋 Founder Spotlight

Hi, I'm Shaun, the founder of Unbound RV.

I thought it was time to introduce myself and share a little about why Unbound RV exists.

🚐 Tell us a little about yourself

I'm Shaun. I am Dad to 3 awesome kids, and we love getting outdoors whenever we can. Whether it's camping, exploring a new destination or enjoying a weekend away, I believe some of life's best memories are made outdoors.

💡 What inspired you to create Unbound RV?

After five years in the caravan hire industry, I noticed a common theme—people loved the idea of owning a caravan, but many couldn't justify the cost when it would spend most of the year parked in storage.

That inspired me to create Unbound RV. Our goal is to give people access to premium caravans and the freedom to explore Australia without the financial commitment and ongoing responsibilities of ownership. It's about making caravan travel more accessible while building a membership model that's sustainable for the long term.

❤️ What do you love most about caravan travel?

For me, it's all not just the destination, but also the drive. I like getting on the road, discovering new places and seeing the small towns along the way.

Travelling with kids isn't always perfect, feels like im pulling hair out, but seeing them explore new places, make friends and turn the simplest moments into unforgettable adventures is what makes caravanning so special to me

🌏 What's your favourite camping or caravan destination you've visited?

Still so much to see, but one of my favourites is local to us here in Brisbane. Flinders Beach on Stradbroke Island. It's easy to get to, can be secluded with not to many people and direct access to the beach.

⛺ If you could hook up one of our caravans tomorrow, where would you go?

Probably start going South, haven't had a lot of travel in coastal NSW but one trip I want to do, is to do a Sth Coast NSW and Vic High Country trip. Have't worked out the itinerary yet but it would be an awesome 3 week trip.

🤔 What's one thing people often don't realise about Caravanning?

I think people underestimate how much freedom caravanning gives you. You're not tied to hotel check-in times or rigid travel plans. If you find a place you love, you can stay a little longer. If you hear about a hidden beach or a great country pub, you can change your plans and go. That flexibility is what makes every trip unique.

🧰 What's one item you never leave home without on a camping trip?

Spare water bladder! My family has no concept of water usage! I carry a spare 200L water bladder in the car.

🚀 What excites you most about the future of Unbound RV?

I'm really excited about building more than just a caravan membership—I'm excited about building a community of people who love exploring Australia. I hope Unbound RV becomes a place where members share destinations, travel tips and stories, inspiring each other to discover somewhere new.

💬 Finally...

If you've been thinking about trying caravan travel but haven't taken the leap yet, I'd love to encourage you to give it a go.

Some of the best memories are made around a campfire, on a quiet beach, or while watching the sunrise from somewhere new.

That's exactly why we created Unbound RV—to make those experiences more accessible, without the responsibilities of ownership.

Now I'd love to hear from you!

👇 What's your favourite camping destination in Queensland, or where's the next place on your bucket list?

Drop it in the comments—I’m always looking for new places to explore.
