This series, called "The Greatest Aussie Caravan", follows the journey of four husband-and-wife teams as they renovate four classic Australian caravans from the 1970s. During the competition, the teams will need to make important decisions on layout, style, color, practicality, and functionality, all while sticking to strict budget constraints and Tare weight limitations.
Richard Champion will offer hands-on guidance, moving between workstations to provide valuable advice and insider tips. This high-stakes series will span eight weeks, during which the contestants will push their limits, exercise patience, and showcase their expertise as they compete for the title of designing, refurbishing, and constructing The Greatest Aussie Caravan.
