In the land of fair dinkum outback camper trailers, few names resonate as profoundly as TRACK’s Tvan. This year, TRACK marks a significant milestone: the 25th anniversary of the Tvan, a trailblazer that didn’t just enter the camper trailer market—it created its own segment. To commemorate this remarkable journey, TRACK has unveiled two special edition models, the FIRETAIL and the FIRETAIL SPARK, at the 2024 Victorian Caravan and Camping Supershow.
The Journey of Innovation
Conceived by the late Alan Mawson and Gerard Waldron, the Tvan has become an Australian icon synonymous with unparalleled off-road capability and exceptional build quality. From its inception, the Tvan was more than a camper trailer; it was a vision of outdoor freedom that has evolved with its audience over 25 years. Desmond Waldron, Engineering Manager at Track Trailer, reflects, “It’s the camper trailer hybrid that began the camper trailer hybrids here in Australia.”
A Celebration of Heritage: The Firetail Editions
In honour of this 25-year legacy, TRACK has introduced two anniversary models: the FIRETAIL and the FIRETAIL SPARK. Both editions pay homage to Tvan’s rich heritage, named after the project’s original ‘code name’ and featuring striking new colour schemes and custom decals. The FIRETAIL, starting at $76,500, caters to the minimalist adventurer, offering modern luxuries like diesel heating and hot water in remote locales without superfluous additions.
Conversely, the FIRETAIL SPARK, priced at $86,500, represents a leap towards the future. It incorporates the latest in TRACK’s innovative engineering, including an upgraded electrical system and premium kitchen features, setting a new standard for what campers can expect from luxury and functionality on the road.
Exclusive Features of the Anniversary Models
The FIRETAIL editions aren’t just about celebrating the past; they’re about redefining the future of camping. Each model boasts features designed for the ultimate outdoor adventure, from advanced battery systems and solar panels to unique colour schemes and ergonomic designs prioritizing functionality over cost-cutting. These special editions encapsulate the essence of Tvan: a commitment to quality, innovation, and the spirit of adventure.
The Legacy Continues
As the FIRETAIL models take centre stage at the Victorian Caravan and Camping Supershow, it’s clear that the Tvan’s journey is far from over. The enduring legacy of TRACK’s pioneering spirit promises more innovation, more adventures, and more unforgettable memories for those who choose to explore the wild with Tvan.
From its rugged beginnings to its status as an off-road icon, the Tvan has traversed a remarkable path. The FIRETAIL editions are not just a celebration of 25 years of excellence but a testament to the adventures that lie ahead. Join us in commemorating this milestone and embracing the future of outdoor exploration with TRACK’s Tvan.
