the faces behind the adventures
real people, real journeys
real stories from real adventurers. The Kokodian community is full of down-to-earth legends who live for the open road — here’s what they think of their vans, and why they wouldn’t tow anything else.
“We finally got the chance to hit the road for a few weeks in Qld. The van has been amazing, definitely an improvement from the last. The features on this MIA are amazing. We have a few weeks in the snow upcoming — staying warm definitely won’t be an issue. Everything with the van has been perfect, thanks for putting so much energy into the remodels! It’s clear that every detail was designed with real travellers in mind.”

“We have been on many adventures so far in our Force 2 and we’ve had the best experience purchasing from Kokoda Caravans. The team was super helpful from start to finish. The van itself has handled everything we’ve thrown at it — from rough tracks to long hauls — without missing a beat. We highly recommend anyone check these guys/girls out if you’re looking for something reliable and ready for the road. Many more photos coming soon from our big lap — stay tuned!”
“We have been living in the van now for nearly 3 months into a year or so long trip. The quality of the van is excellent and the specialised service from the small family run Kokoda business is what puts them ahead of the rest! From the time of selecting our van and extras (they have also maintained contact to date!), followed by the support and aftercare who are just a call away and always willing to assist with any query, is what we have valued the most. Thanks again team Kokoda!”

"We’ve had many adventures in our Force, including a memorable stop at Alexandra Bridge in the South West of WA, near Karridale just south of Margaret River."

“We are a family of 5 that decided back in 2022 that we needed a lifestyle change. We have since packed up our suburban lives, sold our home, and after looking at many options, decided to work with Kokoda to design and customise a Force 7 to allow us to travel full time and live 100% off grid and travel off road to all our bucket list places.
The process from the initial contact with at Kokoda, to picking up our new home on wheels, to after sales support has been an amazing experience. It looks amazing and we have had other travellers ask about our design."

“From the beginning of our caravanning journey, we have loved our Kokoda — it has been nothing but sensational.
We’ve towed it everywhere we’ve dreamed of going, from rugged outback tracks to stunning coastal escapes, and it has never let us down. The build quality, comfort, and clever design have made every trip smooth and enjoyable, no matter the conditions.
Thank you, Kokoda, for giving our family so many years of happiness and unforgettable memories while exploring some of the most amazing locations around Australia. We can’t wait to see where our Kokoda takes us next.”

“Hard for us to believe that on this day (March 2nd) 3 years ago, we put Melbourne in our rear view mirrors, and set up our first camp of the trip in the Grampians in our Kokoda. Still remember that giddy feeling of excitement that we were finally begin this journey that we had planned and dreamed about for so long. And here we are, starting our 4th year on the road, with no end in sight!
For anyone who’s on the fence about doing a trip around Australia, just take the plunge and do it…you never know what’s around the corner for you. Our Kokoda has been great on our journey. If you have the opportunity to do something like this now, take it - you won’t regret it!"

family adventures made easy.
"We’re travelling Australia in the Kokoda Force VII with our baby. We love how spacious it is, we can all sit at the table with a normal high chair too.
Plenty of room for all of our things and a stockpile of nappies and formula! It tows so well and we’ve had no trouble getting to where we want to go.
It turns a lot of heads because it looks so good, we love it." - The Lamberton Family
“We sold our home in Colac Victoria and I quit my job a couple of months ago. My wife is studying and was a stay at home mum of two, a 3 year old boy, 1 year old girl and our fur baby Luna the long coat German Shepherd.
We are now on our adventure, currently in Mount Gambier, South Australia and enjoying our trip so far in our Kokoda."

“Our Kokoda Scout is an awesome compact van. Perfectly sized for my 2 daughters and I. The colour palette inside and out is modern and oozes quality throughout. Full off road 18ft. Kokoda vans are definitely worth a look. Everyone that has inspected our van has been impressed.
My girls and I look forward to many incredible adventures together."
“We sold our house and left our full-time jobs to travel Australia with our three dogs. We bought a Kokoda Cadet 2 (with bunk beds) to accommodate the pups. The van has been perfect for our adventures — spacious, comfortable, and built tough for every terrain. Thanks to Kokoda, we’re making memories that will last a lifetime.”

“As a family we were looking for more family time while creating amazing memories. We chose the Force 8 because of the layout and the off-road capabilities.
We love that we are not limited to the black top and caravan parks. This van is capable of anything all while looking stylish and modern."
Erin & Leigh @bedrockweekenders
“After dealing with another caravan provider it was a refreshing change to deal with Kokoda. The team proactively kept us up to date on our Scout caravan build and made us feel looked after. Having now had the opportunity to test our Scout out with the two kids off-road, it’s exactly what we hoped for.
It’s extremely easy to set up and pack up and tows well. Importantly the layout inside works well for us, and is very comfortable.
“So far our new Kokoda Caravan has not disappointed. We are so happy with our choice of the MIA triple bunk. We only picked it up days before leaving on our first trip into South Australia so we didn’t get a chance to test anything out before we left, happy to report it’s been amazing. We can’t wait to have many more adventures."
