Real customers, real reviews.

We recently took delivery of our Excalibur X Country Prince from the team at crusader Gateshead in Newcastle. Our journey began with Max helping us every step of the way with our design process. We had many changes along the way but the knowledge and patience of all the staff could not be faulted. A big shout out to Donna who has been with us from day one and a fabulous asset to the team.You were very much appreciated and patient with the endless phone calls. The entire team were exceptional and special thanks to Rick, Kylie and Rob for your knowledge and help along the way. The transition from design to handover was outstanding and we cannot thank you enough. The after sale service has been exceptional with only a phone call needed to help with any questions we have had. It’s great knowing you still have expert backup even though you have driven out their gate. We highly recommend crusader Newcastle to anyone who is thinking about a new van

Crusader Caravans are superior full composite builds


We’re proud of our rock solid reputation for exceptional build quality. One of the ways we do achieve this is by using high-end full composite based panels to form the roof, floor and walls of all new Crusader Caravans. We call this EcoLite full composite material. This innovative material is combined with our advanced manufacturing methods to build a high quality caravan. A similar approach has been employed by other leading manufacturers to build trucks, trains, trams and planes for years. Crusader Caravans are proud leaders in the use of composite materials in the caravan industry with extensive experience.

What does this mean? This means your caravan will be typically stronger, lighter and superior to traditional build caravans.
