Why buy a house when you can get a factory-built caravan for under $100,000?
LDV have announced a solid option for those looking to live the van life with its new campervan version of the Deliver 9, priced at $89,990 drive-away.
This makes it one of the most affordable factory-built campers in the Australian market, undercutting rivals like the Volkswagen Crafter Kampervan, which is priced from $157,990 plus on-road costs.
“Campervans have grown in popularity over the past decade as an increasing number of Australians choose to explore the great outdoors on their own terms, their own timetable – and in their own vehicle,” said the General Manager of LDV Australia, Dinesh Chinnappa.
“This factory-built campervan is decked out with everything you need for a getaway – ready to go, straight off the showroom floor.
“We believe the LDV Deliver 9 campervan will help expand an emerging market segment.”

Standard features for this factory-built camper include a kitchen sink, a 96-litre fridge (including a freezer), a microwave, an induction cooktop, a toilet, and even two showers – one inside and one outside.
Clever touches include both driver and passenger seats that swivel to face the living area, a foldaway dining table, a double bed that can be set up in under a minute, a retractable awning for shady afternoons, plus an electric step and sliding fly screens to keep the critters out.
When parked at caravan parks, the large airconditioning unit, mounted on the roof of the vehicle, can be operated when the LDV Deliver 9 campervan is running on 240V mains electricity power outlets.

If power outlets are limited, the van is capable of keeping up on its own with a built-in 2.56 kWh lithium battery and a 190kW solar panel.
As for water, an essential to any camping trip, there is a 100-litre tank, a 100-litre grey water tank and a 16-litre toilet tank to round out the off-grid credentials.
Under the bonnet, the Delver 9 campervan features a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine paired with a six-speed auto capable of producing 108kW and 375Nm of torque.

With an 80-litre fuel tank and a 2800kg towing capacity, it’s capable of hauling extra gear or a small trailer when needed.
The first version coming to Aussie dealers in October will be four-seaters, and LDV is backing the van with a three-year warranty with a separate cover for the camper gear and electrics.
The Delver 9 campervan joins a growing market for ready-made adventure vans as more Australians opt to explore the country on their own terms.
