Buying a caravan is a major decision. A showroom visit can help you compare finishes, features and layouts, but it cannot fully show you what it feels like to tow the caravan, prepare a meal, spend a night off-grid or live in the space as a couple or family.
That is why Harvok created Stay & Try: a practical way for prospective buyers to hire a fully equipped Harvok caravan and experience it in real-world conditions before placing an order.
Delivered in partnership with Dirt Gear Australia, Stay & Try gives you the option to tow a Harvok on your own adventure or have it delivered and set up within the available service area.
It is a genuine opportunity to move beyond brochures and specifications and discover whether the Harvok experience is right for you.
If you go on to place an eligible Harvok order following your experience, your hire costs may be reimbursed under the current Stay & Try program terms.
Why try a caravan before you buy?
Two caravans can look similar on paper yet feel very different once you are travelling.
A real trial gives you time to understand the details that often matter most after purchase. You can see how easily you move through the layout, whether there is enough storage for your gear and how the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living spaces work during a normal day.
If you are considering a family caravan, you can experience how everyone uses the space at breakfast, bedtime and every moment in between.
Most importantly, hiring a caravan before buying helps turn assumptions into firsthand experience. Instead of wondering whether a particular size, layout or system will suit your travel plans, you can make notes from a real trip and use them to have a more informed conversation with the Harvok team.
What can you experience during a Harvok Stay & Try?
1. Experience the layout in everyday use
A caravan floorplan is more than a drawing.
During your stay, you can test how the interior works when you are cooking, relaxing, getting ready for the day and settling in for the night.
Pay attention to the space around the bed, seating position, kitchen bench area, storage access and bathroom usability. These observations can help you decide whether a couples or family layout is the better fit for the way you intend to travel.
Explore the complete Harvok caravan range before requesting your preferred Stay & Try model or layout.
2. Use Harvok’s integrated 48V electric system
Harvok caravans are designed around an integrated 48V electric power platform.
A Stay & Try experience lets you see how the electrical system supports everyday appliances and off-grid living without relying on gas.
Instead of only reading a list of battery and solar specifications, you can experience how your normal routine affects energy use. Try cooking, cooling the caravan, charging your devices and using the onboard systems as you would during your own travels.
Discover how the Harvok 48V electric power system supports comfortable, gasless caravan travel.
3. Test the comfort beyond the showroom
You only really understand a caravan’s comfort after spending meaningful time inside it.
A night or weekend away can show you how the bed, insulation, lighting, ventilation and living area feel across different parts of the day.
It also gives you an opportunity to discover the smaller details that can shape long-term ownership—from where you naturally place your belongings to how easy it is to move through the caravan when someone else is using the kitchen or ensuite.
4. Experience towing and campsite setup
If you have a suitable tow vehicle and meet the applicable hire requirements, towing the caravan yourself can help you understand its size and towing behaviour on real roads.
You can also experience arriving at a campsite, positioning the caravan and completing the normal setup for your stay.
If towing is not suitable for you, Dirt Gear may be able to deliver and set up the caravan within 300 kilometres of its Taree, NSW base, subject to destination, availability and booking conditions.
This means you can still experience living in a Harvok at a caravan park or suitable destination without towing it yourself.
5. Discover the Harvok difference in real conditions
Every Harvok combines a robotically welded, full-aluminium monocoque body with integrated 48V electric power and vehicle-inspired aerodynamic design.
These elements are designed to work together as one complete caravan.
Stay & Try gives you time to experience that complete product away from the showroom and consider how it suits your intended mix of touring, caravan park stays and off-grid travel.

Complete the Harvok Stay & Try enquiry form with your contact details, preferred dates, model or layout interests and relevant tow-vehicle information.

Your request will be sent to Harvok’s official hire partner, Dirt Gear Australia.
The Dirt Gear team will contact you to discuss availability and the most suitable option for your trip.
Step 3: Confirm your booking
Dirt Gear will explain the applicable hire price, booking requirements, caravan availability and towing or delivery arrangements.

Step 5: Buy with greater confidence
If you decide Harvok is right for you, speak with the Harvok team about the model and configuration that best match what you learned during the experience.
Eligible hire costs may be reimbursed when you place a qualifying Harvok order, subject to the current Stay & Try program terms.
The caravans supplied through Dirt Gear are professionally maintained and prepared for hire. Model, layout and date availability may vary, so submitting your preferred dates early is recommended.
What should you test during your caravan trial?
Treat the trip as both a holiday and a practical test. Before leaving, make a short list based on your future travel plans.
Consider checking:
- Whether the layout feels comfortable for every traveller
- Bed access and sleeping comfort
- Kitchen bench space and appliance use
- Internal and external storage
- Bathroom space and usability
- Battery and solar performance during your normal routine
- Heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation
- Pack-up and campsite setup time
- Towing behaviour with your suitable tow vehicle
- How easily the caravan fits into the campsites you expect to use
Keep notes throughout the trip.
The goal is not simply to decide whether you like the caravan. It is to identify the size, layout, equipment and options that will best support your future travel.
Who is Harvok Stay & Try designed for?
Stay & Try may be particularly valuable if you are:
- Buying your first caravan and want practical experience before committing
- Moving from a camper trailer or smaller caravan into a larger model
- Comparing couples and family layouts
- New to 48V all-electric caravanning
- Planning longer or more independent off-grid trips
- Unsure whether your preferred caravan size suits your travel style
- Interested in Harvok but unable to learn everything you need from a showroom visit
- Not ready or able to tow but still want to experience caravan living through delivery and setup
Whether you are planning weekend escapes, extended touring or more independent off-grid travel, a real stay can help you make a better-informed decision.
Choose confidence before commitment
A caravan should suit more than a checklist.
It should suit the way you travel, the people you travel with and the places you want to reach.
Harvok Stay & Try gives you the time and space to experience a Harvok for yourself. Test the layout. Use the integrated 48V electric system. Experience the comfort. Tow it on real roads or have it delivered and set up for a relaxing stay.
Then, if you decide to make Harvok part of your future travels, you can move forward with firsthand experience rather than guesswork.
If you subsequently place an eligible Harvok order, your hire cost may be reimbursed under the current Stay & Try terms—making the experience an even more valuable step in your buying journey.
Whether you’re chasing Australia’s toughest tracks or exploring the coastline, there’s a 2027 Harvok built for your journey.
Try a Harvok before you buy
Experience the layout, comfort, towing and 48V electric system in real conditions before deciding which Harvok is right for you.
