Offgrid Downunder | Why MDC Caravans are Made In China
Welcome to Season 2 of the Offgrid Downunder Podcast — now bigger, bolder, and recorded in our brand-new purpose-built studio.
Hosted by Sam Moorhouse, this season brings a fresh lineup of voices, new stories, and exciting perspectives from across the off-road and camping community.
At MDC Campers & Caravans, we’ve spent over 20 years building off-road caravans for Australian conditions — but there’s one question we hear all the time:
Why do we manufacture overseas?
In this episode of Off Grid Down Under, Sam sits down with Wayne, Steve, and James Field (General Manager – Commercial & Product) to break down exactly how MDC caravans are designed, built, and quality checked — from Australia to our exclusive manufacturing partner in China.
We cover:
• Why MDC chose an exclusive factory partnership
• How our caravans are designed for the Australian outback
• The full quality assurance process (China + Australia)
• What happens when every van arrives back in Australia
• The role of our Australian team, showrooms, and partners
This isn’t about what others say — it’s about showing you how we do things, and why.
Every MDC caravan tells a story — this is ours.
