Offgrid Downunder | Why More Aussies Are Choosing Van Life
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.
In this episode of Off Grid Down Under, we sit down with Candace from MDC’s in-house finance team—someone who’s helped countless Aussies turn their dream of caravan ownership into reality.
But this isn’t about numbers or approvals.
It’s about people.
We dive into the stories behind the decisions—families chasing more time together, individuals stepping into van life, and everyday Australians choosing freedom over the traditional path.
Candace shares what she’s seeing on the front lines:
• The rise of van life and why more people are leaving city living behind
• The surprising mix of people stepping into caravan ownership
• The excitement that comes with buying a caravan (it’s not like buying a car!)
• Real stories that show “this lifestyle is possible for anyone”
Whether you’re dreaming of hitting the road or just curious about the lifestyle, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible.
Welcome to the MDC Family.
