For the first time, owners of JB Caravans & Motorhomes, New Age Caravans, Campervans & Motorhomes, and Traveller Caravans are invited to come together for a dedicated JB Group owner gathering.

Held from Thursday 10 September to Sunday 13 September 2026, the first ever JB Group Gathering will take over Thornton Riverbend Holiday Park for four days of community, caravanning, product knowledge, social events and good old-fashioned campsite fun.

With only 90 sites available, this is one for owners to book early.

A New Event For The JB Group Family

The JB Group Gathering is designed for people who already know and love the RV lifestyle.

Whether you travel in a JB, a New Age, or a Traveller, this event is a chance to meet like-minded owners, swap travel stories, learn more about your RV, and enjoy a relaxed few days away in regional Victoria.

It is not just a caravan park weekend. The program includes social events, product sessions, test drives, community activities and plenty of time to enjoy the park and the surrounding High Country region.

What’s Happening Across The Weekend?

The first JB Group Gathering has been built around the things RV owners enjoy most – connection, practical information, great food, a few laughs and something a little different to talk about when you get home.

Planned activities include:

  • Coffee cart
  • Lions Club sausage lunch and drinks
  • Sportsman trivia night at the pub across the road
  • Tennis ball boat races in the river
  • Denza test drives
  • Walkinshaw race merchandise
  • JB factory warranty and product session
  • Daily activities and more

The JB factory warranty and product session is a particularly handy addition for owners. These are the kinds of sessions that can help you better understand your RV, ask questions, and pick up useful information directly from the people behind the brands.

Why Thornton Riverbend Holiday Park Works So Well

Thornton Riverbend Holiday Park is a fitting home for the first gathering. The park sits in Thornton, Victoria, with direct access to the Goulburn River and a relaxed riverside setting that suits a social owner event.

The park offers powered and unpowered sites, as well as cabins, villas and motel-style accommodation. Facilities listed by the park include undercover electric BBQs, a playground, two swimming pools, a toddler pool, clean community bathrooms and laundry, free Wi-Fi in the BBQ area and direct river access.

It is also close to handy local stops, including the general store, pub and Thornton Butcher, with Alexandra and Eildon around a short drive away.

For caravanners, that mix is ideal. You get a proper park base, a riverside setting, local services nearby and easy access to the wider High Country and Lake Eildon region.

A Good Excuse To Explore The Region

While the gathering itself is the main event, Thornton is also well placed for anyone wanting to turn the weekend into a bigger trip.

The Goulburn River setting gives visitors access to fishing, riverside walks and relaxed camp-style days, while nearby Alexandra and Eildon offer extra supplies, cafés, scenery and touring options. G’day Parks also describes the area as a base for water activities, hiking and mountain biking, with Lake Eildon and national parks close by.

That makes the event especially appealing for owners who like the idea of combining a brand community weekend with a proper regional escape.

Who Can Attend?

This event is aimed at JB Group RV owners, including owners of:

  • JB Caravans & Motorhomes
  • New Age Caravans, Campervans & Motorhomes
  • Traveller Caravans

For those who have bought one of these brands, it is a chance to be part of the wider JB Group community and meet other owners travelling in similar setups.

How To Book

Bookings are made directly by phone.
