A locally owned caravan and trailer business has moved to a new, larger Tamworth premises, capping off a period of rapid growth.
Tow World, run by Troy and Gayle Black, has relocated to 13-17 Lockheed Street and is inviting the community to come through from 9am to 1pm on Saturday, 4 July for a grand opening. The Men’s Shed will be running a BBQ, with food vans, product displays and showcases also on offer.
The Blacks took over Tow World after a long-standing history of the business in the Tamworth region, steering it into what Ms Black describes as an exciting new era. Both passionate caravanners themselves, the couple set about restoring it as a one-stop destination for caravans, trailers and towing solutions, including bringing a new caravan dealership back to Tamworth for the first time in years, giving locals access to new models without travelling long distances.
“We’re incredibly excited about what this means for Tamworth and the wider district,” Ms Black said.
The business is also introducing several new brands to the region. Tow World will become a dealer for La Vista brand vans and DynSTI caravans, and Ms Black said they will be the only DynSTI dealer in New South Wales.
“We will be working with new dealers and manufacturers to bring the best range of vans to Tamworth, with the absolute best service by far for all your needs in one place,” Ms Black said.
“We’ve worked really hard to build something that supports local people and keeps these services available right here in Tamworth.”
The move to Lockheed Street gives the business significantly more room to expand. Along with a larger caravan and trailer display area, Tow World is growing its Kayo dirt bike range, with a whole new selection now in store. The business has also added a new range of hardware and what Ms Black believes is one of the largest All States Trailer Spares stocks in Tamworth. Wild Trak has come on board as a preferred supplier, and White Vision products will also be stocked in store.
Customers can also look forward to a new SmartCap display canopy, which Ms Black is hoping will arrive in time for the grand opening.
“We’re passionate about creating a welcoming and trustworthy experience for every customer. We understand that buying a caravan, trailer or towing product is often a big decision, and we take pride in helping customers feel informed, supported and confident throughout the process,” Ms Black said.
The workshop is also going from strength to strength, with a newly qualified mechanic joining the team to support its growth. The business stocks leading brands including Dometic, Camec, Aussie Traveller and Coast to Coast RV, and serves a wide customer base, from local tradies and farmers to grey nomads and travelling families. The workshop regularly assists travellers passing through the region with emergency repairs, from damaged axles to bearing issues.
Among the new items on display at the grand opening will be the brand-new Kayo S350 Buggy, and an expanded range of trailers in the new yard.
“This new location gives us the space to grow and offer so much more for our customers, whether it’s caravans, trailers, dirt bikes, servicing or secure storage,” Ms Black said.
“So much is happening. It’s very exciting, and the anticipation is definitely building.”
The grand opening is at 13-17 Lockheed Street, Tamworth, on Saturday, 4 July from 9am to 1pm. For more information, visit towworld.com.au or call 6762 1033.
