Thanks guys this has helped me with my confusion . I'm about to sell my small property, as I'm not well enouf to look after it any more, and live on the road. I'm 57 semi disabled and single and want to see the red centre and live the dream wile i still can ,good luck with your choice matey's.

Loved the van but found very little attention was paid to position of light/power fittings. The table should have a power point for computer use. day/night blinds are much more attractive and useful than curtains. An outdoor BBQ and shower are more important than the dishwasher. For the money and size I would like to see stabilisers on this van. As a 55year old woman I drove a Winnebago Alpine 24foot for 60,000 kms...not a single problem but sometimes the size made parking in cities, other than caravan parks, quite difficult. Think I will buy the Conquest...nice fittings and easier to sell. Great video, thanks.

Maybe hire one for a short trip with your dogs to get a feel of what you will need.

I retire soon and will be buying the Avida Longreach, 400K but it has everything! A home away from home. We are selling up and hitting the road, tired of the bullshit that comes with living in large centres where people congregate and end up with lockdowns and control, after control. I don't want to be stuck in a house where my electricity is controlled by someone else and my "carbon" footprint measured by how many kw I use a year. With the Longreach I can live off grid indefinitely.

Get something that has the most space. trust me. Space is what will piss you off in the medium to long term.... I bought a small one and after the second trip wished I had bought something bigger

I just recently purchased a new Mercedes 24.2 for 168k , that last MoHo for 235k? ...mate ,apart from the slide outs i dont see where the value is. I bought mine from Jayco , and I did have a look at the optimum and mercedes and compared the 2, in the end the merc conquest won .It came down to availability of parts , simplicity of use and maintanance, and the Habitat layout. Price was not a consideration, If I had my LR or HR liscence ,which I hope to get, Id have bought a mercedes Adventure truck . I spose each to their own, but ask yourself, how long will i have it,how often will i use it, where can i store it out of the elements when im not using it , income and savings, and price .If it ticks all your boxes then buy and enjoy.thats all i got.

Why not just ask the dude who’s selling the van those questions

If possible can you do a review of the trakka Jabiru ,it is a bit expensive but would be nice to see a independent review.

You should have gone for the Sprinter, they are worth much more now, if you can get one.

What did you end up buying?

If you want to see the best and classy motorhome look at latitude that is a motorhome….that test bench all the others……!

I have a Renault master van, converted to camper in nz, called a kea odyssey. They are indeed very easy to drive, and economical.

Don’t buy anything too big. We bought one which was too big. If you are going to live in it fine but for weekends and couple of weeks away buy one you can park anywhere way more fun 🤩

that last jayco has a below generator to run the appliances

12:02 ima be holding my stomach right here…

Better off with the RM-20

If you haven’t bought your new toy yet, check out Roberts Avida and get another view on a different brand. Don’t look at the shiny surfaces, I found what makes a MH are things you can’t see. What type of tripping are you going to do. If it’s free camping what type / qty of solar etc, how much water, size of gas bottles. Manufactures build to a price and they save money on the things you can’t see . Eventually the right MH will jump out at you.

Just be careful buying a front wheel drive van because all your weight is on the back and you can get stuck in ditches have a look at the Mercedes At least they are rear wheel drive

lol, not small dog by the way , f*#ch . Evan small ones are hard work.

You won’t go past an Eveco. Merc’s after 2004 are expensive for parts.

Are you are complaining $120,000 for motor yeah today you can buy tent and push bike 😂😂😂

Why do you want to burn 90 grands? This is insane for middle class family. Stay put with whatever you have.

😔😔😔😔😔😔

Would Absolutely NEVER BUY A Renault or Fiat they are engineered extremely bad so avoid them at all costs.

Don't buy a Renault they are crap. 200000kms throw them away

Don't waste your money on a jayco there not called brako for nothing

You were ripped off. $90000 tops

While feeling confused you will drift back to the right one for you.

What did you end up buying?

Your wife likes the doors, can you leave your dogs with friends ?
