Types of Australian motor homes for domestic customers

For buyers of mobile homes in Australia, it is becoming increasingly popular to choose a vehicle made by one of the many domestic manufacturers in the country, rather than looking at extremely expensive foreign imports. A few years ago, very few motorhome users were choosing Australian RV options, but now companies like Avida and Maui are being awarded prizes for the excellence of their design and manufacture, and it is certainly worthwhile considering a number of home-grown options when selecting a new RV or caravan.

What to look for
If you want to purchase a type of motorhome made in Australia, then you will need to know more about the current classes on offer. The majority of manufacturers will make a motorhome in either Class A or Class B.  Class A is the highest level of motorhome, often highly designed and built upon a standard truck chassis, they tend to be solidly built and have adaptable spaces. Class B vehicles, on the other hand, are often similar to vans, with a more streamlined profile and front end, and are usually built onto smaller van chassis designs. This means that they are much shorter than the Class A, and will have less space for sleeping and living.

Class C and other options
In addition to these two standard classes of motorhomes, there are also other options. For example, the class C motorhome will be made from standard truck chassis and cab structures, including Mitsubishi and Mazda. They will have a sleeping space built above the cab, and will also contain space for a mini-cooker, bathrooms, and a convertible lounge area which doubles as an additional bed at night.  If you want the smallest and most economical of all the available Motorhomes in Brisbane, then you might consider the campervan. This is often built using the chassis of a VW or a Toyota, with much higher roofs. The Toyota version is often chosen, although the driver's area is completely separate from the van. The campervan is without a separate bedroom, in most cases the lounge seats convert into the main bed, but in some cases, owners will have to take out tables and seat tops in order to locate the bed. If you want something for a short trip, then this is perfect, but for something more long-term, or for repeated trips, then a campervan might not be the best option, and investing in a Class A or C might better suit your needs.
