When you began to find out about the ideal motorhome, you have likely already realised something: there are a lot of options. Campervan, B-Class, C-Class, slide-outs, pop-tops, it can be like learning a new language to be able to compare your options.
Ok, so which is the best motorhome to purchase in Australia?
And the actual answer is: it depends. In this article, however, we will take you through the main points to keep in mind and why most travellers are currently opting closer to European built motorhomes such as Auto-Trail to explore Australia in.
Why is a motorhome the ‘best’?
This is a frequently asked question, and it always boils down to your lifestyle and traveling objectives.
There are individuals who desire small and agile. Some desire the greatest level of luxury and storage. And to most of us, it is all about striking the proper balance between home-style comfort and driving performance.
These are some of the things to consider:
- What is the number of people you are travelling with?
- Do you want to tow anything?
- Will you be powered-up or off-grid?
- How many days will you spend on the road: weeks, months, years?
- How essential is such thing as solar, air con, full bathroom, oven, or storage?
When you have a general idea of what matters to you, it will be far simpler to align those requirements to the appropriate type of motorhome.
Australian-built vs European motorhomes
Australian manufacturers such as Jayco, Avida and Avan have an enormous selection of motorhomes and campervans, designed to meet local conditions. They are simple to maintain, are highly diverse and have been noted to perform well even in coarser roads.
On the other hand, the European motorhomes, such as the Auto-Trail, are geared towards touring comfort. They are extremely strong, exquisitely finished, and they are built to live in rather than to be off-road tough.
In the eyes of most Australian consumers, a European motorhome is a grade higher- especially those who intend to spend numerous hours on the road.
There are several reasons why a lot of buyers are turning to Auto-Trail.
We’ll admit it — we’re biased. Being the sole distributor of Auto-Trail motorhomes in Australia, we have witnessed the satisfaction of the travellers who have first entered one and were impressed with it.
Here is the reason why we believe they are worthy of your attention:
– Luxurious interiors
You will not find old-fashioned cabinets or bulky designs. The Auto-Trail motorhomes are meant to be light, open and modern (soft fawning drawers, quality upholstery, well zoned living areas).
– Effortless driving
They ride on the Ford Transit or Fiat Ducato chassis, and are easy to drive, manoeuvre, and have automatic transmission, so even the longer journeys are even more pleasant.
– Ready for long-term touring
Auto-Trail motorhomes are built to travel long distances whether you are going along the coast or the country. Imagine full kitchens, separate toilets and shower, larger storage areas, solar panels and roomy areas to stretch.
– No hidden extras
Whereas some brands have entry-level models with numerous upgrades listed, Auto-Trail motorhomes have many standard features. You see what you get, no surprises.
– Set up for Australia
All Auto-Trails are all Australian compliant – gas fittings, electrical systems. And we always ensure that our team at EliteRV is up to date with the Australian roads and conditions, and that there is an Australian based support team should you require one.
Which is the best motorhome then?
That part’s up to you. The most suitable motorhome is the one that seems comfortable when you get inside it – the one which you can imagine yourself living in and travelling in, and coming back to at the end of a long day of sightseeing.
However, when you want a higher level of comfort, a smoother drive, and the sort of mindful design that makes life on the road seem effortless, Auto-Trail is certainly worth consideration.
Visit the showroom or call us – we are glad to show you the options (no pressure to purchase).
