Robert, I enjoy looking at the pic you post of the down under selection. I'd like to see more shots of the interiors. They are sooooo much nicer than in the American made trailers.

When they post on their FB page I will post them. Interiors for Caravans and Motorhomes are a lot better than the US ones
Two photos from a Sunliner Navian Motorhome., very much Australian style

Yes a lot of variety. On the FB page I got these crom everyone was very happy with their set up. US 5vers need electtics, appliances and suspensions chaned for Australian use.

Very much not a problem. Have you noticed that noone mentions pusher Class A's with the engine in the back? A Retired gent is first to an accident.

Kind of an odd looking 5th wheel, a real shortage of windows. I wonder why. And the drop at the rear is kind of...different.

Good question. Could be built for someone who is a travelling tradesmen. Think a lot of airconditioning as this was shot in Darwin

How many US state and federal parks would allow that RV? Impractical! And cab over engine. Loud. That tow vehicle would make lousy transportation around the area.
