5th Wheelers in Australia slowly getting accepted

After some very negative impressions with imported US 5vers by Australians ,casting a shadow over the 5th wheeler concept., locally built 5th Wheelers are tentatively getting a foothold.
Jayco has set aside a section in their factory to build their new 5th Wheelers.Sunliner has released two 5th Wheelers and someone has taken over a 5th Wheeler import Company to release his own"Australian " design.There are several other small manufacturers of 5th Wheelers here
Jayco 28ft 5ver



Sunliner 5th Wheeler
Sizes 25 to 29ft.


Pacific RV


Trulux is another small custom producer, who has customers helping out in the Sales and Reception area!

    Not sure about all the white in the interiors, wouldn't stay that way around here for very long.

    These are mainly bought by couples not families. One general complaint of US 5vers cabins is that they are too dark. That is why the white interiors with easy to clean surfaces.
  • Interesting concept under the pin of the Pacific rv. Not sure about all the white in the interiors, wouldn't stay that way around here for very long.

    Not crazy about the shiny ceilings and the tacked on look of the rear trim ,I do like the large swing out windows.

    Sunliner is primarily a Class C motorhome builder. That is what their Motorhomes also look like.
