Australian Class C with an unusual twist

Company stopped making for a short period over a shareholder dispute. Now new management.
Quality but very pricey product. Can you see what is unusual about this when you watch the video?Paradise Motorhomes twin slide Class C
Very little to do with their slideout system. Think of a similar US Motorhome , what would it be based upon?

    Yes it is impressive, but the twist is harder to spot

    Looked at it a few times haven't found it, can you give a hint or where abouts in the video?

    It is tbe engine. Same small 3 litre Engine you get in a Mitsubishi Fuso.Yes this Fiat truck based engine is tbe same design you will find in a Fuso, only European based engine to be in a Japanese Truck ( Exception the Renault diesel in the Global Nissan Van and Navara Pickup)
    GCVWR for the Paradise Model is 23,000lbs
  • That is really impressive fit and finish. What does it cost there to buy? Has to be really high, as it is nothing but high end...

    The Iveco - true truck chassis - likely available in 4wd, too? Nice attention to detail - guessing it runs heavy - hence the chassis. Hate to ask the $$$! ST

    A Sprinter with attitude. The IVECO Daily is replacing the Sprinter. Seeing the Video you can see why. . The 50c version is 4 x4. IVECO does have a 13litre Class 8 type chassis that is being used as an Off Road Motorhome.
    IVECO Daily variants have replaced Sprinters as Motorhome bases. If you want a Larger Class C Motohome most go for the larger Japanese Truck bases.
    Most popular is the Light Truck by Australian standards Isuzu NQR, that is an equivalent to a F550. That is 19,000lb GVWR and 27,000lb GCVWR
