AVIDA Esperance best selling Motorhome in Australia

Robert, like I said earlier "You must have driven the wrong U.S. built motorhome.".

Perhaps yourself and other folks from Australia should have tried out something like this Great American Classic ... and then maybe the impressions over there of ultimate coach quality and Ford chassis worthiness would have been different:

BTW, our small Class C built on the optional heavy duty Ford chassis has nothing to do with white-knuckle driving. It drives like a van would from any manufacturer - just a little stiff in the rear due to underloading, which is telling us that we can load it up with no weight concerns - but otherwise feeling rock solid under all conditions we have subjected it to on, and off, pavement. The E350 chassis loaded up close to it's maximum under a small Class B+/C can be a whole different and negative experience from the E450 chassis loaded way under it's maximum under a small Class B+/C ... so the two should not be lumped together when comparing Class B+/C motorhomes in the 21-25 foot range.
