In western Europe, before introduction of the current version of the Ducato, the Renault Master was the dominant platform for motorhomes, with the Transit a close second and the dominant platform for builds in the U.K.
But the Ducato took over this position quickly, particularly after introducing a special low profile motorhome platform, reducing the amount of work needed to put a house on a cab-chassis platform. Whether or not the Ducato offered advantages to the consumer, Fiat was taking care of the RV builders.
When Renault introduced this updated Master three or four years ago, they announced their intention to try to take back a good share of the motorhome market, starting with French builders. That they've reached as far as Australia is interesting.
The Renault has turned up as a lightweight alternative for Jayco and Sunliner. AVIDA uses the IVECO , Ducato as in photo an Older Mercedes and a Japanese Light Truck chassis
I know in New Zealand they use IVECO Mercedes, Ducato and Isuzu, Mitsubishi Light Trucks
E350's and F450's have been tried as Chassis's but not that satisfactory. The F52 Chassis could suitable as a Class A base, but the V10 would need to run on LPG or preferably a powerful diesel
New Zealand Class C on a light Japanese chassis. Do not exist in Europe, but used here for their payload capacity, handling(not ride) , fuel economy and extreme durability
Ride needs to be worked on to make it reasonable
Image changed to show Isuzu interior
