On the other hand 5th wheelers beat with a different drum in Australia. Guess what the tow vehicle is? 5th wheeler is a lightweight 10,000lb 30ft rig

Do they plan on switching the floor plan around so that the entry door is on the opposite side? Having the awning and entry door on that side would be a deal breaker for me because of the way camp sites are situated in the US. Would you want to camp in a US style floor plan with the door on the opposite side in one of your camp sites?

These are made in Indiana, just like the vast majority of RV's. Dealers are sparse, you need to call the home office to find the nearest to you. The model shown begins at $130,000.

Exactly. They will look different to the general US 5th wheeler, but will be built in the US

From their website
Australian roads demand better suspension. American 5th Wheelers are not built to handle even our sealed roads over the long term. They will break springs, it is only a matter of time. To combat this, and to provide you with a superior product, we upgrade and strengthen the suspension on all our 5th Wheelers. The chassis is reinforced, the outriggers are doubled in strength to support the walls. We also dismantle the nose and strengthen the pin box area and add steel reinforcing to prevent cracking and breakage. It's what we have built our reputation upon.

Very sleek looking, it would be nice to see a quality unit built might shake up the US RV Industry. Will have to look at their web site to see how they are built. As always thank you for posting, I always enjoy seeing the rigs from there.

Actually this rig is from the US but designed in Australia

Experience without good judgment is worthless; good judgment without experience is still good judgment!

Other than the door being on the wrong side....
I'd love to see more about that style of awning. Looks unique...
