Australian Class C with an unusual twist

[RobertRyan]

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?

That is because we drive on the opposite side of the road to North Americans

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

I would have never guessed! Thanks

Robert, if a RV manufacturer built that motor home here in America, it would be a big hit!

Problem you would have too many saying it was too expensive. Knowing a bit what goes into it, you get what you pay for.

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...

Quite a lot. Ironically the same people were involved with the Swagman Class A. Before tbey stopped production they had full order books.
Now units currently on Display at the Queensland Caravan and Camping Show.
Slideout Mechanism they use is theirs, they have a patent on it.

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
