Too my surprise a lot of new models from several manufacturers. Unlike Canada , we produce virtually all of our RV's in Australia. Last count I estimated 23 local manufacturers. Motorhome manufacturers generally are growing in Australia. Four of these have been going for at least 40 yrs. One ceased to exist Paradise Motohomes( around since 2001) when an internal squabble closed it down. They built quality pricey units.
AVIDA and Sunliner were the highlight of the show introducing updated and new models.
AVIDA and Sunliner both build on the Isuzu Light Truck as well as IVECO , Mercedes and Ducato . Saga of "Winnebago" continues with the Official Winnebago franchise,getting the naughty corner, the outside display area. AVIDA what was the fake " Winnebago" getting a prize display area next to Sunliner.

One of the most powerful engines used for a Class C is the IVECO 560hp Diesel used for this Bus 4x4 Extreme Off Road Tonto Motorhome

Basically the same as a Sprinter or a light truck, but have no problems doing 70mph cruising or 110kph. Their ratings are heavier though, IVECO based one goes too 23,000lbGCVWR
Isuzu 27,000lbGCVWR, the Ford Ranger is the lightweight standout , having only 14,000lb GCVWR. It is built for going for reasonably severe Off Road use
More from AVIDA used to be Winnebago. A Sprinter as against a IVECO based Class C
