Avida was Winnebago Australia now making Caravans

[RobertRyan]

After changing their name and seemingly dramatically changing the look of their Motorhomes, the company has branched out into Caravans with these relatively low cost models.
The New Caravans are the Sapphire Range interestingly without slideouts unlike their Motorhomes.
Showing how strong their stucture is

Well, they started making towables for the US market starting last year after purchasing the Sunnybrook RV company. I'd tend to think that they've done something similiar in Austrailia, assuming that they have a manufacturing site there for motor homes. We just purchased a Winnie 2201DS trailer and from our first inspection, it looks like it will be a very nice unit...can't wait to pick it up next week!

No relation whatsoever to the US Winnebago. They had just had a court battle over the use of the Winnebago name with Winnebago Industries US.. They changed their name to AVIDA but can add "The Maker of the Australian Winnebago." Long legal tussle between the two companies.

I didn't know that!! Thanks for the information. So, maybe it would be a good thing if Avida would open a US plant as I like their style!
