Nice camper. Don’t think most would pay $60k for a 22’ TT, though. Especially with the door on the wrong side.
I don't know what they actually paid for this Vacationer but I'd be surprised if it's as little as $60K AUD. Last Nov I went to a caravan show and really liked this 19' Avan Frances which is strictly an on-road model, show selling price $49,950 AUD.
Keep in mind though that in Australia quoted prices are usually out-the-door, on-the-road, and include everything, and if I understand correctly also the first year's insurance. Converted to US$ Australian caravans are still definitely more expensive than here in N America
but IMO they're also noticeably better quality in just about every respect, whether on-road or off-road. The difference is startling.
I'd love to stay and continue the debate but I'm going camping now in my tin and cardboard US manufactured camper. :W
