ApolloRVsales now offers the Adria Campervan, which is a European import. The 2018 model comes with 150 hp, which is definitely needed for its purpose and it has a great layout. It is more affordable then its Aussie competitors, but it only comes with a European 2 year Fiat Warranty and 100k km's ! We almost bought the van, but the short warranty put us off as Ducatos have or have had problems with water in the engine bay.
Ducato Campervans have a strong presence in Australia, but only in the Owner segment. Rental companies seem to shy away from Ducatos and I wonder if that is simply because they cant be serviced on the West Coast and North Coast of Australia. Hence between Perth and Cairns expect to be on your own. Apollo is as far as I know the only Rental company that has imported a Ducato based motor home, the Euro slider to add to its fleet.
The Fiat Ducato has become quite popular in the UK - top fleet van reported here. And here in Australia Jayco, the largest Camper manufacturer has just added the Ducato Campervan to its line up. It has been shown in Melbourne at the Super Show in February for $99k drive away. For lack of online info in AU, here are is a link to the FD19-1 from NZ . Factory in Dandenong. 2018 vehicles with 180 hp, solar and rear view camera. Fiat has a 48k service interval. See also forum discussion here. Useful Links > More |
