RV DEALERS AND MANUFACTURERS - APRIL 2015 RV DEALERS AND MANUFACTURERS Our advertisers’ products - in their words EASY DOES IT Coast to Coast is celebrating its 40th year as one of Australia’s largest suppliers of RV accessories. Coast to Coast is an Australian owned company that has grown to become a leader in the supply of local and imported parts and accessories to the Australian and New Zealand RV industry. Founded in 1975, Coast to Coast began life as a small business with only four team members, a single office and a showroom in western Sydney. Its strong reputation within the RV industry (for providing excellent customer service and consistently delivering quality products at affordable prices) led to a steady expansion into what the company is now. General Manager, Tony Canta has been at the helm since 2004, starting out at Coast to Coast as a systems implementation officer. When asked what he thinks the driving force behind Coast to Coast’s success is, he said: “Our team – a positive working environment is not only good for our staff but it is essential in terms of customer retention. It is important to continue to achieve, it’s a simple philosophy that can be applied to life in general.” This year Coast to Coast hit the ground running with the arrival of two ground breaking imports from the US. “Diversifying our product offering is imperative to keeping customers interested, especially if it can give their business a boost,” said Tony. ADCO and Lippert Components, major players in the RV accessory industry in the US, now have exclusive relationships with Coast to Coast. ADCO manufactures RV covers using DuPont Tyvek material. It effectively blocks 99.8 percent of UV rays, quality that attributes to every nine out of 10 RV covers sold in the US being an ADCO. Coast to Coast will stock ADCO covers to suit campers, caravans and pop tops in a range of sizes, all backed by a three-year warranty. Lippert Components Inc. (LCI) is the manufacturer of the Schwintek in-wall slide-out system. “Schwintek will be a key feature of our OEM initiative as we will not only assure on-demand service of supply, but also technical training and assistance to all our customers,” said Tony. “We are thrilled to bring this popular and proven innovation to the Australian and New Zealand market.” For the latest product news, or to find a Coast to Coast stockist near you, visit www.coastrv.com.au MOERDALE MOTORHOME DESIGNED FOR AUSTRALIA’S OUTBACK by an Australian who travelled extensively for many years, observing and listening to other travellers.

This is why we custom build to order. Simplicity, strength, dust proofing, insulation, comfort, interior roominess were top of the list as were easy service, simple replacement and quality materials. Our base model is 7.6m long x 2.3m wide x 2m high (internal measurements), height is flexible to customer needs. Cupboards and fittings have been designed for easy use and we regularly receive comments about how much space we have created. Another feature is the extra wide door that allows all internal fittings to pass through. All plumbing has easy access for service by any handyperson. The very large external boot (men’s shed) allows secure storage for all travelling accessories. The resulting easy access raised bed also gives internal storage for large items and the steps for smaller things. When compared to similar-sized motorhomes, the price of under $200,000 is very competitive. We have chosen a fridge/freezer that is well suited for outback heat and has been tested to work in temperatures above 50°C for long periods. To run this, all LED lighting and extensive 12V outlets is 760W of solar panel plus 420 amps of battery. A 1000W inverter is also standard to run small 240V appliances when in a remote area. To keep it all healthy is a 25 amp smart charger. It has all the expected regular appliances, gas stove/grill/oven, microwave, fully- equipped bathroom, air-conditioner, washing machine and hot water, etc. The 50mm insulation in the walls and 75mm in the roof helps keep a constant temperature. For example, it could be -4°C outside but 12°C inside without the heating in operation. A 300L water tank allows long term off-road living. Creative thinking has led to the external patio floor that is easily deployed, combined with the awning and annex gives an extra 6.5 square metres of comfortable living space. The awning can also be used without deploying the floor. The base vehicle is an Isuzu 500 that has many driver cabin comforts like air ride driver seat (optional for passenger). Driving long distances is an absolute comfort, leaving the driver fresh to enjoy the day’s activities. The vehicle provides extra power for towing, with an optional extra 200L of fuel (giving up to 2000km range). Service costs can be up to $1000 less than some other makes. The high driving position means you can see much more countryside as you travel while the stronger chassis and springs give a comfortable ride and negate the need for jacking when camping. Our road testing has been conducted over 40,000km including many rough desert roads. To this date no repair has been required for any part of the vehicle. Equally important, zero dust has entered. The full manufacturer’s warranty applies. We also build on smaller truck bases and 4X4 trucks for those who want something different and prices will vary according to truck cost and fittings. If you already own a truck – as we did – then we can build it as a slide-on to fit most trucks, this way it can be lifted off and used as mobile housing while still using the truck for work; on and off is a simple quick process – our 10-year-old-grandchild can easily operate the lift jacks to raise the unit. Have your truck and a motorhome at a very competitive price. Fifth wheelers are also part of our range. Learn more at www.moerdale.com or phone 08 87393093.

With a belief that each vehicle is as unique as its owner it has built a company that is dedicated to offering choice. The range includes nine different series with more than 40 layouts. Couple this with an enormous array of interior finish and colour choices, and there is no doubt that Sunliner is serious about delivering on its promise to fulfil its customers RV dreams. A key component of the Sunliner design philosophy is innovation, both with style and construction – it’s not afraid to push boundaries. For example Sunliner was among the first to introduce slide-outs and the drop-down bed systems into the Australian market. They have also trademarked the groundbreaking ThermoTough walls and DuraRoof systems, which create motorhomes that are well insulated, light and strong. The newest model the Sunliner 40 is an outstanding example of a commitment to try something new. With a drop-down bed, rear entry door, slide-out lounge room, full bathroom, art deco inspired interior and state-of-the-art electronics and lighting, the Sunliner 40 has set a new bar in Australian modern motorhome design. From a pop-top camper to a 9.6m long luxury touring motorhome, Sunliner is sure to offer a vehicle to suit the needs of astute recreational vehicle owners. For more information visit www.sunliner.com.au Sunliner RV is one of Australia’s leading RV manufactures. With more than 40 years experience under its belt it has had time to refine and polish its product. With a well-earned reputation for building beautiful vehicles full of innovation and craftsmanship, Sunliner is a name that is trusted by thousands of touring Australians. The difference between a Sunliner and others in the marketplace is in the detail. It is the flush finished furniture, the satisfying soft click of a well-made drawer or door, the smooth fibreglass bumpers and spoilers. It is not one thing but rather the sum of the parts that when combined give you feeling that a Sunliner is a vehicle of quality. – THE WANDERER APRIL 2015 – 88 RV DEALERS AND MANUFACTURERS - APRIL 2015 GO WITH TRADITION AT SPECTRUM RV Tradition fifth wheelers are a leap above the rest. What puts them there is the combination of six-star construction and a new brighter and lighter interior. These beautiful fifth wheelers deliver in terms of strength, technology and comfort. The construction delivers stability on the road and also when you’re set up. Some of the features that deliver a reliable six-star construction include a 12-inch I-Beam, mechanically joined wall studs and sills with reinforced sills bolted, never screwed, to the flooring. Another superior feature, exclusive to Traditions, is the thicker side walls allowing for use of better performing ecofriendly wool batt insulation as well as a foam core moisture barrier to eliminate condensation. Particular care is given to the strength of the framework with aluminium wall and roof trusses positioned at 400mm centres and floor trusses on 350mm centres. Ease of use is a big factor for many fifth-wheeler shoppers, and the Tradition offers electric super-stabilised entry stairs to the six-point automatic levelling system with hydraulic jacks. Inside, the inclusion of central vacuuming makes cleaning a breeze. A 375 litre fresh water tank, a 340 litre grey water tank and a 170 litre black tank all reduce the frequency of having to empty the tanks. The lighter, brighter interior offers what most US-sourced fifth wheelers have neglected. Many Australians prefer a lighter interior and the Tradition now offers a lovely light timber interior in the Sage and Mushroom decor. One of the most exciting areas of the Tradition fifth wheeler is the attention to the bathroom and wardrobe which makes them roomy with the feeling of truly being at home. Tiles or timber floors, double entry bathroom with an enormous shower and a walk-in wardrobe with built-in drawers makes this area more than a place to sleep and store clothes, but offers a master suite with a luxurious feel. Further features include: Memory foam mattress; 6ft 7in bedroom height; pull-out rubbish bin cupboard; large stainless-steel double sink; custom floor to ceiling pantry with pull-out; residential toilet with spray asset, copper water manifold system; premier ducted A/C vents with directional flow design; outside command centre; extra-large perimeter heating ducts, and an exterior fibreglass gel coat, just to name a few. When you invest in a Tradition fifth wheeler from the US you’ll want to know that all of the conversions are done to suit Australian road conditions as well as the legal conversions needed for registration and safety. The Tradition arrives fully converted with 240V wiring throughout, Australian appliances, gas fittings and certificates, as well as heavy-duty Australian-built suspension and king pin. The Tradition is backed with our exclusive five-year warranty on the chassis and suspension. For more information phone Spectrum RV on 1300 789 604 or visit www.spectrumrv.com.au.

In addition, the new off-road models developed by Winjana RV mean getting off-the-beaten-track is even easier now. Winjana RV has two purpose-built off-road models, the Ormiston 630 and the Strzelecki 520. The Ormiston is the larger of the two off-road models – very spacious, with superior fittings and furnishings. The van features modern amenities suitable for a couple whose main priorities are a lighter van with a shorter overall length, as well as safe and easy towing. The furnishings are comfortable and selected for durability; with comfortable mattresses and attractive oak imported from North America. A variety of cupboards and cabinets provides plenty of storage room, while the vinyl floor is ideal for the rougher off-road conditions that the fifth-wheeler is likely to encounter. The Ormiston has two bedroom layout options. The first includes a large queen-size bed; the other option splits the larger bed into two single beds with a night table in the middle. The rest of the vehicle holds a kitchen area (with a stove and fridge), a wraparound dinette area, and an ensuite bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity basin. Illumination is provided by long-lasting, energy efficient LED lights, which work well with the solar panels that provide power to the Ormiston. The Strzelecki 520 is slightly smaller, with the same features, furnishings and fittings as the Ormiston. The main differences are the bathroom is slightly smaller, and the rear dinette area features café-style seating either side of the table. These models are but built to suit off-road conditions with the inclusions of off-road brakes, tyres, suspension and shock absorbers; extra ground clearance; and solar. Both off-road models feature very solid construction. The smaller size vans offer the benefit of getting into tricky camping spots that larger vans wouldn’t be able to, due to the easier manoeuvring and reversing of a fifth wheeler. With a comfortable and practical layout, combined with the driving and safety benefits of a fifth-wheeler van, the Ormiston and Strzelecki both have everything you need for an extended trip to the outback. Custom-built vans are also available, to suit clients’ requirements.

For information contact Truelux on 03 9761 5100 or visit www.truelux.com.au MOTEK AND THE DEALER ADVANTAGE A common question is: Why should I purchase from a dealer? Let’s look at the some of the reasons why you should do this. INVESTMENT PROTECTION Essentially everybody likes to protect the investments they make, and when you think about it your home and car are the two largest ongoing investments most people make. A motorhome combines both facets. Let’s be realistic, there are people out there trying to scam you out of your hard-earned cash, the only true protection you will receive comes from a licensed motor dealer. When you purchase your new or used motorhome from a dealer, your funds are secure, full stop, and you are protected by legislation and governing bodies like the Department of Fair Trading and the relevant motor dealer governing bodies. SCAMMERS AND SCOUNDRELS When you buy privately it is not that hard for the sneaky online scammers and scoundrels to try to gain your trust. Once they have either your money or your details they are gone and you are left wondering why the deal seemed to good to be true and maybe that you should have bought from a dealer. ROADWORTHY AND CONDITION When you purchase a motorhome or a caravan from a dealer it has to be supplied in a roadworthy condition. If it isn’t they have to fix it to make sure it is.
