Just that they are front wheel drive, and have issues on wet grass or slippery roads, that is the wheels spin quite easily. You can't get winter tread tyres anymore, and if you could that would be the go, you should be able to put on All Terain tires though to give you more grip.

We have watched 4 front wheel drive Ducatos being snigged out of campsites after the recent rain system in FNQ. Personally, I wouldnt look at a front wheel drive MH.

As long as you know the traction . Stay on the black or gravel youll be fine .As with most Euro vehicles . Sometimes there can be a wait for parts !

Tezza, all of the above comments are pretty much correct; Fiat powered/ Jayco cab basically an on-road touring unit. Doesn't like wet grass or gravel (even in caravan parks).
If you want rugged/luxury look at Trakka - but you will need a pretty fat wallet.
