Cheers,

Testimonial

Independence Motorhome

Chris and I have now spent a month travelling Queensland, visiting our family and thoroughly enjoying everything our wonderful motor home has to offer.

The Oasis range sets a revolutionary benchmark for spaciousness & practicality. With its centrally mounted motorhome door and rear ensuite the Oasis cannot be compared to any other van conversion. It is no longer simply a campervan, it's a ultra mobile motorhome.

On the outside it is a stunning looking motorhome. The stylish exterior is complimented by the inclusion of a fully integrated entry door, double-glazed tinted windows and striking two-tone paint with themed graphics. At the end of the day there is no time consuming chore converting the lounge into a bed. The Oasis makes it a pleasure to retire for the night with the luxury of a permanent double bed, adjustable lights and ideally positioned TV.

 I don't know personally, but my brother in law bought a converted one and thought he had gone over it pretty thoroughly, but when he started to remove some of the fit out found it was badly corroded. 

He did some repairs and got rid of it, he bought a Nissan Civilian ex school bus and did his own conversion.
