RV REVIEW
�
Anyone with even a passing interest in caravanning would have heard of Windsor . There aren ’ t many brands with as much history . Nowadays , it is owned by Apollo – the company behind Coromal and Winnebago , among others – and last year , it launched a Windsor range of motorhomes .
It includes a suite of B and C class rigs based on a couple of different vehicles – both the Fiat Ducato and Renault Master have been pressed into service .
But our review campervan was the Windsor Otway , a B class conversion based on the Fiat Ducato Maxi , a long wheelbase van with a nine-speed automatic gearbox and 2.3L turbo-diesel engine .
INSIDE THE OTWAY
The Windsor Otway offers a pleasant driving experience . The Fiat offers a high riding position and the squeaks and rattles from the living quarters , which all motorhomes have , aren ’ t too intrusive , especially on smooth bitumen .
With a rig such as this , it ’ s important to understand its limitations and appreciate what it offers despite them . The Otway is built for self-contained couples who like to travel with a minimum of fuss . While it can ’ t offer the same space as a caravan or cabchassis motorhome , it provides sleeping and living quarters for two people in a fairly clever package .
