RV REVIEW

BEYOND ALL EXPECTATIONS

It had been a long time since I ’ d climbed aboard a van by MDC . Too long . And , in all honesty , I didn ’ t know what to expect . The company started over 15 years ago importing campers , but over the years has invested heavily in its Australian operations . The upshot is , each van in the MDC line-up receives over 50 hours of ‘ finishing off ’, including gas and electrical , with a heavy focus on compliance . In fact , it was the first RV importer in Australia to receive RVMAP accreditation .

Interestingly , MDC even employed the former , highly regarded chief technical officer of the Caravan Industry Association of Australia , whose remit was to ensure each van met Australia ’ s compliance standards while offering advice in other areas of construction . Compliance is clearly a priority .

If MDC ’ s brand new XT19HRT , a tandem-axle offroader , is anything to go by , this manufacturer has come a very long way . In short , this 19-footer was much more than anything I expected .
