RV REVIEW

WATTLE WAY TO GO !

I was up at 6am to leave my place near Noosa to head to Ballina , where I would meet with Paul Spotswood from Horizon Motorhomes . As soon as I pulled up out the front of the showroom , I knew it was going to be a fun day . Sitting out the front was a large AWD motorhome called the Wattle .

Horizon Motorhomes provides various different designs and options to suit most travellers , from solo travellers up to three seaters , from budget campers to top-of-the-line motorhomes . Today , we were to be checking out one of Horizon ’ s more top-end products , the Wattle .

GET UP AND GO

Paul jumped in the driver ’ s seat and I followed behind as we headed through the hills , just north of Ballina towards a location Paul had in mind .

The Wattle is a B Class conversion built on a Mercedes Sprinter LWB AWD , which I could tell had plenty of get-up-and go as I followed him through the hills . It wasn ’ t leaning or handling like a big boat . This AWD Mercedes Sprinter was driving through the windy country roads as easily as my ute .
