THE FRONT BOOT LIVING LARGE Avida has redesigned its Ceduna motorhome, with a new layout that incorporates a larger bathroom, larger wardrobes and a more modern- looking interior. The fourth-generation Ceduna rides on an Iveco, with a choice of the 3L turbodiesel 45C with diff lock, or the 50C chassis. “We are very pleased with the result of the new model Ceduna; our in-house design team worked on many changes which were mostly driven from customer feedback and its great to see that all come to life,” Billy Falconer, Avida sales and marketing manager, said. Among the features is the option to fit Avida’s Multi-Terrain pack, which includes items such as an additional fresh water tank, checkerplate with black rear wall mould inserts, an external barbecue fitting, external shower with hot and cold water, a front nudge bar, an LED light bar and solar panels.

Crusader has been manufacturing caravans for almost 20 years. The caravan builder took out the coveted award at the association’s annual Hall of Fame gala evening at Crown Casinso, Melbourne, in early July. “If it wasn’t for the customer, we wouldn’t be in business,” Max Mayo, Crusader’s sales and marketing manager, said. “We try very hard to keep the customer happy and we believe that owners of our caravans would certainly consider Crusader again for their next purchase.” “I never thought in a million years that I would be up here accepting this award; this is for team Crusader,” Crusader Caravans’ managing director Serge Valentino told the crowd. The awards process entails each nominated manufacturer undergoing an audit, and being judged against criteria including after-sales support, commitment to quality and innovation. 60 \
