This 35ft Chinese Bus based Motorhome, with Cummins and Allison parts is being built in New Zealand. The Interior is more in line with the Company building it.

I like the 35 footer! Looks very airy with all those windows. Bagman.

I am used to the faked larger-appearing interior shots in MH magazine, but this one looks really nifty. As Bagman says, the windows are really appealing, especially to those who go out in Nature.

The lack of overhead cabinets contributes to its open appearance, but might not pass the Wife Test.

With those colors, all it needs is shag carpeting and it would look like an early Fleetwood Bounder.

I know what you mean , the retouched photos taken with a panorama lens. These shots are taken with a panorama but that is it.
More interior shots.


Happy owner and her motorhome.

That is not a panorama lens it is a super wide angle lens. These lens makes thinks look much bigger than they are. In the image above the lens is adding about 40% in size. If you bought this rig because of this image and then had it shipped here, the second you walked into it you would be real upset.

Interesting, the entry door is on the driver side and appears rather small. Wonder if that's the European version.


look at the picture a bit closer and you can see that it is not on the drivers side

this thing translates to $322,000 holy, moly

Well, unless my old eyes are deceiving me, which they could, but when I went to this link:http://www.swagman.com.au/

and clicked on the picture of the blue & white coach, and a larger view came up it sure looked as if the entry door with steps was on the driver side to me, oh well, really not all that important.


The web page is Autralian, and shows Australian models. In Australia vehicles driver sits on the right and drives on the left. I am sure when/if they introduce the MH in North America that the floorplan will flip around.

I like the look of them. The interior looks more modern than most North American MH's

That applies to more faked studio shots of US Manufacturers Motorhomes , they look a lot wider than they are as well as looking surreal.
On Used RV sites they are more realistic but the wide angle lens is used excessively.

Please keep politics out of this thread, because if you continue to add little political comments, this thread will be shut down! Thanks in advance, Bagman.
