Their market is low to mid priced range, but you would still expect a product to be reasonable quality, in a sense. Regarding issues, there is the person who has them and then the staff say it’s the customers fault, somewhere in the middle is the truth as they say.

Another thing I find amusing is the way they get the All 4 Adv guys to punish them on their trips and then promote them as tough vans. If you or I did that to them I bet we would be critised for treating the product too rough and void all warranty.

But if it helps sell their products so be it.

Personally would never have one even for free, due to the arrogance of the owner.

The thing I dislike about MDC, AusRv or whatever they become, is their activity in groups, especially on Facebook. If someone posts up an issue that has been on going then they are criticised, made to feel like an idiot etc and that comes from the owner of the business. He has a group of people that will tear any one apart if they complain on social media.

Yes they have a large market share but so has Jayco and you never see the owner of jayco bagging their customers.

There is a dude on a shonky caravan group that questioned the integrity of Lifestyle camper trailers saying they are imported and not Australian made. He stole some photos from the Internet and said his piece. As soon as MDC was mentioned, he blocked those members. I said he was a ball bag and he was full of sh1t. As the owner of my 3rd lifestyle, I can vouch that they are made here, except for one that they admit is imported to remain competitive. I am now blocked too.

They have a pin agressive marketing campaign and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some under the table payments to people to defend them via social media.

Yes he is the admin. He is in bed with MDC.
