Title: Thinking about buying a vista rv what's everyone's thoughts?
Post by: stropp on March 04, 2015, 12:08:51 AM
Been looking for a while and have decided it's too far away to be able to afford an Aussie off-road matrix, so I need something in the meantime to keep me dry and comfy. I have seen two vista rv's for sale in wa and I'm thinking of going to look at them both, they are on caravan and camping sales website, what's the pros and cons on both other than the price and age difference? Look forward to constructive advice.

Mate they appear to be a well constructed camper, great suspension good fit out. The guy that started the company used to work for Track Trailer the makers of the Tvan - "I think". Seen a few on the tracks, even in the Simpson  Desert!!! All the owners liked them. Cheers

We have had our KK for 3 years but for health reasons needed to upgrade to something without zips. Had narrowed it down to Eclipse, Topaz or Exodus. Had never been able to see a Crossover in the flesh. Finally managed to see one and bought it straight away. Very impressed with set up time and their construction. Only down side is that we do not get it until May .

Do it!! We had two hard-floors campers and a Coromal F400. Loved the hard-floors, however the Vista is a class above. Exceptionally well designed and built. Easy to live with. We spent over 200 nights in ours in all kinds of conditions last year, and never tired of it.
Only negative for me has been the Vista Owners Forum, which could be so good, however it is not an egalitarian or democratic sharing of ideas and experiences.  ;D

G'day stropp

There is one for sale in WA for $52,000 and by the pics and the setup it looks a good buy. We had one for three years and loved it. Ours was a 2011 model.

Lifestyle "crossovers" start at $40K, but the Vistas are a great product..

We didn't like the idea of folding up the bed to sit at the table, so if you look at one, make sure it suits your needs..
