Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you will know of MDC and their caravans and campers. A family-owned business established in 2005, MDC now boast multiple showrooms in most states. They’ve sold over 25,000 hard and soft floor campers, hybrids and full caravans across the country.
Launched at Melbourne Leisurefest on October 6, 2022, their new AusRV XL MKII range looks to build on this success with a host of great upgrades. Made up of the AusRV XL13E MKII and the larger family-sized AusRV XL15-4E MKII, MDC has launched this range aiming to be the best-featured hybrid caravans in their class.
Tested over the course of the last 12 months or more, MDC has fine-tuned the range to be their best offering yet. Consisting of cutting-edge alloy frame and composite panel construction, strength and durability have been priorities. When coupled with a chassis that’s engineered to a factor of 5 with matching off-road trailing arm suspension, these hybrids are among some of the best built on the market. MDC stand by this with a lifetime structural chassis and drawbar warranty.
