Why dont Japanese manufacturers target the motorhome market. We know that they make good reliable vehicles. There has to be a gap in the market for a company that makes reliable vans and gives good customer service like Mazda, Isuzu, Toyota, Misubishi etc.
We buy vans for tens of thousands of pounds that judder and break down and accept the manufacturer telling us that it is normal and acceptable yet we still buy their vans. If there was more competition from the East things would have to change!
I have contacted Isuzu and Swift. The reasons why I chose these two companies.
Isuzu because as a company it is one of their top priorities to offer unequalled customer service. If you check their website Link Removed you will see the personal phone number to contact Nikki King their MD! They also sell a broad range of chassis covering all the weights that would be required to build a range of motorhomes on.
Swift, because it is one of the largest UK manufacturers of motorhomes and sells a wide range of layouts. So surely one can be adapted to fit an Isuzu.
Isuzu MD Nikki King replied to my email within 24 hours and Bob Morris from Isuzu phoned me in person for a chat on the subject.
I am not an expert on Japanese chassis but Bob Morris informed me that Winnebago have used the Isuzu chassis on their RVs but they were badged as GMC.
I am still waiting for Swift to reply
