Just found the site today whilst silver surfing, lots of good information on it -the world's a small place with the internet
I've just sold our motorhome and we're planning to go down to Cape Town next month to sit down with the manufacturer for the build of our next one, Vista, to set the specs we want (and agree a price!)
Our previous two motorhomes have been built on the Iveco Daily chassis cab (a 'battle-proven' SA stalwart in the local motorhome rental market) but this time we're moving to front wheel drive and using the Ducato motorhome chassis - looking forward to enjoying the better spec levels of the purpose-made chassis and the imported Dometic fittings (fridge, aircon, rooflights, doors and windows) - exciting times, photos to follow

Ooooo! Adore SA and have just been reading about an escorted tour in Motorhomes of SA. Would love to have a years visa and really explore SA. So welcome and good luck with your new build.

Welcome to the forum.

Personally I would love an Iveco 4x4 but not really necessary in this country.

Good luck with the new build.

This thread is over 2 years old, so hope lekkerSA has now got his bespoke MH completed by now. Would be interested to see pics, as promised.

Anyway, a belated welcome to the forum from an ex-Pretoria resident (Doringkloof) during the 70s - lovely city and fantastic weather :D2

the sun's still shining here, 31deg today! we arrived here in '76
patience is a virtue, so I'm told----the company went into liquidation earlier this year
they've got my money but at least I got the experience!!
I managed to get the chassis out before the liquidator chained the gates and moved it from Somerset West to just south of Joburg where its now progressing well and hope to collect before the December shut down - pics to follow
