  • More rugged design to suit Australian conditions

  • A large range of spare parts are stocked in Australia.

  • Left hand door with slide on right is more suitable for Australian caravan parks and complies with every State Government’s transport requirements.

  • Electrical appliances are 240 volt not 120 volt running through a transformer.

  • Gas appliance are built to run on Australian LPG which is different from US LPG (which use Automotive LPG)

  • Overall height is substantially lower than most US models improving wind resistance and fuel efficiency.

  • The goose-neck (front raised area of the FIFTH WHEEL) is lower than US models. The Flagstaff 23 is designed specially to suit Australian utes and similar that have lower tray heights than US pick-ups. This allows a taller bedroom and still a low profile unit.

  • The ATM of the Flagstaff, at 2490 kg, is specifically designed to allow it to be towed by many standard Australia utes.
