Have you seen that Winnebago / Avida have announced that they have "parted ways" with
Sydney RV, certainly to date the biggest motorhome dealers in NSW. Looks like Avida / Winne buyers will have to go to smaller dealers in
Newcastle or the south coast.
This may create difficulties with Winne / Avida warranty claims in future, I can't imagine that
Sydney RV will do warranty work for units sold around oz by other dealers. There's also a question whether other dealers will provide warranty for any units
Sydney RV sell from now on as they sell out their Winne / Avida stocks.
Worth checking out very closely before buying.
Stay safe out there

There is no way I would call Avida
Newcastle a small outfit. Their storage and work sheds go a long way back from the highway.
Regarding Warranty, The person retailing an item is responsible for the warranty service. Other parties can contract to carry out the work, it's a matter of negotiation amongst all three parties (retailer, service agent and you) for warranty work to be carried out by organisations other than the retailer or his agent.

What I said in the post above is;
"Worth checking out very closely before buying".
It appears that
Sydney RV are no longer Avida / Winnebago dealers, although they do have quite large stocks of new vehicles.
The purchaser of a new Avida / Winnebago from them would be
well advised to ensure that full warranty applies, including warranty repair of their unit by remaining Winnebago dealers across Aust.
I make no claims one way or the other. I have no connection with either company, nor do I have any stake in whether they are or are not Avida / Winnebago dealers
All I suggest is that buyers are told of the fact that
Sydney RV are no longer Avida / Winnebago dealers and the buyers are given clear and unambiguous details of their warranty.
Stay safe out there

New Avida stock would have supplied by the manufacturer when
Sydney RV were still agents. If push came to shove do you think the a builder of that statue would cut the new owners adrift.

I presume you mean stature.
I'm about as real as you can get, I have worked in the motor industry and have been involved in warranty matters.
I still say "Worth checking out very closely before buying".
If I was spending that sort of dough I would want full disclosure from the dealer and warranty matters spelled out from the manufacturer rather than just thinking it would all be all right.
Stay safe out there
