We've got a Pioneer Argyle for over 2 years now, but not the SE. Generally a good camper and easy to set up, attaching the awning takes a bit more time but worth it if staying in the same spot for a couple or so days.
Problems we've had, some lousy workmanship such as screws holding the bed base hinges pulling out. I fixed that with an extra hinge.
Hole under sink badly misaligned so waste water flows through the under sink storage space but I attached a pipe to it and that's fixed.
Water inlet pipe not sealed allowing water to get into storage space.
I had the occassional awning fitted for roadside stops and was given a "complimentary" brake and wheel bearing
check while it was in the workshop. Subsequently the nearside wheel nearly fell off and the bearing and drum over heated ..... could have fried eggs on it it was so hot!
They renewed the bearings.
12v plugs on outside were cheap and nasty and the caps fell off after a couple of months, changed at my expence for Hella type and problem solved.
Overall though we're happy with it as it goes to some rough country and tows
well which is why we sold our van to get it.
By the way, I don't think ORE has anything to do with them now but a place in Balcatta does or you could go to the factory in Wangara.
Cheers and hope this helps.
Alan.
