Twice tried to change flat on the rear, Jack supplied with motorhome is useless falls over, nrma roadside assistance man struggled using a bottle jack (I bought) I notified Fiat also Avan, still no answer, also spare lost it 6times, still waiting for a proper solution, it's supposed to be a joy to own but it's the little things that bug you overall the 75,000km travelling has been good, layout 2nd to none, quality control leaves alot to be desired, the Fiat has been a pleasure to drive with a few elements to complain about, I'm 68 and not has fit healthwise, going in for service soon.

We recently purchase an Avan Ovation M5 with the usual extras diesel heater, towbar and bull bar. Although it was an 8 month wait, it was delivered on time. The hand over on delivery was very thorough and practical for us newbies, we walked away well informed and for what we had forgotten it was simply a phone call to the super centre and our questions were answered. After a few weeks and a couple of short trips there's been no unexpected surprises and everything is operating as it should. Love the spacious lounge area where the drop down bed is, and find the Luton peak a storage bonus, as well as one person sleeping there it still leaves plenty of storage room toward the front.

Purchased our new motorhome just 17 months ago. Absolutely love everything about it.
Brilliant design with electronic bed that rises to the ceiling revealing another living area.
All the bells and whistles including leatherette seats, bull bar, towbar, camproom (annex), 2 house batteries, diesel heating, solar panels and much more. Replacement cost $143,000. Sale price $105,000.
Reluctant sale for health reasons. Only 27000k still has Fiat warranty.

Recently sold our 2013 M3 privately and purchased a new M5 as we really like the electric bed design and extra bench space in the kitchen area. Much better use of space. Had a diesel heater, solar and an extra fresh water tank fitted as extras which makes for easier free camping. Outstanding service received from the Pakenham factory as always. We couldn't be happier!

I bought a new Avan M5 Ovation last year with the electric drop down bed. Could not be any happier with it. Have had a couple of teething problems with it...to be expected, but have had excellent service from the suppliers in Pakenham, when there, but also the interstate agents have been really great to. I researched for 3 years and came up with the Avan due to price, layout and the Fiat Ducato is easy to drive and very economical.

Not a bad unit dispite a few little irritations The screens are flimsy and this needs to be addressed would like this to improve in future vans the black and white interior is refreshing and easy to clean. The slide out bed is great hanging space is poor and is not long enough to hang up most clothes the petrol cap on the Ducati is difficult to open and shut Overall though unit is functional and looks nice.

Our 2007 Fiat Ducato Ovation M3 is everything we could hope for in a Motorhome. We bought ours in 2012 with 40,000k on the clock. In the last 3 years we have travelled 60,000 with hardly a hitch - the standard of the finish throughout has been exceptional with only minor issues due to general wear & tear. Avan even attended to a problem with slight floor movement in the kitchen area willingly and without charge. We couldn't recommend them more highly.... and no, we're not on their payroll !!

After having a Avan M 3 for two years which we really enjoyed, we decided to upgrade to M 5 to obtain extra living space. Found layout more suitable for extended stay-put travelling. Very happy with electric elevated bed, which allows sitting area when be raised. Fiat ducato 180 4 cylinder diesel has torque to burn, drives like a car because of the wide rear track . Fuel economy has been around 11 .5 litres per 100 km @ 95 km / hour speed . I have no connection with manufacturer and provide this information without prejudice. All considered we love this motorhome. Oz & Jill

I got a M3 Avan got pulled over for a faded tail light I rang Avan to get a new one to find that they cannot supply one the Motorhome was only 3 years old 2 years ago today I still cannot get one and this Christmas I could be put off the road just because of a tail light thanks Avan if you spend $120000 you should be able to get parts for 10 years Very sad

Our A'van Ovation Motorhome is 7 years old now, Just recently we had a problem with our entrance door, we contacted Avan as we were in Melbourne at the time, and they said if we took it over they would fix it straight away for free. I consider that good service well done Avan.
