Excellent service

The staff were excellent in helping us through the hole deal. There was no pressure to buy, and the camper was delivered on time. I am definitely very satisfied with the camper purchased and will be getting away camping as much as possible
Cheers Kevin for all your help.

Mines fine

published

Been reading alot of negative reviews so i thought i would right a different one. I bought a soft floor MDC about 7 years ago it was a show special so got it for cheaper. About a week or so before its due date i got that dreaded phone call that it wasn't going to be ready in time but they had the next model up one, TBox, all ready to go so they asked if i would like that at no extra cost and it would be ready by the due date. So toke it and in the 7 odd years of having it never had any real issues

Forbes 13+ For the Win!

published

The wife and I were looking for a suitable off road Van for around 8 months. We visited every showroom and every manufacturer around. We had settled on the XT12 to be our home for 18-24 months of Aussie travel. However with the patience and assistance of Nathan at the Townsville Depot, we decided on the Forbes 13+ and are so glad we did. Nathan is super knowledgeable about the products and very objective in his responses, which allowed a to make an informed decision that was best for us. We love the van, and will be spreading the MDC word all over Aus in 2020 and beyond.

Let our Aussie adventures begin!

published

The whole purchase process was easy and simple and we decided on the Cruiser Hi Side would most suit our needs. It is a quality built product offering exceptional bang for dollar. We were amazed how well it tows and it's very good stability off road capabilities. Very easy to set up and comfort is sensational, the whole camper is very practical to use. VERY happy with the whole package and would highly recommend.

So happy with our decision!!

After researching hybrid vans for a couple of years, we couldn’t go past the XT12 DB for our family, it’s everything we hoped for and more!!! Sam at the Newcastle showroom was brilliant from our first initial ‘browse’ to the handover, including the many emails in between!!! Fantastic service!!! We’ve now done 4 trips and just love it! So happy with the van and service from MDC!

We were looking with no expectations. Found our XT15HR that fitted all we were looking for. 13 months and approx 6000km later, our only problem was an empty gas bottle after 6 months.

Love my new Forbes 13

published

We were very excited to get our Forbes13 several weeks earlier than expected. The staff at Newcastle were fantastic and went through everything with us. We took it out to Indian Head Camp Ground in the Crowdy Bay National Park for our first night in our new van. It towed so well over the rough dirt roads and was quick and easy to set up and so comfortable. I think this is going to be the start of many adventures.
Absolutely love it and very happy with our purchase.

The worst after sales support!

published

I purchased a new xt12 off road van, it has been to 2 mechanic shops and spent a further 21 days in the MDC showroom for repairs and is still not right. The communication or lack of is very unprofessional and they will not apologise even after they clearly make promisses they never keep. stay clear of they company as there after sales support is not there!

Great Product. Very Happy

published

The Sales staff were really good, excellent, and nothing was too much trouble. The workshop crew were very helpful and went out of their way to fix a minor problem. Great service. Couldn't ask for anything better. My Forbes 12+ is a great product with quality fittings. There are some minor design issues with the sliding pantry shelves, as there are no stoppers to keep them in place when not on level ground, and can scratch the surface of the outside drop down door. Also a lack of instructions on how to assemble the annexe. A video would be handy.

Awesome Camper

published

The XT12DB suits our family perfectly as we are all able to sleep inside for overnight trips. Longer stays, the batwing is perfect as it provides the shade we need in the hot territory environment. The solar panels allow us off grid for several days. The kitchen area is fabulous and allows me to cook fantastic meals outside wherever we are. 5 stars for the XT12DB

The Forbes 13 plus is heavy to me but for good reasond . It's construction inside and out is definitely heavy duty and the chassis has holes in it so you can wash the mud and dust out, it really well thought out and will definitely last us a very long time

Cant find anywhere online “how do I empty the fresh water tank on our Thetford C402 TOILET” as I need to sterilize as mould etc has stopping flushing, pump works as is buzzing. It is separate from main water tanks?? on our MDC XT17 popup ta

The water tank and filler and site glass is inside the same door your caset is. If your pump is running and not flushing fill your water tank up and put some pink Thetford sanatizer in and you should be in business. It's a fully self contained unit.

I know that the filler is there, as I fillup there, but I need to empty it. It has pink smelly rinse in it which I m sure is mouldy, was left because fuse needed relacing. surely it needs emptying every so often, so can clean properly. As mentioned, It wont flush but buzzing!

Market Direct Campers
Steve Z.Market Direct Campers

I would keep flushing it as normal until empty and rinse the same way

It should be under the seats in most models and under a removable panel under the cushion on the Explorer.
