*The latest update in the long saga of poor service and warranty repairs is the head of customer service has blamed me as the customer for the warranty service team damaging the caravan while undertaking works!
Bought the Forbes 13+ in July and went on it's first trip. Discovered two significant faults and notified after sales immediately. Paul was very helpful and lodged the warranty claim for me. Initially they wanted me to wait a month to have it attended too but I was not happy with this being brand new. They managed to fit me in 2 weeks la...
Read moreter. I picked the caravan up and went on a second trip and found more factory faults, one of which was not rectified properly last time. I notified Paul and he was very helpful again lodging the claim. Warranty are currently wanting me to wait 2.5 weeks to look at it despite being provided with photos and it being factory faults (one was rectified properly last time) rather than failing items. I called Steve Zammit who will reply to this and deny, but he was arrogant and rude and initially told me one of the faults are just how it is. He was not helpful at all and very unpleasant to deal with. Since purchase I have not been able to use the product as intended and it has been due to poor quality and installation of items, not products failing. Overall the MDC product is good apart from these items being installed incorrectly limiting the use of the product. If they valued customers and their brand they would have been courteous and attended to the faults caused by their mistakes instantly. I have requested to talk to someone other than Steve through multiple avenues but have been refused. I lodged a complaint regarding Steve's conduct and he responded to it denying his actions and said it had been referred on to senior management which I am sceptical of. I would love to talk to someone senior in MDC to provide them the accurate details so this can be avoided in the future and existing/future customers aren't treated the same.

Honest and friendly sales staff (Steve Ballinger) and prompt warranty work (Jarrod Butler)
We wanted to buy a camper trailer so looked at most brands. MDC had stock whereas others had vague delivery promises. Spoke with Steve Ballinger who was a no nonsense straight shooter and he steered us in the right direction with his extensive knowledge of the product.
Later found that the gas bayonet couldn't be reached as it had been located too close to the spare tyre. Advised Steve who got Jarrod Butler to look into it as a warranty job. Jarrod communicated promptly and job done.
My experience with MDC has been nothing but good. That is why I am surprised at some of the negative comments.

We had excellent advice and lots of helpful communication by the MDC sales staff in Brisbane (Tony) during our purchase phase and during the 12 week build/ delivery phase of our Forbes 12+ van. At pickup time Tony took us through all the instructions and information we needed to managed our new van. No question was left unanswered. We’ve owned our Forbes 12+ since January 2021.
It is now 4 months later, almost June. We’ve taken the Forbes out on 3 decent trips. We now feel we’ve checked out every aspect of the van. We did join the MDC Forbes Ow...

Have absolutely loved our EFF.
It’s been great and the MDC quality is sound. When I went around the caravan park over the weekend, you could see, mostly in the canvas quality and weight that MDC was so much better than other brands that were flapping around.
Well done MDC on ISO accreditation. Looking forward to continuing to take you with us on our adventures. Love you defend your product on this site too. Well done.
Cheers
Jason

Had our 2022 MDC Explorer Rear Fold for a while now and been a great item
Went away recently and had close to 200mm of rain in 4 days, not a drop inside.
The unit is easy to set up, tows well and comfortable, Awning system could be better to put up but all campers have similar designs.

We knew what we wanted to upgrade from our MDC soft floor to an MDC forward fold and was amazing to see the product on display so that we could confirm what we needed. Great service from Tracey!! Thank you Micheal for the very informative handover!! We’ve already booked our first mini holiday. Here’s to making lots of happy memories.

Camping gear has unsurprisingly been at the top of a lot of shopping lists this summer. Whether you’re hiking, car camping, or caravanning, you’ll need supplies for your getaway. Here are some highly rated camping products you can buy, and some of the best stores to buy them at.
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.

The Cruizer Slide has taken camping with the grand kids to a new level. Love my Cruizer
Townsville store was easy to find with plenty of parking.
Almost every model of camper and caravan in the MDC range was on display.
Could not be happier with our camper, the great staff at Townsville even charged my batteries and filled my water tank for me.

We recently upgraded our old soft floor camper trailer to a new XT12 Hybrid and are not looking back. We have been away twice now in past couple of months and are extremely happy. Easy to tow and takes next to no time to set up. We would highly recommend the MDC XT12 Hybrid.

So easy. We went online and had a look at all of the camper trailers available and where so happy with the quality and ease of MDC trailers. All of the products on offer, are of a high quality and we couldn’t be happier with our Jackson forward fold.

Saw the caravan at camping show bought it the next day, kept up to date with production, delivered before expected time. Can’t believe how easy it was to set up makes you want to go away more. Staff very experienced knew every part of the van answered all our questions. Only thing I could say was a little bit of a let down we couldn’t get an extension for the annex for the 12ft XT HR but not a major drama. Love it

Questions & Answers
I purchased one of your campers many years ago and now I need to replace the cover as it is showing signs of wear. Could you please tell me what information about my trailer you need to know to get the correct cover. With thanks Kay Little. It was purchased by my son Michael Little many years ago but I doubt you would have any record of this purchase.
You could take it to any canvas shop and get them to make a new one the same. Probably a lot cheaper and a lot quicker.
If it's the vinyl travel cover they are available for $399 through spare parts. 1300494494 option 4

Read morewas advised it's not ready and SHOULD BE mid next week. I have asked multiple times what is outstanding but have not received an answer. It's changed from short staffed to logistics. Service is really poor and I've been spoken to and emailed in an unprofessional manner.
