Last year we went to the Caravan show and walked around all the caravans & thoroughly inspected the ones we thought would be suitable.
I would walk inside and John would immediately lie on his stomach and look underneath.
So we were attacking our final decision from two completely different angles you might say. A lot of the vans were very pretty inside but didn't give us the impression that we could do any more than stay on the bitumen and John was not impressed with some of the finishes underneath the vans and structurally as well.
Then we found the Phoenix stand and inspected the two vans on display, John was extremely impressed with the construction of the chassis and the way the interior fittings were built in to add to the strength of the van and I was completely blown away with the design and finish of the interior.
Over the next 6 months we talked to a lot of customers who came into our marine business and who owned caravans. In every instance when John mentioned we might get a Phoenix they would tell him about the wonderful Phoenix vans they had seen and how they were built strong and reliable and every Phoenix Owner were completely happy with their van. So it seems to us that the Phoenix caravan is regarded as the ROLLS ROYC,E, of the caravan world.
We made the big step to contact Phoenix and within a few days, we went to their factory in Caboolture, armed with all their brochures from the caravan show. Clint showed us through the caravans in various stages of construction. On the assembly line and we saw for ourselves the whole process of the construction from chassis to the finishing touches.
The very last Phoenix we saw was 5,8 metre Tanami with a fibreglass body ''this was the One'' we placed an order that afternoon
