Swagman Australis Full Description
A Class Comfort and Space
The Australis offers the spaciousness and commanding driving position associated with a traditional A Class motorhome. The panoramic windscreen provides excellent forward visibility, while the cockpit features comfortable leather captain’s chairs and a rear-view camera system. The three captain’s chairs can be swivelled around to become part of the living area when you’re parked, making better use of the generous front lounge.
Expansive Slide-Out Living Area
The large powered slide-out is a major feature of this Australis. Once extended, it opens up the kitchen and lounge area to create a considerably more spacious interior. The lounge provides comfortable seating and can also be configured as additional sleeping accommodation when required. Timber cabinetry throughout gives the interior a classic motorhome feel, while the generous storage makes it practical for longer journeys.
Well-Equipped Kitchen
The kitchen is designed with extended travel in mind, offering plenty of bench space for food preparation along with extensive storage in cupboards, drawers and the slide-out pantry.
Appliances include:
- 4-burner cooktop
- Separate oven and grill
- 240V microwave
- Large 2-door fridge/freezer
Rear Bedroom and Full Ensuite
At the rear of the motorhome is a dedicated sleeping area with a comfortable queen bed and extensive wardrobe and cupboard storage. The full ensuite includes a large shower recess with glass doors, solid-surface vanity with integrated sink, cosmetic mirror and cassette toilet. A timber sliding door allows the bathroom and bedroom area to be separated from the main living space.
Touring and Off-Grid Capability
The Australis has been equipped with a range of systems to support extended travel away from powered sites. The onboard setup includes solar panels, a 1,500W inverter and a 5.0kVA Onan generator, along with large fresh and grey water tanks. An washing machine is also fitted, adding another level of convenience for longer trips.
Exterior Features
Outside, the Australis provides practical storage and touring features, including extensive lockable storage compartments, a colour-coordinated roll-out awning and a slide-out topper awning. An automatic electric entry step and grab handle make access easier, while a rear ladder provides access to the roof area.
Dealer’s Insight
The Swagman Australis is a very different proposition from a modern compact motorhome. At 31′ and with its A Class construction and large slide-out, it is designed around space and comfortable long-term living rather than simply getting you from one destination to another. The combination of a dedicated rear bedroom, full ensuite, generous kitchen, large living area and substantial storage gives this Australis a genuine residential feel. Add the 8.3L Cummins diesel, Allison automatic transmission and comprehensive off-grid equipment, and it makes an interesting option for buyers looking for a substantial touring motorhome with the ability to spend extended periods on the road.
