Probably made in the same chinese factory as the MDC, seeing they are almost identical, which in turn are almost identical to the Lifestyle AT11.

Don't know how they do it for $34,000....even MDC wouldn't be able to compete with that ??
Yeh makes you wonder. Is the AT11 Chinese also?

If you mean lifestyle AT11s? All lifestyle campers are Australian made.

Yeh certainly feels that they are charging what people will pay rather than what it's worth....

Or.....what some overseas companies may or may not be putting in the camper...like the quality of steel....same for the panels they make the sides out of....etc, etc ??

Same as a chinese car.....why are they so cheap compared to say a Toyota Corolla ??

You can bet your kitchen sink on both... cheap quality wouldn't be rare, and large margins certainly aren't.. there would be so many people that see bling and go "that's for me" without climbing under the trailers etc... or researching on the interwebs.
