Hi Stephen, great video you did on the Applause as it has helped us better understand the model... now we have just signed up for one and it seems they won't install a diesel heater. I wonder if you could perhaps give me a few photos of your heater installation both inside and outside? Thanks, David, Melbourne
Sorry David, I have since sold the motorhome. My installation was done by Golf SuperCentre before I purchased it, perhaps they could give you the name of the company that installed the heater. www.golfsupercentre.com.au/
It would stick, until I sprayed silicon lubricant in the tracks, then never an issue again. The factory does not put lubricant on the tracks for some reason.
Hi Stephen, thanks for the video. We’ve just signed up fo a new Avan Applause 500 without actually seeing one and it was great to have a good run through of your van. I notice that your van is a 600, but it certainly does look like the layout of a 500 - all the 600 vans we’ve seen have the two single beds. Did you order yours with a double bed, or do the new 600s now come with the double bed? Thanks again for posting. Cheers, Len
Hi, the 600 is slightly longer, otherwise identical. I did not order mine, it was in a caravan sales yard, a cancelled order at the last minute. I was rather fortunate to buy it instantly.
@@serendigity thank for your reply I live on the North West Coast of Tasmania am very interested in Fiat Ducato motorhome the Avan Applause 500, do know any agents in Tasmania please.
Stephen, great video, thanks for uploading to U-tube. As a lone 70 yr old traveller, I think this will suit me nicely.😀
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for this. I've learnt a lot.
Wow! Love your van. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Love it! I was thinking about the Adria Twin, but on review of this I'm thinking the Avan Applause now. very nicely built with great features.
Very informative video thanks Stephen.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video Stephen, just wondering what the size of the awning is on the applaude 600, Thanks.
Around 3.5 x 4.5 m from memory
The spec should be on Avan website

Very nice. Well done.
How much you paid for it
The screen door was an issue on earlier models - is it still problematic?

@@serendigity Hi Stephen, thanks for the reply. Well done, indeed on the buy 👍
How do you empty the fresh water to clean it out ? Or when you finish using ?
There is a plastic tap below the van to drain the tank. There are products available to sterilise the tank for the next use.
@@serendigity does the grey water and fresh water drain from the same place?
@@laurenkennaugh7360 no, on opposite sides, in front of the rear wheels.
dose it come in a auto.
The van was a Fiat Ducato 9-speed automatic transmission.
