Suncamper Saxby S-2 Review

The Suncamper Saxby S-2 merges the adventure-ready feel of a van conversion with the build quality of a coach-built motorhome. Powered by a Ford Transit 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, it features a rear tailgate door, 1.98m electric drop-down bed, composite fibreglass construction, and 260W solar - all for $206,250 drive away (NSW).


Meet the crossover motorhome redefining adventure travel - a coach-built design with rear tailgate access, Ford Transit power, and all the liveability you'd expect from a purpose-built RV.

Large van conversions are very popular in the motorhome fraternity. However, if you prefer a coach-built camper without the whirr-clunk sliding door, the Suncamper Saxby S-2 is a good crossover.

Now and again, an Australian RV manufacturer produces something a little different to the standard designs. Sadly, not often enough. However, last year Suncamper Motorhomes wheeled its Saxby S-2 off the factory floor.

It’s a coach-built motorhome (living area added to a pre-existing cab and chassis), but designed in the large-van conversion layout. I’ve seen this design from European manufacturers, but not so much here in Australia.
