Fusion Caravans
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and also about to be a first timer in caravaning. I am considering one of these vans and am interested if anyone has seen one on the road? It is the Fusion Predator 2 http://www.motorsm.com/aus/caravans/used/display_lite.asp?aid=3258

G'day Gjenko,
Haven't seen one of those but it looks good and seems to have all you need for freecamping as well.
Welcome to the 4um

Hi GJenko, Welcome to the forum! You're sure to learn heaps here like we have. Sorry, but we haven't seen your mentioned caravan at all during our past year on the road. All the best with your purchase decision. It's important to get it right. Cheers, Bev

Well I have taken the plunge, We have ordered a Fusion Predator 2 and now have too wait 6 mths for delivery but, it should be worth it. We are already planning our first trip to Coober Pedy and then on to the Oodnadatta track to Liegh Creek and home through Mildura. Can't wait it is going to be a long 6 mths. http://www.motorsm.com/aus/caravans/used/display_lite.asp?aid=3258

Fusion Predator
Hi there Gjenko, My husband and I have been looking at an 18ft cutaway Golstream van for quite sometime now, we have a Goldstream full offroad Storm RL. its a fantastic unit but my husband has had shoulder reconstruction and we are putting it in the market and will be upgrading. We have just found out about the Fusion Predator and are both quite impressed with it,but before we make our final choice we will be doing quite a bit more research.It has a lot of value for money, the suspension, double ply walls (apparently 280mm studwall gaps) not the usual 350mm. checkerplate & gal. floor, is the black checker plate anodised or just painted?.the list goes on. the Tare weight is 2090kg the same as the Goldstream so I would presume it would be the same build quality as the Goldstream. They only offer a 12 month warranty, what does Fusion (Paradise) offer? Let me know what you think of the Predator and anyone else out there put your two bobs worth in please? Cheers Beeby

Re: Fusion Caravans
Hi there Gjenko, My husband & I went to geelong to check out the Fusion Predator and after close inspection we have decided to remain with our current Camper van manufacturer " Goldstream" They double skin for offroading and as we have first hand knowledge of their strength for off roading and their ability for the same, we would be silly to move to another unkown brand. the choice of suspension is also what we are after preferably cruisemaster / airbag and the after sales service is fantastic, even though we have made our choice please keep us informed as to how your new van travels and have a great time out there with it........Beeby

Re: Fusion Caravans
First post,
G'day Gjenko, any news on the Predator. Like you we are new into caravinging and very interested in your purchase or are you away enjoying your van? Be very keen to know what your thoughts are. The caravan show is on in early October so I 'll have a look then and some comparisons. Have been looking for some time and noticed there is a fair bit difference in the price between the Predator and some of the other off road vans with similar specs.
