The new range starting from around $148,000 and is on offer in three body styles (a standard or high-profile roofline among the differences). The Avida Espercance can be driven on a standard car licence, or capacity can be upgraded to a GVM of 5200kg if a Light Rigid licence is in your pocket.
It means there's a choice in size, living area and bedding, but all are fully-insulated and sit on a steel frame, as well as being equipped with air-conditioning for cooling and heating, and a ducted furnace heating system.
The list of standard features also includes an external awning, entertainment unit, a generator storage locker with slide, an external shower, BBQ fitting and external storage.
There's also a 100-litre fresh water tank, twin LPG bottles for cooking, refrigeration and water heating when away from mains power, with on-board self-sufficient power as well.
A choice of 13 different interior trims are available in each model, which feature curved furniture and extensive kitchen bench tops.
There's also an upgraded Esperance Premium model, with standard features including a built-in 2.3Kva Onan generator, roof-mounted solar panels, an electric motor for the awning, entry steps and leather trim.
Most of the Esperance models include a walk-around island bed and an extended living area provided by the power-operated slide-out lounge room, where there are also additional seatbelts for passengers wishing to travel in the back.
Also on offer in some models is the space-saving electric roll-down queen size bed, that lowers over the lounge to maximise interior space.
The Esperance sits on an Iveco 50C17 chassis, with a 125kW/400Nm three-litre turbodiesel engine with either a six-speed manual or the automated manual transmission, power windows, power steering, air conditioning, cruise control, a reversing camera and satellite navigation among the features.
The body has a metal frame, insulated floor, walls and roof, as well as underbody protection; the domed roof is designed for swift water runoff and is covered by a rubber membrane.
All Esperance motorhomes are backed by roadside assistance, a two-year/one million km warranty and a five-year structural guarantee.
