Eco-Friendly Features of the Avida Esperance: Motorhoming at Its Best

June 14, 20246 min read

The Avida Esperance stands out for its luxury but it also has some great eco-friendly features! Combining low running costs with fantastic comfort make the Avida RV Esperance top of the list for travellers who want to explore in style without spending the kids' inheritance on fuel.

Fuel Efficiency and Solar Panel Wiring Provisions

  • Fuel Efficiency

    Make no mistake, the Avida Esperance is a house on wheels any way you look at it so it is not going to return 5L/100. However, built on the reliable Iveco 50C-18 chassis, the Avida Esperance is powered by a pretty terrific 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine, delivering power while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. The 8-speed automatic transmission is so smooth, it’s easy to forget you are driving a motorhome. The aerodynamic flow of the front end further extends fuel economy, allowing you to travel longer distances before having to visit the service station again. Diesel with AdBlue technology also helps reduce harmful emissions, making your travels more environmentally friendly which is a nice bonus.

  • Solar Panel Wiring Provisions

    A motorhome without solar is a bit of a lost opportunity but how much to add? Luckily, you can add as much as you like with ease (we will actually add it for you, for your convenience) because the Avida Esperance comes factory prepared now with solar panel wiring provisions. These provisions mean no cuts or holes required so you can load up on solar, and power your motorhome's essential appliances and devices, without plugging in or using noisy generators. If you love free camping, this is the way to go for reliable energy on the road.

Water-Saving Fixtures and Efficient Waste Management

  • Water-Saving Fixtures

    The Avida Esperance is designed to extend your time away from caravan parks and hook-ups. Every Esperance now includes a separate tap at the sink with a water filter, ensuring you have access to clean drinking water from your main freshwater tanks; nice! The motorhome also features a shower with a single lever mixer water tap, allowing you to control the water flow and temperature precisely, maximising water control during your travels.

  • Better Waste Management

    Waste management is not usually a selling point on a luxury vehicle however on Motorhomes, attention in this area is crucial. The Avida Esperance excels in this area with extra large waste pipes (40mm in diameter), which allow for better flow of your wastewater to eliminate blockages which are no fun. You are not retiring to a life of luxury and comfort exploring Australia to have to become a plumber and climb around under the vehicle. Our goal is that this large pipe system manages your wastewater effectively with low or no maintenance. By the way, the Esperance's grey water tank has a capacity of 100 litres, while the black water tank holds 19 litres, providing ample capacity for extended stays in free campgrounds while leaving no trace.

LED Lighting and Energy Efficiency

  • LED Lighting - The Revolution Continues

    LEDs used to be a bit meh thanks to the ghoulish green hue they delivered but not anymore! The Avida Esperance uses modern LED mood lighting throughout the interior, providing a beautiful bright and welcoming atmosphere while consuming a fraction of the energy old lighting options would use. LED lights are brighter, more durable, and have a longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements, so hit that light switch and enjoy!

  • Energy Management Made Easy

    In addition to LED lighting, the Esperance is equipped with a comprehensive energy management system. This system includes motorhome batteries in addition to the chassis battery, a battery charger, and an integrated control panel for managing 12V and 240V power systems. What you need is a motorhome that operates efficiently, conserving energy and reducing your need to plug in, and the Esperance certainly delivers. For even greater energy capacity and a significant saving in weight, the Esperance also comes with the option of Lithium batteries. Did you know that a 100ah lithium battery delivers the same usable power as 200ah traditional deep cycle lead acid batteries? And they are so light by comparison - fantastic!

Off-Grid Capabilities

With all of these features, the Avida Esperance lets you explore remote locations for longer without plugging in and without sacrificing your comfort. With its solar panel wiring provisions, efficient water and waste management systems, and robust energy management, you can enjoy extended off-grid stays with ease. The motorhome's independent front suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and high ground clearance ensure that you can navigate surprisingly rough terrains safely and comfortably. This means accessing those out of the way places is no problem at all, and double rubber on your rear wheel drive means lots of traction too, even when it gets a bit mucky.

Durability and Construction

  • Built to Last

    The Avida Esperance is constructed using Avida's famous sandwich panel construction with underfloor protection. This design is unique, strong, highly insulated, lightweight, and ensures durability and resilience in varying climates. Simply, we believe there is no stronger system in the market - that’s peace of mind.

Comfort and Convenience

  • Luxurious Interiors

    The Avida Esperance boasts a range of luxurious interior features that make long-term travel comfortable and convenient. The full kitchen includes a 4-burner cooktop with a grill and oven, a microwave, and a fridge/freezer, allowing you to prepare meals easily, when you like, with the option of batch cooking for those times when you just want to relax. The bathroom features a roof vent, a separate shower, and a vanity basin, offering all the conveniences of a residential bathroom. Seeing is believing.

  • Ample Storage

    Storage is rarely an issue with the Esperance. It offers a large wardrobe, many, many cupboards and drawers, and storage bins with lights. Additionally, the lift-up bed on gas struts reveals even more storage space, ensuring you can bring all the necessities and extras for your journey without cluttering up your interior living space. Bliss!

Exterior Perks

  • Exceptional Outdoor Living

    The Avida Esperance is designed to make outdoor living so enjoyable and convenient, you long time RVers will wonder how you coped before. Features include a roll-out awning with lights to protect you from the sun and rain, an external shower with hot and cold water, and a BBQ fitting ready to plug into - it does not get easier than this. The electric entry step and full-length roof guttering add to overall design quality - this motorhome is the one!

  • Safety Features No Longer Boring

    Driving safely in a vehicle the size of a house is important. Which is why safety in the Avida Esperance is exceptional. It comes equipped with ABS (Anti Lock Braking System), ESP (Electronic Stability Program Control), driver and passenger airbags, and a reverse camera. These features, combined with four-wheel disc brakes and independent front suspension, ensure a safe and reliable journey, no matter the distance. The built-in security door on the home section means you can get fresh air while remaining safe and secure within - and if the wind is blowing the wrong way simply move the Esperance to gain access or reduce the flow of air as you like!
