The largest of the Maui fleet, this luxuriously designed motorhome, has state of the art mechanics which make it easy to manoeuvre as a car.
Driving is easy for everyone with the power steering and side view mirrors to make parking simple

We loved the space and style of our travelling home.
The kitchen facilities were well planned with fridge/freezer, microwave and gas cooker and we had the convenience of a bathroom on board with hot and cold pressurised shower and flush toilet.

We packed so much into our holiday, lazing on wonderful out of the way beaches, swimming with dolphins, fishing at lakes, walking through forests and enjoying cultural experiences.
