From a towing perspective, the SR19 FORTE would be an excellent match for the crop of locally available 3500kg-rated tow vehicles. Though the Tare of our van was 2649kg, the ATM was 3500kg, giving it a very healthy payload capacity. And for a little extra towing peace of mind, the van comes with Tuson TSC-1000 sway control( with asymmetric braking).
SUMMING UP
The MDC muster at Gootchie Creek Escape was a fantastic event, attended by happy owners of MDC caravans, not to mention sister brands Gold Class and Aus RV. MDC doesn’ t sit on its laurels. 2026 has seen a lot of new and revised product from this company, not to mention numerous dealer announcements.
The SR29 FORTE S2 packs a decent punch, packed with upgrades that were once options, a solid power system and a quality to the fitout that is hard to fault. Packaged with the asking price, it becomes an option that is hard to overlook. Anyone in the market for a 19ft on-road touring van would do well to check it out.
