2020 Avida Birdsville Motorhome - White - 7,683km - Fiat Ducato Power 2.2L Turbodiesel, Automatic, Sleeps 4, Full Self-Contained

2020 Avida Birdsville on Fiat Ducato II Series chassis, 2.2L turbodiesel automatic, 7,683 kilometres, 4 berth, GVM 4,400kg



Description

The Avida Birdsville is one of Australia's most enduring motorhome nameplates, built by Knott Investments under the Avida brand since 1965. This 2020 example on the Fiat Ducato II Series platform represents the sweet spot in the compact motorhome market: a sub-7.5 metre body length that's manageable on a car licence, overcab sleeping for four, full self-contained capability with bathroom and kitchen, and the globally proven Fiat Ducato drivetrain underneath. The Ducato is the motorhome industry standard worldwide, valued for parts availability, widespread service network coverage, and proven durability in touring applications. This particular unit is powered by the Fiat 2.2L MultiJet II turbodiesel in Power specification (engine code F1AGL4112, typically 120kW/160hp), paired with an AMT Comfortmatic automated manual transmission. The second-stage compliance plate confirms build completion in June 2021 under Australian Design Rule approval 48133, with a GVM of 4,400kg and seating for four belted occupants. The exceptional detail here is the odometer: just 7,683 kilometres. That represents less than 1,800 km per year since compliance, indicating limited touring use and extended periods in secure storage. For context, new Avida Birdsville models currently retail from $215,990 drive away, making this low-kilometre 2020 example compelling value for buyers seeking near-new condition without the new-vehicle price tag.



From the exterior, the motorhome presents in very good condition with clean white gel-coat bodywork accented by purple and dark grey diagonal graphics along the sides. The Avida starburst logo is prominently displayed on the overcab section and rear panel, reinforcing the brand's Australian manufacturing heritage. A polished stainless steel bull bar is fitted to the front with two round LED auxiliary driving lights, providing both protection and improved visibility for outback touring. The Fiat Ducato cab features modern projector headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights, black power-folding mirrors with integrated indicators, and a large panoramic windscreen. Roof-mounted equipment includes an air conditioning unit on the overcab section and what appears to be a satellite dish or antenna dome. The habitation body features two tinted acrylic double-glazed windows on each side with integrated blinds and flyscreens, a side-mounted entry door on the passenger/kerbside with flyscreen, and a large rear window for the bathroom. A Dometic-branded roll-out awning is stowed along the passenger side. External storage is comprehensive: multiple under-floor lockers accessed via hinged white fibreglass hatches, a dedicated gas bottle compartment housing two 9kg LPG cylinders with an automatic changeover regulator, fresh water fill point with lockable hatch, city water connection with quarter-turn valve, grey water drain valve with bracket-mounted control lever, and a 240V mains power inlet compartment storing the orange shore power extension lead. A towbar/hitch is fitted to the rear. Minor weathering is visible on some rear body panels, likely UV exposure, but overall the exterior shows careful ownership with no dents, cracks, or structural concerns. The tyres show good tread depth and the alloy-look wheel trims are intact across all positions.



Inside, the Avida Birdsville delivers a well-executed layout maximising the compact 7.39 metre body length. The Fiat cab features two captain's chairs upholstered in light beige/cream woven fabric, both with height adjustment, armrests, and swivel bases allowing them to rotate and face the habitation area when parked. The dashboard houses a Fiat factory Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system with USB input, automatic climate control, and a multi-function leather-trimmed steering wheel with cruise control and audio controls. The instrument cluster combines analogue dials for speed and rpm with a central digital display. The automated manual transmission (AMT/Comfortmatic) provides clutchless gear changes with manual override capability via the centre console selector. The habitation interior is finished throughout in grey wood-plank vinyl flooring with white high-gloss cabinetry, grey upholstered wall panels, and cream overhead lockers. Entry is via a side door with integrated flyscreen and double-tier moulded steps. The dinette area forward of the entry features a pedestal-mounted table with speckled grey laminate surface and a forward-facing upholstered bench seat with two three-point lap/sash seatbelts, confirming this is a designated belted travel position. The dinette converts to an additional sleeping berth by lowering the table to seat level. The galley kitchen runs along one side and includes a Thetford 3-way absorption refrigerator/freezer (approximately 130-150 litre capacity, 12V/240V/gas operation) with wire shelving, door bins, and a separate top-mounted freezer compartment with ice cube tray. A Samsung stainless steel microwave is shelf-mounted above the benchtop. The three-burner gas cooktop sits on the speckled grey laminate benchtop alongside a stainless steel sink. Storage is provided by multiple overhead cupboards with push-catch mechanisms and under-counter cabinets. A Fusion RV-CD850BT marine-grade AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth stereo head unit is flush-mounted in the kitchen splashback with a separate USB charging socket adjacent. The habitation control panel is mounted on the grey upholstered wall and features a touchscreen display (CBE-type system) with eight function buttons controlling 12V system monitoring, water pump, battery status, heating, and lighting circuits, flanked by dual rocker light switches. Four 12V power outlets and an Australian 240V double power point are provided for device charging and appliance operation. LED downlights are recessed throughout the ceiling. Entertainment is provided by a 24-inch flat-screen television on a swivel wall bracket, positioned for viewing from the dinette or rear sleeping area. The rear of the motorhome features a convertible lounge/bed arrangement running east-west across the vehicle width, sleeping two on cushions that form the bed surface when configured. Bedding, scatter cushions, and grey upholstered wall panels create a comfortable sleeping environment. Above the cab, the overcab section provides a permanent double bed accessed via a ladder, with two tinted windows and additional sleeping space for two occupants, bringing total berth capacity to four. The rear bathroom is a wet-room style compartment combining shower, toilet, and vanity. The Thetford cassette toilet (C-series model) features a white moulded bowl with access to the removable waste cassette from an exterior service hatch. The vanity comprises a white vessel-style ceramic basin on a speckled grey laminate countertop with a chrome gooseneck mixer tap and under-counter storage cabinet with satin nickel handles. The shower cubicle is a moulded cream fibreglass enclosure with built-in shelving on two or three tiers, a clear/frosted bi-fold or sliding door, and a yellow-tinted roof vent/skylight with integrated LED light for ventilation and moisture extraction. A large black-framed rear window with an MCO-brand roller blind provides natural light and privacy. Chrome fixtures include a toilet roll holder. The dark wood-effect vinyl flooring is waterproof and easy to clean. A Ready2Fire 1kg ABE dry powder fire extinguisher is recessed into a mount under the rear bed platform with the yellow safety pin in place, and a red/white safety advisory placard detailing ventilation, fire precautions, means of escape, and child safety is affixed adjacent. Under-bed storage compartments with white access panels provide additional stowage. The overall condition of the interior is excellent, with upholstery showing no stains, tears, or bolster wear, cabinetry doors and drawers operating smoothly with no delamination or damage, and all appliances appearing functional. The near-new presentation is consistent with the exceptionally low 7,683 kilometre reading.
