Cherie and I recently purchased a motorhome from Open Road Motorhomes at Glendenning NSW, and our experience with the team has been excellent. What we particularly appreciated was that there was absolutely no pushy behaviour or slick sales tactics. It was simply genuine, friendly people running a good business, providing quality service and offering a great range of both new and second-hand motorhomes. Most importantly, they had the perfect motorhome for us at a price we were happy with. A special mention to Eddie, who spent a considerable amount of time with Cherie and me showing us through the different motorhomes they had available, explaining the various options and answering all of our questions. He listened to us, understood what we were looking for and helped us find the motorhome that best suited our needs. Once we found the one we loved, Eddie took the time to walk us through how everything worked and made sure we properly understood the vehicle. We enjoyed his approach and loved the van they had there so much, that we decided to purchase a motorhome and pay our deposit on the spot. Kelly has also been fantastic to deal with throughout the purchase and settlement process. Communication has been professional and friendly, and the whole transaction has felt straightforward and comfortable. Even our request for a test drive was simple and no problem at all. During the process, the team also identified a crack in the upper rear spoiler that we hadn't picked up ourselves and immediately arranged for it to be replaced before handover. That sort of thing gives you confidence that you're dealing with people who actually care about what they're selling. Buying a motorhome is a significant purchase, and it makes a huge difference dealing with people you feel you can trust. They even guided us for insurance for our new van which was helpful and appreciated. Over the many months Cherie and I spent researching and searching for the right motorhome, we visited and dealt with quite a few dealerships through NSW and Queensland. Along the way we encountered plenty of slick salespeople using the old-school pressure tactics, trying to create urgency or pushing us into making a commitment while we were standing there. At times some of it was annoying and, frankly, almost laughable. There was none of that with Eddie or Kelly. They simply listened, answered our questions and did their best to help us find the right motorhome. We were left to make our own decision without pressure, and we really appreciated that approach. We're now very excited to collect our Jayco RM23 - 4 motorhome and start enjoying it. Thanks again to Eddie, Kelly and the entire Open Road Motorhomes team. Based on our experience, we would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a motorhome.

I can’t recommend this Open Road Motorhomes highly enough. After weeks of frustration trying to sell my motorhome through consignment with another dealer in Canberra, dealing with uncertainty, ongoing negotiations and having the agreement ultimately fall through after it had already been accepted, this experience was an absolute breath of fresh air. From my first conversation with Phil, everything was straightforward. He made me a fair offer, explained the process clearly, arranged collection of the motorhome from Canberra, handled all of the paperwork and transferred the funds directly into my account. It was exactly what I had hoped selling a motorhome would be. Having now experienced both consignment and an outright purchase, I honestly wish I’d gone down this path from the beginning. Selling outright removed all the stress, uncertainty and endless back-and-forth, and allowed me to move on knowing everything had been taken care of. If you’re weighing up whether to consign your motorhome or sell it outright, my personal experience is that an outright sale was by far the simpler, more transparent and less stressful option. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Phil and the team at Open Road Motorhomes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful experience with Open Road in Sydney when purchasing our Jayco motorhome. From the beginning, the team was very friendly, helpful and professional. They made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process and were always happy to answer our questions. We had a couple of small issues after purchasing the motorhome, including the antenna and battery/power supply, but Open Road looked after us extremely well. They replaced the battery and fixed the antenna issue without hesitation. We really appreciate their kindness, honesty and excellent customer service. It made a big difference to us, and we would happily recommend Open Road to anyone looking to purchase a motorhome or caravan. Thank you to the whole team at Open Road Sydney for looking after us so well! 🚐❤️

A pleasure to deal with. From my first phone enquiry to driving out with my dream campervan the team at Open Road Motorhomes were fantastic. Without exception, all of them were open, knowledgeable and genuinely caring. If you dream of an escape vehicle, this is the team to talk to. Thankyou Eddie, Kelly and Phil, see you on the road.

I am totally impressed with this company and the staff I dealt with namely Eddie and Kayla. I felt at ease the whole time and everything flowed very smoothly. I flew to Sydney from Toowoomba to make the purchase. Eddie booked Ubers for me from my motel to the dealership. After looking over my (to be motor home) Eddie then booked Ubers to and from my bank to make the transfer of funds. Kayla then took me step by step explaining everything I needed to know about how things worked on my motor home. They had my Avan detailed while I was waiting and they even found a few defects which they fixed. One being a faulty water pump and the other a cracked roof vent and a few other minor things. All were replaced with new parts. I cannot fault the service. I highly recommend!

Open Road Motorhomes was exceptional to deal with, from our first phone call when enquiring about the motorhome to the final handover. A big thanks to Eddie from sales, the ladies in the office Kelly & Kayla that handled all the paperwork and covered the handover. Also want to say a massive thanks to Nathan in the workshop for everything he did!  Nathan you were super helpful and always gave my husband the time to ask any questions.  We couldn't have asked for a better experience in buying our first motorhome.  The service was outstanding and so professional. We would buy through this company again and are so happy that we did not buy through a private sale. They even delivered the vehicle to us in QLD as we could not get down to Sydney to pick it up.  The lady that delivered the vehicle was also fantastic in handing over the vehicle to us.  We are on our first trip in the motorhome at Stanthorpe and are absolutely loving it. Thanks for a great experience Open Road Motorhomes. Regards, Frayne & Deb Bloor. Brisbane
