Offgrid Downunder | Inside the All-New Forte SR Series 2

Welcome to Season 2 of the Offgrid Downunder Podcast — now bigger, bolder, and recorded in our brand-new purpose-built studio.

Hosted by Sam Moorhouse, this season brings a fresh lineup of voices, new stories, and exciting perspectives from across the off-road and camping community.

In 2024, MDC entered the on-road touring market with the Forte SR range.

Now, with the launch of the all-new Forte SR Series 2, we’re not just updating a lineup—we’re raising the standard for what customers should expect from an on-road caravan.

In this episode of the Off Grid Down Under podcast, we’re joined by:
• James Field – General Manager (Commercial & Product), MDC
• Wayne Chevis – Assistant National Sales Manager, MDC
• Shane Easton – Applications Engineer, Projecta

Together, we break down how the Series 2 range has evolved from the original SR lineup, what customers were asking for, and how that feedback has shaped a completely reworked range.

This isn’t just about features—it’s about what those features actually enable when you’re out on the road.

We cover:
• How customer expectations in the RV industry are changing
• What “more as standard” really means for buyers
• The real-world impact of upgraded power and electrical systems
• New layouts designed for families and couples
• Integrated systems like IntelliGRID Gen3 and what they mean for usability
• How this range improves comfort, capability, and confidence while touring

The Forte SR Series 2 is built around a simple idea—deliver more where it matters, and make it standard.

If you’re looking at getting into caravanning or upgrading your setup, this episode will give you a clear understanding of what’s changed—and why it matters.
