Hitting the US market recently, MDC USA is bringing their 15-year-old brand from Australia to explore the wilds of America! MDC cut their teeth in the demanding environment of Australian RVing families, and when their products proved capable enough for Aussies, they thought adventuresome Americans would like to rumble around to far-off places with MDC trailers. PJ from Princess Craft tours our first MDC USA trailer, the XT16HR Island, and if you have a keen eye, you might find how it compares favorably to other Australian-designed products that are available in the US market.
