Looking at something with similar specs to this
https://www.avanadelaide.com.au/curr...ck/avan-aliner

TECH SPECS:
TARE WEIGHT: 835KG
BALL WEIGHT: 65KG
STOCK NUMBER : AV2011

FEATURES:

EFFORTLESS SPRING ASSISTED SETUP
LOW PROFILE FOR EASY TOWING
2 X 4KG GAS BOTTLES AND REGULATOR
SPORTS WHEELS
REVERSE CYCLE AIR CONDITIONING
1 X LARGE WIND OUT DOMES FRONT
1 X LARGE WIND OUT DOMES REAR
2X READING LIGHTS
MICROWAVE
2 X GAS BURNER COOKTOP
3 WAY FRIDGE
1 X REAR DOUBLE BED
UNDERBED STORAGE
FRONT DINNETTE TURNS INTO ANOTHER BED
SOLAR WIRING
1 SIDE BAGGAGE DOOR
ELECTRIC BRAKES
ELECTRIC HOT WATER SERVICE
BATTERY PACK
63 LITRE WATER STORAGE

Adding solar will increase weight so will take that into consideration.
They are bloody horrible, terrible cramped snd the angled walls reduce headspace, id look for a Jayco Penguin, you get everything the Avan has with square sides, bed in main body and the ability to mount an awning.
