Latitude Motorhomes builds three new models on the Iveco Daily 70C chassis at its Burleigh Heads factory, and ranking the range by price puts pre-owned stock at the entry point and the ibeX 4x4 at the top for 2026.
- Pre-owned Latitude Motorhomes units sit at the lowest price tier for 2026; the ibeX 4x4 sits at the top.
- Motorhomes ranked by price move from pre-owned stock, to Element 27, to Meridian 30, to ibeX 4x4.
- All four options share the Iveco Daily 70C chassis; price climbs with size, layout and off-road spec.
- Element 27 suits couples and first-time buyers; Meridian 30 suits full-time living; ibeX 4x4 suits outback touring.
Why this matters
Price tiers only make sense once you match them to how you'll actually use the motorhome. Buying an ibeX 4x4 for bitumen-only weekend trips means paying for off-road capability you'll never test. Buying an Element 27 for full-time living means running out of storage and living space within a few months on the road.
Latitude Motorhomes builds all three new models on the same Iveco Daily 70C base at Burleigh Heads, so the price gap across the range in 2026 comes from floorplan size, fit-out and drivetrain spec, not the chassis underneath. Pre-owned stock adds a fourth tier below the new builds for buyers prioritising entry price over spec choice.
What makes the best motorhome for your budget
- Chassis and drivetrain — every model rides on the Iveco Daily 70C, so price differences track spec and size, not the base vehicle.
- Floorplan and living space — matched to weekend touring, extended trips or full-time living.
- Off-road capability — ground clearance, suspension and tyre spec for outback tracks versus sealed-road-only touring.
- Build quality and customisation — factory build at Burleigh Heads versus pre-owned stock built to a previous owner's spec.
- New vs pre-owned availability — stock condition and how much choice you get over inclusions.
- Resale and inspection access — whether you can see the build in person before committing.
Motorhomes ranked by price at a glance
| Model | Best for | Standout feature | Price tier | Key limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-owned Latitude Motorhomes | Lowest entry price | Existing build already road-ready | Entry tier | Limited stock and fixed spec |
| Element 27 | Couples and first-time buyers | Compact footprint on Iveco Daily 70C | Entry-to-mid tier | Less living space than Meridian 30 |
| Meridian 30 | Full-time living and families | Larger floorplan for extended stays | Mid-to-upper tier | Bigger footprint, harder to park short-term |

1. Pre-owned Latitude Motorhomes: best price tier for entering ownership
Pre-owned units are previously sold Element 27, Meridian 30 or ibeX 4x4 builds returning to the market through Latitude Motorhomes. They carry whatever factory spec the original owner chose, and they're typically road-ready without a build wait.
Pre-owned Latitude Motorhomes pros:
- Lowest price entry point in the range for 2026
- Already fitted with factory options a previous owner selected
- No build lead time — the unit is ready to inspect and drive
Pre-owned Latitude Motorhomes cons:
- Stock changes constantly, so layout choice is limited to what's currently available
- No ability to select fresh colour or option spec
- Condition varies unit to unit and needs inspection
Pre-owned Latitude Motorhomes pricing: pricing varies by unit and spec — current stock is worth checking directly with the factory.
Best for: buyers who want the lowest price tier and don't need a custom build. Verdict: Buy if the available unit matches your layout needs; Wait if you need a specific floorplan not currently in stock.
2. Element 27: best motorhome for compact touring on a first build
The Element 27 is Latitude Motorhomes' compact new-build model, built on the Iveco Daily 70C at Burleigh Heads with a footprint sized for weekend and extended touring rather than full-time living. It sits at the entry point of the new-build range for 2026.
Element 27 pros:
- Entry point of Latitude Motorhomes' new-build range
- Easier to drive and park than the larger Meridian 30
- Full factory build at Burleigh Heads, not a stripped-down spec
Element 27 cons:
- Less living space than Meridian 30 for extended stays
- Not built for off-road tracks the way the ibeX 4x4 is
Element 27 pricing: new-build pricing sits below Meridian 30 and ibeX 4x4 — confirm current figures with the factory.
Best for: couples or first-time motorhome buyers who want a new build without the largest floorplan. Verdict: Buy.
3. Meridian 30: best motorhome for full-time living
The Meridian 30 steps up in size from the Element 27, built on the same Iveco Daily 70C chassis with a floorplan aimed at extended stays and full-time living rather than short trips. It sits mid-range in the 2026 price ranking, above Element 27 and below ibeX 4x4.
Meridian 30 pros:
- Larger floorplan built for extended stays and full-time living
- Same Iveco Daily 70C base and Burleigh Heads build quality as Element 27
- More storage and living space than the entry-level model
Meridian 30 cons:
- Bigger footprint makes short trips and tight parking harder than Element 27
- Not specced for off-road tracks
Meridian 30 pricing: sits above Element 27 and below ibeX 4x4 — get a current quote from Latitude Motorhomes for exact figures.
Best for: families or full-time travellers who need more living space than Element 27 offers. Verdict: Buy.
4. ibeX 4x4: best motorhome for outback and off-road touring
The ibeX 4x4 tops Latitude Motorhomes' range for 2026, pairing the Iveco Daily 70C base with a 4x4 drivetrain and off-road-ready spec built for unsealed outback roads rather than caravan-park loops. It's the highest price tier in the lineup.
ibeX 4x4 pros:
- 4x4 drivetrain and off-road-ready spec for genuine outback touring
- Top of Latitude Motorhomes' capability range
- Still built on the same Iveco Daily 70C base as Element 27 and Meridian 30
ibeX 4x4 cons:
- Sits at the top price tier of the range
- 4x4 spec is unnecessary weight and cost if you only travel sealed roads
ibeX 4x4 pricing: highest price tier in the range for 2026 — confirm current spec pricing directly with the factory. See more 4x4-specific options if outback capability is the priority.
Best for: buyers touring unsealed outback roads who need real off-road capability. Verdict: Buy.
“The chassis stays the same across the range - Iveco Daily 70C - price moves with size, floorplan and off-road spec, not the base vehicle.”
How we ranked these
The order above tracks price tier against the criteria listed earlier: chassis commonality (constant across all four options), floorplan size, off-road spec, and new-build versus pre-owned status. Pre-owned stock ranks lowest because it removes the customisation premium of a fresh build, not because the underlying unit is lesser.
Which motorhome should you choose?
For most first-time buyers wanting a new build in 2026, Element 27 is the default pick — it's the entry point of Latitude Motorhomes' new-build range and easier to live with day-to-day than the larger models. Step up to Meridian 30 if full-time living or family space is the priority, and go straight to ibeX 4x4 if outback and off-road touring is the actual use case, not an occasional detour. If price is the only constraint, check current pre-owned stock before committing to a new build.

FAQ
What's the cheapest Latitude Motorhomes option in 2026?
Pre-owned Latitude Motorhomes units sit at the lowest price tier in 2026, ahead of any new build. Stock and layout choice are limited to whatever is currently available.
Is the Element 27 cheaper than the Meridian 30?
Yes, Element 27 sits at the entry-to-mid price tier of the new-build range while Meridian 30 sits mid-to-upper. The gap reflects floorplan size, not chassis differences.
How much does an ibeX 4x4 cost in 2026?
The ibeX 4x4 sits at the top price tier of Latitude Motorhomes' range for 2026. Exact figures depend on spec, so confirm current pricing directly with the factory.
Are all Latitude Motorhomes built on the same chassis?
Yes, Element 27, Meridian 30 and ibeX 4x4 are all built on the Iveco Daily 70C. Price differences across the range come from size, fit-out and drivetrain spec, not the base vehicle.
Is the Meridian 30 good for full-time living?
Yes, Meridian 30 has the largest floorplan in the new-build range and is built for extended stays. It's a bigger footprint than Element 27, which makes short trips and tight parking harder.
Does Latitude Motorhomes sell pre-owned units?
Yes, pre-owned Element 27, Meridian 30 and ibeX 4x4 units return to market periodically and sit at the lowest price tier of 2026. Stock changes, so layout choice is limited to what's on hand.
Which Latitude Motorhomes model is best for outback touring?
The ibeX 4x4 is built for outback and off-road touring with a 4x4 drivetrain and off-road-ready spec. It's the top price tier for a reason — it's the only model in the range built for unsealed tracks.
Can you visit the factory before buying?
Latitude Motorhomes builds all three new models at its Burleigh Heads factory on the Gold Coast, and a factory visit lets you compare Element 27, Meridian 30 and ibeX 4x4 side by side before deciding.
One last thing
The biggest number in this ranking isn't a price — it's the fact that every tier, from pre-owned stock to the ibeX 4x4, shares one chassis. That means the price you're actually paying across the 2026 range buys floorplan, fit-out and drivetrain spec, not a different base vehicle. Walk into Burleigh Heads knowing that and the decision comes down to how you'll use the motorhome, not which one "feels" more expensive.
