RV REVIEW EASY AWNING As standard, the Mitchell gets a ‘quick awning’ which, as we discovered, lives up to its name. The rest of the camper goes up pretty quickly, too. Thanks to the pop-top roof, the Mitchell offers plenty of head room. Other features include a handful of 12V points, a 240V outlet, a large under-bed storage compartment, a 120Ah deep- cycle battery in a side storage bin, and removable window flyscreens. A Redarc battery management system is included in the Mitchell package, and each 12V electrical system, from the lights to the fridge, can be isolated at an external control panel. I’d like, however, a main switch to turn off all 12V systems at once in addition to the individual systems. The Mitchell could also do with a sound system, as some of its competitors have. SUMMING UP Easy to tow, reasonably versatile around camp, and refined by the same company responsible for Trakmaster Caravans, that legendary name in Australian offroad touring. That’s the Mitchell hybrid camper. In standard form, it’s good for a few days worth of off-grid camping. Fitting the optional 70L water tank – or carrying a few jerry cans on the roof rack – and a secondary solar panel would extend that to over a week. ENQUIRE NOW gorv.com.au 7
