RV FEATURE
Atlantic Caravans has been in the game since 2010.
In January 2018, this unassuming manufacturer
launched a dedicated offroader, the High Terrain,
which has since become one of the manufacturer’s
top sellers.
Our review van was fitted out with a number of
options, including a diesel heater and an upgraded
Fusion sound system. When we tested this van, it
was a little cheaper at $79,990 but it’s now $83,000
(ex-Melbourne). Nonetheless, we reckon it still
offers decent bang for buck.
It is built on a 6in SupaGal chassis with 3.5-tonne
OzTrekker suspension, a leading-trailing arm coil
system that uses a single shock absorber per
trailing/leading arm. During our time with the van,
which included various terrain types, the OzTrekker
outfit acquitted itself well.
The cabinetry throughout the High Terrain appears
to be carefully constructed. We saw no poor joins
or splinters during our time with it. With its classy
hotel-room-style fitout, the High Terrain comes with
all of the gear you’d expect for its price point. HITS
WHAT WE SAID • Generous payload capacity
The Atlantic High Terrain definitely seems fit for
purpose. Though with its meranti timber frame and
composite aluminium cladding, it doesn’t break
new ground in terms of construction, it does pay
heed to the offroad-caravan essentials: component
protection, adequate fresh water and 12V power
provision, and, dare I say it, creature comforts.
check
• Protection for (almost) all
vulnerable components
• Stability under tow
• Decent value for money
MISSES
times
• I’d like for the grey water tank
outlet to also be protected
• I’d also like drawers for the storage
space under the dinette lounges
