RV FEATURE
There are camper trailers. And then there are
camper trailers. You see, the BRS Pursuit
Platinum, the top-end rig in the Pursuit line-up
that’s built in Newcastle, NSW, is one of the most
refined, well-sorted hybrids you are likely to lay
your eyes on.
The Pursuit is almost conceptual in appearance,
without being too outlandish. It embraces the
best of technology while remembering it has a job
to do; that is, to keep its occupants comfortable
and follow the 4WD into inhospitable corners of
the country.
The body is in two parts. The top ‘cone’ comprises
a one-piece composite, hand-laminated
fibreglass outer layer, a high-density foam core,
and a smooth, high-gloss internal skin. The lower
portion of the body, meanwhile, is made of a
marine-grade alloy plate that’s CNC cut and fully
welded.
BRS has revised the camper somewhat since
we first reviewed it, with updates including a
24in smart TV, an extra 40W of solar for a total
of 360W, a re-worked toolbox with removable
stone shields and secured jerry can holders, dual
rear wood boxes, upgraded water storage in
fibreglass tanks, and more.
HITS

• Under-body protection – this
camper has no vulnerable
components
• Overall fit and finish
• The slide-out shower concept
It’s a pricey camper, but here you definitely get
what you pay for. • Internal storage and drawer fridges
WHAT WE SAID MISSES
Often enough, you can tell plenty about a van or
camper by paying attention to the details. Poor
joins, unsightly silicone and dodgy welds usually
tell the story. But the Pursuit Platinum has none
of these.
If a well-rounded, comfortable, clever and well-
built camper is what you’re after, don’t overlook
the BRS Pursuit Platinum.
times
• Fitting the bathroom screen is fiddly.
Could a future version have the
screen as a permanent attachment?
