RV REVIEW EASY-TOWING EZYTRAIL IN ACTION! � MAXIMISING SPACE A couple of months ago, I was poking my nose around the EzyTrail factory in Kilsyth, Vic, when a sleek caravan with a touch of Euro-flair caught my eye. EzyTrail has long been known as a manufacturer of offroad camper trailers and, of course, hybrids. In a sea of smaller trailers, the larger EzyTrail Winton 18 seemed out of place. This caravan represents EzyTrail’s first foray into caravan manufacturing. With its curved front profile, various mouldings, tall stance and narrower width than typical Australian caravans, the Winton 18 was begging for a closer look. The Winton 18 is, like all EzyTrail rigs, mostly made in China, with aspects such as the electrical work, gas fittings and plumbing completed in Australia. I hasten to add that EzyTrails are made to Australian specifications, and the company has earned a decent reputation. The interior of the Winton 18 stood out to me for two reasons: 1) it features a surprisingly large forward club lounge, and 2) it comes with a king-size bed, made all the more impressive by the fact it’s oriented northsouth in the rear of the van, rather than eastwest as you might expect. / 11
