RV REVIEW
A slide-out kitchen complete with barbecue , sink and hot and cold water sits in the tunnel boot , and there ’ s yet more storage space in a second tunnel boot just behind .
Among the external fittings are a shower on the offside , a nearside roll-out awning , fold-down picnic table , 12V point , and a tap mounted to the A-frame , protected by a piece of checkerplate . A toolbox fabricated out of checkerplate is also mounted to the A-frame – it even has an offside slide-out tray to suit a 2kVA generator .
The 12V system comprises dual 100Ah deep-cycle batteries , dual 170W solar panels , and a BMPRO Genius 15-35 battery management system .
The chassis and A-frame are built from 6in SupaGal RHS steel and the van gets a Cruisemaster DO35 coupling as standard . The suspension , meanwhile , is the independent trailing arm coil Oz Trekker setup . Rated to 3.5-tonne , this suspension system is the work of Road Runner Chassis , the company that provides Everest Caravans with the chassis for the Kombat Performance .
GORV ’ S VERDICT
I feel like I have only scratched the surface on this impressive caravan . It well and truly holds its own against the offroaders built by some of the more established manufacturers .
