OUTSIDE THE SCOUT
The Kokoda Scout rides on a 6in SupaGal chassis with independent coil suspension and 16in alloy wheels with mud terrain rubber .
Underneath , you ’ ll find two 95L fresh water tanks mounted just forward of the axles , and there ’ s scope to fit a grey water tank to the rear , if you wish .
A storage compartment fabricated of checkerplate sits on the A- frame , behind the 9kg gas cylinders which are protected by a mesh stoneguard . The storage compartment is home to dual slide-out trays – one either side – that suit a portable fridge and a small generator .
The Scout is clad in high-profile carbon fibre-look ribbed aluminium , complete with a high waist of black checkerplate , while composite aluminium is fitted to the front and rear . According to Kokoda , opting for the ribbed aluminium side walls over composite aluminium has given the van a significant weight saving .
The Tare of our review Kokoda Scout was 2260kg which , for everything that ’ s onboard this van , does not seem inordinately heavy . With its 2860kg ATM , it offers a 600kg payload – quite generous , I think .
