THE SERIOUS
TRAVELLER

Ensuring top-end caravan buyers
get the build and quality they demand

Review by James Field Tried and Tested Traveller Obsession 21’ RRP $92,990 (from Hinterland Caravans)

fitted on each side– a useful safety feature when
trying to change lanes in heavy traffic or on the
highway. As well as the midway indicators there
are also high level brake lights and indicators
