I just went an had a look at one. VERY interesting.
You have to be a bit careful, as always, as what comes with base price and what are options. It is, much more of a base setup, that you then have to add the bits and customisations you want.
But the beauty of it is, that it seems to have a large amount of potential to do different things. Anybody that is handy, could pick up a base unit, for a god price, and mod it up themselves and have a realy good setup.
And there is SO much storage. There really is heaps.
Awning can run from the top of the 'pop-top' or they are going to do a 'curved' one that runs from the top of the van solid side walls. (base of the pop-top).
Inside, you step up onto the bed using steps that are there, like in a soft floor camper. The top of the bed is in line with the base of the pop-top section. All of the storage, is from the base of the bed to the wheel arches. A large amount of it...that they use for the kitchen on one side, and just a big open area on the other.
The area in front of the bed, where the door is, is available for fridge, or toilet, or shower, or whatever.
It only weighs 1100kg tare, with a ball weight of 100kg.
It has basic electrics as standard (only 12v no 240V at all, 100W solar on the roof, 1x120ah battery etc), 1 spare tyre, no internal heating. The cooktop/sink are basic. Not much pantry area. That you would need to look at how you would mod to get something more substantial.
They are using the same frame, chassis, vehicle components suspension, etc as their AT models which all looks very solid. Nothing hangs below the floor, Even the water tanks are above the floor so they cant get damaged.
As I said, it looks a great concept. Got the options and prices list..haven't done sums yet, but the price point looks pretty interesting as well.
Its making me have a second look.
