I believe it was built in South Africa as a prototype (I think all those photo's were taken at their factory), not sure that it ever went into production though ? There were some other pictures of the same unit taken a few years ago outside a convention centre in South Africa, but again, no internal pictures ?
I've never seen any internal pictures, but I'd say it would be a North/South bed set up at the rear, as I think they're a bit too narrow to have an East/West bed. the extra length might be for a small internal dinette arrangement. The usual outside pantry door has been replaced with a second window, so maybe there is some sort of small inside kitchen, but it would be small. The roof pop's up at both ends, instead of hinging from the rear like the single axle versions. You can see it up in one picture, but it has no canvas on it, which supports the prototype theory ?
There is no provision externally for gas bottles, so I guess they are inside the front box (if in fact it is anything other than a bare shell at the time of the photo's) which means it wouldn't be compliant for Aust in that form, but then the Aust 490's have the gas modified anyway ?, or perhaps a diesel cooker ?
The one pictured still has the external shower, which suggests the extra length has not been to accommodate an internal bathroom ? and the removal of the external pantry & table/shelf suggests that all of that must somehow be all internal in that design ?
Ultimately, I believe the photo's are of a prototype mock-up of something that could be, but never was ?
