Lovely van, I'll be watching Cam and Tiff with great interest. This van ticks all our boxes except maybe no air bag suspension, but I'm sure they will put it to the test. I'm 6'6", so great to see you fit ok. Can I ask what the dimensions of the bunks are and the length of the queen bed. We are in the southwest of WA, so great to see a competitive off road family van here in WA with good solar, battery and water storage. Cheers Shayne

We had a very strict weight limit, so airbags would have pushed it over. Plus, for the extra money, the boss jack legs will do all the levelling you need. I am 203cm or 6'8, so the roof height is good. I know we made the kids' beds bigger, but I don't have the measurements on me. Sorry.

Nice looking van. My main concern is the underslung batteries and what happens to them during deeper creek crossings. Water is not their friend and one good dunking will cost thousands. Tail lights look very vulnerable and are too low. They may rip off during a steep departure angle. I'm assuming the water heating is gas, but what about the heating the van itself ? Is diesel an option for both ? Is that a DRS system in front of the extractor ? Is there an option for full flat floor ?
@CameronCaravans6 ай бұрын
Steeevo, Thanks for your feedback. I will answer each question for you below. 1. The batteries are waterproof and the BMS built in will protect them from a water crossing. We mount the Redarc shunt inside the van. Hope this makes sense. 2. Taillights to bottom of plate are 800mm heigh with the bumper bar arm being the lowest point to protect the lights. No problems so far. 3. Water heater is gas electric. With the large battery system and 100-amp charger you can run the reverse cycle air conditioner for heating and cooling now. 4. Diesel is still an option. 5. Yes, DRS are standard in all our off-road vans and works really well. 6. Yes, we are working on a new flat floor model now. Hope this helps. Regards Michael Cameron
