In addition to the front tunnel storage, which in this case came with a slide-out BBQ, there’s a couple of smaller bins along the mid offside and one in the rear wall. Along with the grab handle light, there’s a wall strip light beside the door, but I reckon a light above the BBQ wouldn’t go astray.Ī feature point of this van is the external storage. There’s no external entertainment unit but there are two external speakers for use when sitting out under the awning. Just for something different, it’s nice to see an offroad caravan that isn’t plated with black alloy checkerplate.

The end result is a floor, walls and roof that form a solid structure, albeit one with a somewhat square appearance.Įuro Vision double glazed acrylic windows are fitted all round and the door is an Aussie Traveller item, complete with security screen. Vacuum bonded, the composite structure gives the dual benefits of strength and light weight, and everything is held together by high strength adhesives - not a screw or rivet to be seen. Undoubtedly the centrepiece of the Xplorer’s construction are the high gloss composite walls and roof.
While it’s a convenient storage location, it does make them a bit awkward to get at. In addition to 160L freshwater tank and 100L grey water tank - both protected by alloy checkerplate - the spare wheel and the two deep cycle batteries are mounted underneath the front area of the van. A benefit of the thickness of the floor is the insulation it provides.īeing an offroad caravan, the Xplorer comes fitted with Cruisemaster XT independent suspension fitted with coil springs, dual shock absorbers and trailing arms, and 12in electric brakes are fitted to 16in alloy wheels. The chassis is not built in a total box section style, instead using the 30mm fibreglass floor for some of the strength component. Starting at the base, the Xplorer 5.8 has a 450 grade steel chassis with 150mm x 50mm (6in x 2in) main rails and drawbar finished with a two-pack paint system.
