RV REVIEW
Not all offroad caravans are created equally.
Some are little more than rebadged blacktop
tourers with independent suspension bolted
underneath and a DO35 coupling whacked
on up front. Others, though, are purpose-built
machines. HEADING OFFROAD
The Kick Back Off-Road falls squarely in the latter
category. And to cater for a wide range of wants,
needs and towing capacities, it’s available in a
range of sizes, from 13ft to 22ft 6in. The most
popular in the Kick Back Off-Road stable,
however, is our review van. With its 20ft 6in
external body length, it balances living space
with an ability to traverse bush tracks, though as
with all large caravans, tight corners can prove
challenging. The van has a riveted aluminium frame and
aluminium composite panels. And as we wound
along the tracks, up and down hills and over
various lumps and bumps, it gave no hint of
instability.
The Kick Back Off-Road doesn’t have a rear
cutaway; however, it does offer decent ground
clearance, with a 6in chassis fitted with a 4in raiser.
Control Rider TS independent coil suspension is
fitted, too.
In terms of 12V power, the Kick Back Off-Road
gets dual 120Ah deep-cycle batteries, a 60A
Victron charger, and 320W worth of solar on the
roof, not to mention an MPPT solar regulator.
