RAPTOR’S LAYOUT SUMMING UP
General living space is quite limited inside the
Raptor 13. This doesn’t mean, however, that
it’s uncomfortable or that it doesn’t offer the
essentials. With a base price of $39,990, this van
presents as decent value for money. However,
at least one option – the hot water service – is
an essential that you’d probably have to
factor in. The fridge, too, isn’t included – that’s
another item to work into your costings.
The bed fills the rear of the van, while a large
storage unit fills the offside wall. A shelf with
cabinets fills out the front while a small two-
seater lounge occupies the nearside.
Near the entrance, you’ll find 12V points and
three water level indicators. At floor level, to
the right, was the sound system fitted as part
of the Options Pack.
The general fitout appears quite good; however,
one or two joins could have been tighter, such
as where the front bench meets the wall. That
said, other areas exceeded expectations.
It is, overall, an ‘easy to use’ hybrid camper,
from the relatively quick set-up to the kitchen
that’s always plumbed to water. Even the
awning is electric – just push a button and out
it comes.
Having said that, the Maverick Campers
Raptor 13 is an appealing offroader which for
two people should prove comfortable and
reliable in a variety of conditions.
