RV REVIEW
READY TO GO BUSH
Great Escape Caravans has set-up the FX Family Escape Black Edition Deluxe so that it ’ s ready for free-camping , straight out of the factory . It comes standard with all the relevant gear : the aforementioned AGM batteries , two roof-mounted 170W solar panels and a 3kVA generator that ’ s secured to a slide-out tray on the offside of the drawbarmounted storage box .
In the tunnel boot , on the nearside , Great Escape has even included a slide-out kitchen complete with a Weber Q and a stainless steel sink with flip-up lid .
By any measure , this is a highly-specced caravan that well and truly looks the part .
SUMMING UP
Great Escape Caravans set out to create a caravan that would be ready for free-camping without further modifications , while keeping the family comfortable , and I think Great Escape has achieved that goal .
What ’ s more , the FX Family Escape Black Edition Deluxe has good looks to match its refined finish , both inside and out .
Storage space in the tunnel boot , obviously , is reduced by the kitchen ; however , an offside hatch provides access to the rest of the space , which is sufficient for camp chairs and the like .
The drawbar-mounted stoneguard is very close to the the jockey wheel , making it a little awkward to hitch / unhitch .
This caravan rides on a substantial 6in chassis ( including a 3in raiser ) with a charcoal Hammertone finish .
Among the other features that Great Escape Caravans has fitted as standard are a reversing camera , rear jerry can holders , awning lights , a fold-down picnic table and more .
