RV REVIEW

STEP INSIDE THE SPINIFEX XSCAPE !

Finding an adventure is about taking the journey as much as it is about arriving at the unexpected destination . With that in mind , I was keen to see if the Spinifex Xscape has all it needs to turn any adventurous journey into a wonderful memory .

ON THE OUTSIDE

Spinifex has gained a reputation of producing sturdy products ; the Xscape is no exception . From the ground up , it certainly has the stuff that a would-be caravanner should expect from a van that will take them to many of the far-flung corners of the continent .

Now , the Spinifex Caravans Xscape is an ‘ entry level ’ caravan . However , there is nothing entry level about it , at least not in terms of spec level or build quality . Rather , when Spinifex says this caravan is entry level , it means in terms of its range . After all Spinifex is known for building high-end caravans that have been extensively fitted out for rough-road and offroad touring .

The aluminium-framed Xscape boasts a 150mm ( 6in ) DuraGal chassis with a 2m ( extended ) drawbar , with a large storage box and dropdown legs . Other features include a mesh stoneguard on the drawbar and Cruisemaster ’ s proven CRS semi offroad independent coil suspension with twin shock absorbers .

Spinifex has saved weight on the van where possible . One of these measures involves the lighter cladding used . Additionally , as Spinifex Caravans sales manager Mark Evans said , the company fitted 16in wheels rather than the 17in wheels fitted by some manufactures of comparable vans in order to save a little weight .
