RV FEATURE cooktop , pillowtop mattress and aluminium cabinetry . There are also two Sirocco fans to help keep you cool .
Again , the details matter . The drawers all conveniently open to their full length , when most drawers leave the rear portion inside the cabinet . This means optimum access to whatever kit you ’ ve stowed .
The roof on each includes an electronic roof raising mechanism , making light work out of setting up camp .
Layout wise , each model varies slightly in terms of available storage and seating . Predictably , the 12ft Vision , known as the VH- 12 model has minimal interior storage and seating , while the 16ft model , or VH-16 , offers ample seating and interior storage , as well as the option of an extra bunk bead instead of the internal kitchen .
Nonetheless , all layout options worked well and were comfortable considering their relative sizes . As for weights , the VH-12 starts with a Tare of just 1.8 tonne , while the the VH-16 comes in at a little over 2.1 tonne Tare . Each model has an ATM of 2800kg , so a payload of somewhere between between 650kg and 1000kg is available , depending on the model .
BUSH BASHING
There ’ s a fine line between enjoying the challenge of 4WDing , navigating with confidence along a tricky offroad track , and your trek turning into a nightmare because your rig just won ’ t tow well . It ’ s the difference between towing a mock-roader – the sort of rig that looks rugged but can ’ t perform – and a true offroader that ’ s set to handle almost all things that the great outdoors will deliver .
We even gave the disc brake system on the VH-16 a solid test on a straight track . We gained ample speed and then applyed the brakes firmly as if in an emergency . The rig pulled up beautifully .
