RV REVIEW
Underneath are twin 95L water tanks and a 95L grey water tank , a requirement for off-grid touring in many parts of Australia these days . The underneath is also pretty well protected .
Upfront on the extended A-frame are twin 9kg gas cylinders , a 9in jockey wheel and a spare tyre , which is in an unusual spot for a spare to be located . There is a generator storage box , jerry can holder and an alloy floor for wet gear as well .
Offroad articulation is handled via a DO35 coupling . Down the back is a three-arm bumper that houses a second spare . All up , this Rugged Extreme offers a solid mechanical package .
Towing this iDeal van up the Hume , it sat well on the back of my Cruiser . Considering that the van looks pretty beefy , the Tare weight of 2760kg is manageable . The van felt well balanced and behaved nicely .
SUMMING UP
This is a lot of van for the price tag . The interior features a standard and popular layout and is ideal for two people who want a bit of space to move , with a high level of spec .
Aside from the ensuite door and the tri-fold table needing securing , which can be sorted easily , there wasn ’ t much to dislike . The Rugged Extreme is well worth checking out as a smart touring package .
