accessible cabin. Speaking
of opening up the cabin, the
fibreglass roof of the Mk4 has
been redesigned in the Mk5 to
achieve an additional 100mm
of head room in the cabin.
The ‘Quick Cover’ awning is
also new. It’ll open up over
the nearside kitchen in mere
moments, and pack away just
as easily. The kitchen hasn’t
undergone any changes, other
than the addition of some new
LED lighting above and below
– it’s still the ‘Premium’ kitchen
first seen on the Mk4. And it’s
still a class act.
COMMAND AND CONTROL
Track Trailer’s semi-famous
Interior Command Console
has been upgraded as part
of the Mk5 overhaul. In the
Tanami model up to the
top-end Murranji (as seen
here), it now includes a 25A
DC-DC charger with MPPT
solar regulator, a 120W solar
panel on the roof (so the
onboard battery is constantly
charging), as well as a 21A
240V battery charger
and an integrated battery
management system.
There’s still a heap of
storage under the bed
sensibly organised by three
(optional) lockable drawers
made of sheet metal. In
fact, the Mk5 Tvan includes
more than 250 sheet metal
changes over the Mk4.
Each Tvan model, excluding
the base Yulara, has a
‘draw from a creek’ facility
that utilises the camper’s
onboard pump. This allows
you to draw your water from
the onboard tank(s) or from
another source, such as a
running river. Importantly,
this system doesn’t fill the
onboard tank(s); instead, it
directs the water straight
to the shower and kitchen
outlets.
Now, Tvans have always
been light – around 1.1 or 1.2
tonnes for the top model.
As fitted to our review
Murranji, the Mk5 is available
with 1.8-tonne-rated MC2
Asymmetric Link suspension
and an ATM rating to match.
