RV REVIEW
�
If you ’ ve got a couple of kids and a desire to explore Australia , you ’ ll need a family van . My family and I were in need of a break . A quick getaway to one of my favourite Victorian destinations , Phillip Island , was in order . Coincidentally , I was offered the chance to hitch up the Newlands Luxe 675 bunk van for a review .
The Newlands Luxe range is based on the popular Tourister caravan . It comes with numerous upgrades that add , as the name suggest , extra luxuries to the Tourister , from the CNC-cut cabinetry to the bike racks on the back of the van .
TOWING THE LUXE 675
The first thing I noticed was just how easy this van was to tow behind my MU-X . On the South Gippsland Highway , headed towards Phillip Island , the Newlands Luxe 675 tracked steady and true .
With its body length of 6.83m , the Luxe is a mid to large family caravan . I found it to be nonetheless quite manoeuvrable and easy enough to reverse – a Waeco reversing camera is fitted to the van too , with the in-car display kit supplied to the customer to fit themselves .
