RV REVIEW
THE ULTIMATE BATTERY SETUP !

In late September , we picked up the high-end Spinifex Nomadix Premier and took it to a spot within the lulling sound and sight of sleepy Pumicestone Passage , whose tide rolls lazily between the Sunshine Coast and Bribie Island , just north of Brisbane .
This particular van had already been purchased by a happy buyer , who was waiting to collect their rig , so a rough-and-tumble trial was not on offer . However , we still poked around the outside to see what would make this impressive off roader worth considering .
REFINED MACHINE
The Nomadix Premier range is available in sizes between about 4m and 8m . The review rig was 20ft ( 6.1m ). It ’ s intended as a genuine offroad , off-grid tourer , with loads of water storage and a serious 48V system .
Wrapped around the fibreglass , aluminium-framed walls is powder-coated aluminium armour – the drawbar-mounted storage box is fabricated of the same material . Underneath , a hotdipped galvanised chassis of BlueScope Australian steel supports the van , which also boasts Cruisemaster independent airbag suspension with disc brakes . The underside of the van is extensively protected as well .
