A large checkerplate storage box is mounted to the drawbar , complete with a slide-out tray either side . In the front tunnel boot , Kokoda had fitted an optional Dometic slide-out kitchen and , interestingly , the hot and cold water lines were permanently plumbed up – only the gas needed to be connected . However , the bayonet coupling was mounted directly beneath the boot ’ s downward-folding lid , which made access difficult .
The exterior of the van gets all of the crucial comforts . To the offside main chassis rail , Kokoda has mounted dual 100Ah deep cycle batteries inside protective checkerplate boxes . The van has two roof-mounted 170W solar panels ( with 30A regulator ) as well as a BMPRO Genius 30-35 battery management system .
The van is built atop a 6in chassis and 2in raiser , with a 6in drawbar that runs back to the Al-Ko Cross Country 2.0 suspension system . Underneath , you ’ ll find a couple of 95L water tanks as well as an optional grey water tank at the rear .
The Kokoda Platoon 2 seems to have adequate ground clearance for the type of touring for which it is intended and , visually , the Kokoda Platoon 2 is very appealing .
