The van weighs 2640kg Tare and has an ATM of 3300kg , giving it a decent payload capacity of 660kg . The unladen ball weight is 180kg . These figures seem quite reasonable .
It rides on 3.3-tonne-rated semioffroad ARV suspension with single shocks and 15in alloy wheels with mud terrain rubber . It has a 6in extended A-frame and 6in main chassis members . Underneath are two 95L fresh water tanks forward of the axle set , with a grey water tank mounted towards the rear . While the location of the fresh water tanks will contribute somewhat to the ball weight , it ’ s fair to say that this van is designed to be towed by vehicles capable of 350kg on the ball .
A checkerplate storage box is mounted to the A-frame , behind two 9kg gas cylinders , and I liked that a slide-out tray suitable for a small generator had been fitted to the offside .
The two 100Ah deep-cycle batteries are kept up to charge by dual 150W solar panels on the roof , and let ’ s not forget the BMPRO Genius battery management system that ’ s included as part of the package .
At the rear , you ’ ll find a bike rack and Safety Dave reversing camera , all wired up and ready to go . An oversized tunnel boot at the front has been included too – storage space is something this van does very well .
WOW FACTOR
If the exterior was attractive , the interior has wow factor in spades . I loved the colours and decor . While the layout is conventional , it offers a good blend of form and function .
