HITCHING UP
We hitched up one of the latest vans in the Coromal range , this 19ft 6in Soul Seeker . Coromals no longer feature full sandwich panel construction . Instead , they are built on a standard RHS chassis with a meranti timber frame , composite aluminium cladding and a one-piece composite fibreglass roof . It ’ s a timehonoured construction method that should last for many years .
Our Soul Seeker hitched up easily enough and towed perfectly well along the Hume Highway , Vic . Underneath , forward of the suspension , you ’ ll find two 95L water tanks , but a grey water tank isn ’ t standard equipment .
You won ’ t find a reversing camera at the back of the Soul Seeker , but you will find an external shower , along with a bumper-mounted spare wheel .
On the offside , the van gets a fulllength roll-out awning , a couple of speakers , a picnic table and an LED light bar . A 12V point is included , too .
Instead of a front boot , the 19ft 6in Soul Seeker is equipped with a tunnel boot , with a gas bayonet mounted nearby to the chassis rail .
With the Soul Seeker not intended for hard core offroad use , it isn ’ t equipped with a stoneguard on the A-frame , where you ’ ll find a couple of jerry can holders and two 9kg gas cylinders . There ’ s plenty of room for the brackets / torsion bars of a weight distribution hitch , should you need one .
