RV REVIEW
The 12V equipment also includes a Trek digital display , which shows things like the battery state of charge and battery levels . You can also have this info sent to an app on your smartphone via the onboard OdysseyLink system .
The angled kitchen on this van is also appealing . It comes complete with a four-burner cooktop , griller and oven , a decent spread of storage , a compressor fridgefreezer and microwave .
And that leaves the bedroom . While there is plenty of space underneath the bed , despite the fact the tunnel boot encroaches somewhat into this space , there are also overhead lockers and side wardrobes with niches .
FULLY-FEATURED EXTERIOR
The Kakadu Kindred Spirit VI Extreme Off Grid rides on a 6in SupaGal chassis with 2in raiser on 3.7-tonne-rated independent coil suspension with dual shocks .
This van is no lightweight and it ’ s worth pointing out that it will require a heavy-duty 4WD for towing duties when loaded . It weighs in at 2680kg Tare but it has an ATM rating of 3700kg .
Due to its impressive ATM , the Kakadu has been fitted with the 4.5-tonne-rated DO45 coupling .
Despite the horrible weather conditions – which included very strong crosswinds – the caravan remained firmly planted to the road as I towed it around town with my Isuzu D-MAX ( the van weighed close to Tare at the time ).
