An impressive storage system including dual slide-out trays is mounted to the A-frame , behind a couple of 9kg gas cylinders ( protected by a mesh stoneguard ). The nearside tray would be perfect for a portable fridge – Kokoda has even included a 12V point for this purpose . A nearby gas bayonet has been included , too , just in case you want to fit a portable barbecue instead .
Being an offroader , the Force 7 is equipped with Al-Ko Enduro X independent coil suspension . The van sits quite high . It is built atop a 6in DuraGal chassis with 2in riser , with a 6in A-frame that runs back to the suspension mounts . It rolls along on 16in alloy wheels shod with mud terrain tyres . This van is built to go more or less anywhere the 4WD can take it .
SUMMING UP
In some ways , this van offers the best of both worlds in terms of size and functionality . At 21ft , it offers just the right amount of living space for a family , without being so large that it is too difficult to tow or manoeuvre .
The fit and finish is up to Kokoda ’ s usual high standard , both inside and out . I can see why this layout is favoured by so many of this manufacturer ’ s family customers .
