RV REVIEW
The bathroom is complete with a Thetford swivel cassette toilet , a small vanity unit with mirror , storage space , black mixer tap and white ceramic sink . The black tapware looks great and I liked that the shower moulding includes a couple of little shelves .
On the technology front , the Kokoda Force 7 is equipped with two 100Ah deep-cycle batteries , which are mounted to the offside chassis rail . Two 170W solar panels are fitted as standard , along with a BMPRO MiniBoost DC-DC charging system . There ’ s also the lithium-ready BMPRO BatteryPlus35 HAII battery management system fitted inside a locker above the dinette , along with the hot water service switches , water pump switch and water level indicators . A Trek digital display is included too .
CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION
Kokoda Caravans builds in a fairly traditional way . An RHS chassis is used , as is meranti timber for the framing and aluminium for the cladding . Composite aluminium is common in Kokoda builds ; however , traditional ribbed cladding has been used here for the sides , while composite aluminium and checkerplate is used for the front , roof and rear .
