Further , each of the van ’ s water tanks are properly protected . The storage capacity is 160L across two tanks , plus a separate 65L tank dedicated to drinking water , with a filter included . A 95L grey water tank is also included .
The Scorpion Sting rides on Cruisemaster ATX coil spring suspension rated to 4.5 tonnes and , as expected , JB has used the 4.5- tonne-rated DO45 offroad coupling .
One of the key features of this van is the option for timber-less construction . While you could have meranti framing , JB now offers a special polyresin composite construction . Instead of timber , the framework is constructed from this special material , which won ’ t rot . The roof ,
meanwhile , is framed in aluminium to prevent distortion and maintain the integrity of the roofline . XPS foam - a closed cell structural foam also found in fibreglass sandwich panels – comprises the insulation . This alone is a massive upgrade over the polystyrene many manufacturers still use .
Finally , there ’ s the one-piece ‘ honeycomb ’ floor . Complete with an upper and lower skin of woven fibreglass , this flooring system is said to be much stronger than 12mm marine ply , while being 40 per cent lighter .
