RV REVIEW
Overall , it ’ s an intriguing , clever layout that simply does not skimp on features and comforts , from the diesel heater , to the inverter and the full bathroom . Nice .
EXTERNAL HIGHLIGHTS
The High Country is built upon a 4in SupaGal chassis with 4in raiser , and a 6in A-frame with a 450mm extension . It rides on 16in alloy wheels with 3000kg-rated Tuff Ride Airbag Level 4 suspension . ‘ Level 4 ’ refers to the fact the airbag suspension has all the features , including the ability to independently raise or lower both sides of the van to level it on-site .
The nearside is extensively fitted out . I ’ m talking an electric awning , a massive tunnel boot , a slide-out kitchen with a small barbecue and a sink .
Being an offroader , Australis has given the High Country rock sliders , a DO35 coupling , and a mesh stoneguard upfront to protect the dual 9kg gas cylinders which sit in front of the A-frame mounted storage box , which incorporates slide-out trays either side ( one for a generator , the other for a 40L fridge ) and a storage compartment in the top .
At the back of the van , you ’ ll find a reversing camera and even a shower . If I was to criticise any aspect of the exterior , I felt the locker doors could have been sturdier , perhaps with compression seals added too .
